In my opinion, the French League is one of the weakest leagues among the European leagues. The quality of football in this league is not very high, the players and teams are below the Champions League level.
For a few seasons PSG performed well, among the other teams there was no team that had a chance of winning the title, perhaps they have not been very successful in the last 20 years. The 3rd and 4th teams in the Champions League will be easy opponents for other teams Smiley
If you look further, why this league is not as competitive as other leagues is because the teams there do not have the financial capacity like PSG so they cannot buy players to compete. The level of Ligue 1 is actually far behind several other leagues and PSG's dominance cannot be separated from their financial capabilities so that the quality of the players they have is above the average of the players owned by other teams there.

Football now requires the involvement of sufficient money and that is very important because they will look strong when they are able to buy the players they need. The strength of other teams only relies on limited players and in fact it will be quite difficult for them to break PSG's dominance.

There was a time when the hype about PSG was high because at that time PSG broke all the records of the transfer market and signed one after another the best players to their club. As they continued to buy players to strengthen their club, it looked as if PSG would dominate alone but the performance was not the same. Even when other top star players including Neymar Messi Mbappe played for their club, their club team performance was almost nil. 

Neymar playing at the same time as Messi Mbappe could not overcome the barrier of the Super Sixteen of the Champions League was certainly a big surprise for them. 
PSG has changed a lot since the new manager took over and many players have been sold by the club. The team that PSG has now is an average quality team. To improve the performance of this team, better quality players must be appointed
PSG owners have huge ambitions to make PSG a strong team not only in the league, but they are obsessed with winning the Champions League, so they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to recruit star players at that time, Neymar, Messi, Mbappe and Donnarumma become players that they can recruit and make their team look very strong, Previously, the president of PSG really wanted the two best players in the world who had been rivals to join the PSG squad, but this didn't happen after Ronaldo preferred to join another club, I think If Al Naseer previous ambitions are realized then we will see PSG like an Avengers team that has many stars in their squad.

What the PSG president hoped to make PSG a big team has of course been fulfilled now, but even though they have gathered many star players in their squad, PSG is only able to compete in the domestic league without being able to do much in the Champions League so far, even though one by one the star players are leaving PSG at the moment, of course they are still a big team so I think they will still be able to compete in the Champions League even though they may still need a lot of time to become champions.

Saying they are the weakest league, I don't think so, because there are leagues that are weaker than LIgue 1, but overall they will find it difficult to compete in the Champions League. Comparing them with the English League and La Liga for example, you will see quite striking differences between these teams, except for Paris Saint Germain who are still said to be capable because they have a better squad or players than other teams from Ligue 1.

The gap in Ligue 1 is one of the reasons why they look like that and one of them is because they don't have good enough finances to support them to have an even better performance. I wonder why they can't bring in sponsors or they can't have a big source of income, even though in terms of popularity they are also quite a popular team in my opinion. If they want to quickly be able to have good finances like Paris Saint Germain, then in my opinion there must be rich Arab people who take over their ownership.  Cheesy

Paris Saint Germain, Monaco and Brest will represent Ligue 1 in the Champions League next season. By changing the format of the Champions League to a new format, Ligue 1 will get 1 additional slot for the team that will compete in the Champions League. However, I don't see them being able to compete there, because it is a difficult place, only Paris Saint Germain will probably be able to go further and even then they will still fail to win the title they have always wanted.
Compared to teams from other leagues, I don't see them being more convincing, because the competition in Ligue 1 itself doesn't have a good competitive level, so that will affect their performance in bigger competitions. Apart from that, in my opinion their mentality is no better than other league teams. I don't mean to underestimate them, but this is my assessment of several teams that will be in the Champions League representing Ligue 1.

Personally I think some people are becoming bias with the performance of Victor osimhen last season, osimhen's team Napoli lost form last season that alone affected the performance of all the players because as they couldn't win matches anymore and the goal scoring abilities of the player couldn't be seen again because nothing was working in the team. PSG were interested with him but then Napoli wasn't interested in letting him go even with the offer but since they appear not to be interested in the deal it is better goes where he will supported and appreciated instead of going into a team that won't respect your decisions.
His last season wasnt his greatest, but thats not his fault. It was Napoli. Team was a mess. They couldnt help themselves, and he suffered. Even so, he scored 15. Imagine what he could do on a well-oiled squad. Teams like PSG, Chelsea, and Arsenal are smart. They want him for a reason. Napoli has him like a lifeline, but if they cant help him succeed, they're hurting him.

