I think PSG should be able to ultimatum Mbappe now to take a firm stance, because if Mbappe really doesn't want to extend his contract, it's better for PSG to sell him in the current transfer market, than in June Mbappe will be a free transfer and of course PSG won't will get a money from the departure of Mbappe, even without Mbappe, I think PSG front line will still be dangerous because they still have Dimaria, Neymar, Icardi and Messi, so maybe losing Mbappe will not affect PSG front line too much , I think by selling Mbappe PSG still has the opportunity to use the money to look for other players who can replace Mbappe's position later.

Real have already offered PSG 200 million (if I'm not mistaken) for Mbappe, but PSG refused. In fact, they turned down 200 million simply to have him play one more season - that seems to be an all-time record. I guess the PSG bosses think that Mbappe will be the key player this season to help PSG win the Champions League, otherwise I can't explain this financial decision.

It's not unusual for Madrid to buy Mbappe now because they have prepared a fund of 292 million pounds for the purchase of players, but PSG who don't want to let Mbappe go this season make Madrid may have to wait until next summer to get him in free, PSG are indeed a rich club but I don't think they will be ready to lose 200 million by rejecting madrid offer and prefer to keep mbappe until the end of his contract.
I think PSG decision to keep mbappe and risk losing him for free is a stupid financial strategy, to compete in the UCL maybe for now messi, neymar and di maria are enough for PSG in my opinion.

Lille are actually not too bad for quite many weeks in the standings now. They didn't lose their last eight league matches but won only three of them as far as I can see now. The only thing they need is to start a winning streak now. And their next match is today against Lorient home. Lille are in a better shape than Lorient obviously now and they should be winning this match without having too much problem. Lorient haven't been getting any win for a long time period. And Lille defeated them in their last home match by 4-0. Maybe they wouldn't have that big gap now but they can still win.

Clermont will be playing against Strasbourg at their home stadium today but the offense of Clermont are not strong and I think they might struggle to score goals against Strasbourg. I guess Clermont might try to adopt a defensive strategy in order to force a draw against Strasbourg and this might be a boring match that ends up with a goalless draw at the final whistle.

Clermount is now ranked 16th in the standings, has played 20 matches, Clermount has 18 points, while Strasbourg has also made 20 matches, Strasbourg has collected 32 points, and is ranked 7th in the standings, in my personal opinion the match tonight is also a bit boring, strasbourg will definitely play an attacking game, because they want points to be able to shift the position of monaco which is ranked 5th in the standings, while in the clermout camp they will definitely play defensively, only being able to get one point, so they can avoid the zone relegation, my prediction tonight Strasbourg managed to bring home 3 points, and managed to break into the clermout goal, with a thin score of 0-1..

We'll see if winning the Champions League trophy this season can change Mbappe's mind or not. But I think Mbappe is not interested in playing
for PSG any longer, because several times the PSG management gave Mbappe a contract offer which was always rejected. This means that Mbappe is
no longer interested in negotiating a contract extension with PSG. I agree that what is in Mbappe's mind is maybe he only wants to play for
Real Madrid, so PSG do have to let Mbappe leave at the end of this season. Because in my opinion there is no point in forcing a player whose heart is
not at PSG anymore, because there are still many other good players who want to play for PSG. Instead of focusing on extending Mbappe's
contract which is likely to fail, better focus on finding a replacement for Mbappe for next season. Maybe Haaland or Lewandowski could be good
options to replace Mbappe at PSG.

As Kylian Mbappe will leave the team to join Real Madrid this summer most probably, PSG will need to look for a top striker to be able to fill his place. At this point, the rightest candidates would really be Lewandowski and Haaland. We know already how PSG are eager to sign Haaland too. They are in the race with top teams like Real Madrid for him. In case they fail, they can go for Lewandowski. He was speculated to leave last summer but he chose to stay for at least one more year. PSG might sign him this time.

It is a pretty obvious fact that Paris Saint-Germain wants to win the Champions League this season, however, it was obvious in previous seasons.

PSG and Manchester City want it in the last decade and they both came closely to the title in last few seasons. They have first Champions League final but failed in their finals.

Quote

Given the amazing statistics of Mbappe's game for the club and his system-forming role in the team, I would like to say that it will be much more difficult to do without his participation, given the periodic absence of Neymar and also the absence and some problems in adapting to Messi. Therefore, the management of Paris Saint-Germain is facing a difficult dilemma when Mbappe's playing until the end of the season in the team and the potential departure after the end of the season or the sale of the player now and the weakening of the chances of winning the Champions League are on the same scale.

Mbappe in this season has more importance in PSG when Messi and Neymar were given a longer vacation because of Coppa America. Then they returned to the club too early than team mates and needed more time for training. Then in mean time, Mbappe and other players carried the club and more impressively, they won many matches in early of season. That is foundation for their successful big gap against opponents now.

Mbappe might only stay in PSG if they win Champions League and if Zidane becomes a new coach here. If they fail to win Champions League, I believe that PSG won't have chance to convince Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe is having another awesome season right now. He has played in 27 official games so far. And he scored 19 goals and made 17 assists in these games. His market value seems to be €160m. But as we all know, he is available for a free transfer as he hasn't extended his contract with PSG. The team are trying their best to convince him to stay here for at least one more year. But he doesn't seem to have such intention. He wants to go to Real Madrid and he will in this summer.

One of the most Interesting match today was Strasbourg Vs Montpellier. The host performance was great, they were probably losing in the first half, but they turned the match around in the second half, and won with 2 goals difference. Although, Montpellier got a red card while Strasbourg took good advantage of the situation. Because Strasbourg scored their 3 goals after the red card. However, Strasbourg are now at the 7th place on the standings and also a point ahead of Montpellier.

Strasbourg is a realy tough team and they are fun to watch they play realy good and we see them always dominate their opponent they deserve the win against montpellier they have thomasson and ludovic duo the two of them managed to score 17 goals and 9 assists which makes them involved in more than 50% of their team goals.

Despite forming a squad with second tier players, PSG played very well. Since their main players were not in the squad, they tried to keep the ball in possession in this match. This strategy was justified. Moreover, every player of the team has tried to perform well enough. But Mbappe's performance was awesome. He has a total of 8 shots. If Mbappe can play well, it will be difficult for the opponent to resist the PSG team.

mbappe is at the peak of his performance, no wonder why he is playing so well against Brest

but I am curious about the words he said when he was shown a yellow card by the referee and it made the PSG fans excited, he said "I'm fed up with this league" many fans have asked if it's true that he will move from PSG until his contract expires this year

Marseille have been wasting so many chances so far. PSG lost too many points recently actually but Marseille still couldn't take advantage of it. They had one of their biggest chance in the Lille game as their competitor played with one less player for an hour. But Marseille still had a big problem on even finding the equalizer. It came later in the game and Lille defended them really well in the remaining minutes of the game. And this was another disappointment for Marseille. I don't see any other team rather than PSG that deserve to win the championship now.

I hoped to see Marseille defeating Lille yesterday but they were incapable of doing it. Actually, they could have done this after Lille got a red card earlier in the match. But they scored the equalizing goal so late that they had not much time left for the final whistle. I think that Marseille could have won this match if they were able to score earlier in the second half at least. And Nice must be happy about this result as they are maintaining being the 2nd in the standings now. Maybe Marseille have one missing match to be played but the point difference is two between them. It is not a big deal for Nice I mean.

OM missed a chance to keep a potential 8 points gap from PSG with their draw against Lille although playing most of the game with 10 players. PSG is blessed with such competitors..
OM has to play seriously in the French Cup so they can achieve something this season but I have my worries about them.

Marseille got a disappointing result against Lille today. Lille got ahead first and got a red card also in the 32nd minute already. This meant that Lille were going to play with ten players for at least an hour. This could have turned to a nightmare for Lille. But they should be very grateful that Marseille were able to score the equalizer in the last fifteen minutes barely and they couldn't score the second one. This 1-1 draw was good for Lille as they were playing as one man less. But Marseille missed the chance of keeping up with PSG to prevent the gap from opening.

It was a terrible result for marseille because it was against a 10 men team and now they can even lose the second position to nice which is to be expected since their results are inconsistent and they lose too much points at home.

Even French League most teams are unpredictable but still surely it's terrible from Marseille side because they have some good advantage for 1 hour and playing at home but still fail to have any advantage from 10 men another struggling club Lille which mean now it's wide open for few teams to reach at top 5 teams.

Marseille is still having one match in hands and gap is also just two point from second seed Nice, but now it looks very interesting with Monaco is also improving their form for some better result and Rennes is also having good time as they thrash Bordeaux by 6 - 0, so now these all need some very good and positive results for having better end of this season.

Marseille failed to take advantage of the advantage in the number of players in that match, even though they should have been able to take advantage of it to be able to win and stick to Nice who is in second place in the French league standings, despite playing with a shortage of players, but in fact Lille managed to press marseille every once in a while , despite winning in possession, but poor finishing from marseille players meant they now have to settle for third place with 37 points from 20 games.