Osimhen requires a winning team. A strong defense, inventive midfield, and off-ball forwards. There, he'll shine. Premier League would suit him. Fast, strong, instinctive. Probably rip it apart. Such skill wasted on a losing squad is unfortunate.

Therefore, PSG must consider it if they want to sign Osimhen because his quality has decreased quite a bit since he led Napoli to win the title, this possibility will certainly also have an impact on his new club. Moreover, the transfer fee is very expensive and if PSG is still dependent on players like that then they will not be able to develop further.

Didn't PSG some time ago not want to be dependent on that and prefer to recruit young players who are quite promising in the future, so they have to maintain this step rather than being attracted to quality that cannot be consistent like Osimhen. I am sure that PSG can slowly change their thinking and management to become the front guard to support this step.
Osimhen performance may not be as good as when he played a few seasons ago, but to compete in Ligue 1 of course he is still quite capable of doing it, Currently, Osimhen is still one of the list of players in Serie A who really has sharpness and goal scoring instincts extraordinarily very good, so we can't underestimate him just because this season he failed to score more than 15 goals, this season Osimhen only played 25 matches with Napoli because he had to play for his country and also suffered an injury when he returned to Napoli, but even so , Napoli  started to experience an increase in performance since Osimhen recovered and returned to the main squad, so we cannot say that the decline in Osimhen number of goals this season is due to his poor play.

Ligue 1 is not a very competitive league even if we compare it to Serie A, so I think Osimhen will be the right option for PSG in the future, it's not wrong to bring in young players but PSG should also be aware that they need experienced players to make the squad to be better, dependence on one player must of course be eliminated by PSG at this time, but even so, of course PSG still needs reliable players or strikers who can be the difference in each of their matches in the next season.

I think people keep making mistakes about Osimhen and his performance in the recent years. Osimhen had a good performance when Spalletti was working there as a coach and this made people think Osimhen was a great player while one reason for Osimhen to have better performance was the strategy of Spalletti and it was not because of Osimhen himself.
Does'nt matter if Osimhen plays in PSG or Napoli the thing thing about Osimhen is we can't expect to see a miracle from this player.

I don't mean to underestimate them, but this is my assessment of several teams that will be in the Champions League representing Ligue 1.
Ligue 1 is just a way for PSG to play in the Champions League so far, because there is no competition which puts them at risk of failing to win in Ligue 1 or missing the Champions League next season, currently Ligue 1 is sending more representatives for play in champions league next season, but even so, it looks like they won't be able to get out of the semi league phase later, currently the teams in Ligue 1 are not strong enough teams and even in the domestic league they are not able to compete with PSG, so there is no reason for us to see that Brest and Monaco are able to compete with other strong European teams in champions league.

PSG is the only strong team that Ligue 1 has in the Champions League, but even so, their it is still doubtful that they will be able to compete for the title in the Champions League, let alone other Ligue 1 teams? currently, Ligue 1 is the least competitive league in Europe  so indeed this makes the mentality of the teams in Ligue 1 very weak, we can even see how great PSG  in Ligue 1, but because their mentality has not been tested by the tight competition in the league, of course they often lose mentally when facing other teams in the champions league so far.
Any player that is moving ro PSG will always play in the Champions League because they are the strongest in Ligue 1. I don't see PSG reaching far compared to this past season in UCL next season because Mbappe that is their key man has left the club and the replacement will not have the qualities that Mbappe has to take them that far to the semifinals.

When PSG had the players that could win the champion league it was futile effort for them and that makes me feel that it is going to be very hard for PSG to win UCL soon because the clubs in Ligue 1 are not strong and competitive enough for PSG which will make it easy for strong clubs to eliminate them in UCL since it is not Ligue 1 clubs.

PSG were interested with him but then Napoli wasn't interested in letting him go even with the offer but since they appear not to be interested in the deal it is better goes where he will supported and appreciated instead of going into a team that won't respect your decisions.
Obviously this is this fact should be considered true because usually I don't know why anyone would be expecting that a team that had a totally poor performance cumulatively should be blamed on a single player who did his best but didn't get the needed support, even for a Play to be outstanding, there needs to be some level of collective support from other team members which I feel osimhen didn't get in full as he should but rather was expected to singly win trophies for the team, at some point mid last season, he was set to leave but Napoli appeared to not letting him go, there after they still weren't showing him the much needed support so very likely he will do better if he's somewhere else where he gets all the support he will be needing.

I think the media needs to bring up the attitude of the team towards the player to the public so that a lot of people have their say concerning this matter of Victor osimhen and his team Napoli. A team can not be in poor form you expect your striker to be scoring goals but when he helped the same team to win trophy he was not well appreciated even when he had the intention of leaving the team he was still not allowed to go because the club still needed him and his services.

I think the club has brought in a good manager that will handle the team well but Conte really need to work with his players and stop being dramatic in his choice of a striker. The Napoli team has made the amount placed on Victor osimhen to drop but yet it is becoming impossible for a club to agree to sign him so I hope they understand what it will caused in the performance of the players because he may have some emotional issues as a result of what has happened between him and his Nigerian coach and what he is facing in Napoli right now.

Ligue 1 is not a very competitive league even if we compare it to Serie A, so I think Osimhen will be the right option for PSG in the future, it's not wrong to bring in young players but PSG should also be aware that they need experienced players to make the squad to be better, dependence on one player must of course be eliminated by PSG at this time, but even so, of course PSG still needs reliable players or strikers who can be the difference in each of their matches in the next season.
PSG must be able to change its habits next season by no longer depending on just one player, because any player is a human being who can get injured because they are not robots who can always be fit in every match, so players from anywhere who are recruited by PSG, of course must can have a good impact on the team even though the team does not have to rely completely on that player. And I think Osimhen is also worth getting as long as there is an agreement from both parties for next season, because if PSG alone has the desire for that, while Napoli or Osimhen themselves have no desire to go to PSG, it is clear that Osimhen's transfer will not happen for PSG.

If Osimhen were so in demand, then some team would have bought him long ago, but he continues to play in Napoli, and all his possible transfers end only in rumors. Sooner or later PSG will win the Champions League, and Ligue 1 remains one of the top leagues that provides many opportunities for the player. Mbappe, by the way, came to PSG from Monaco, and now he is a Real Madrid player, in my opinion this is a very good career development, and it didn’t hurt that he started in Ligue 1.
Osimhen previously played for Lille before Napoli bought him for 60 million euros after he performed quite impressively during his season at Lille,  so It's surprising that Osimhen market value has also increased rapidly at this time, of course, Osimhen attracted the attention of many big clubs when he was able to help Napoli win the Scudetto last season, but at that time, along with a new contract extension, Napoli fenced him off with a fairly high release clause and making many teams choose to withdraw from recruiting him, previously PSG was reportedly very interested in bringing in Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe but for some reason now it seems like PSG is not doing anything to realize their current interest.

The decline in Osimhen performance occurred while he was injured when helping Nigeria in the African Cup last season, but even so when he recovered and return to the team towards the middle of this season he was actually able to make Napoli improve again, In my opinion, Osimhen has made a big contribution to the team that has him, so PSG should be able to consider him as an alternative to become their main striker next season, PSG has a guarantee of qualifying for the UCL every season because they have dominated Ligue 1 so far and of course that is could be a step for Osimhen to become a main star in Ligue 1 , so this will enable him to become a target for other big teams in the future like just like Mbappe is currently.

Victor Osimhen's future is a big question mark as he is likely to leave Napoli this summer transfer season. I think Arsenal and Chelsea are two big clubs interested in moving and staying Nigerian players. As for PSG, I think they may have given up on this deal. Barcelona's Lamine Yamal is the star that PSG wants to pursue. Osimhen's future will certainly be clarified in the summer.

Osimhen is not in good form. Last season, he only scored 17 goals in all competitions.  The clause to break this player's contract is up to 130 million euros, a number that can challenge any club. And of course, Saudi Arabia's football teams also promise to be potential landing spots for Victor Osimhen. Because they have enough money to break that contract.

Even though there was a decline, Osimhen was still able to score 15 goals with Napoli last season. Yes, his scoring ability decreased, but that also happened because the team as a whole was not playing as well as the previous season, so this is not entirely Osimhen's fault in my opinion.
Napoli still insist on setting a high price, even though they have now reduced the price for this player, it is still high. Paris Saint Germain is actually not the only team interested in Osimhen, in the Premier League it is reported that Chelsea are also interested in bringing in this player. Apart from Chelsea, Arsenal is also one of the teams reportedly interested in Osimhen.
I just checked and didn’t find any mention anywhere that PSG would like to buy Osimhen, maybe you confused him with Kvaratskhelia, because PSG want to buy him. But all these are still just rumors, which are now full and in the meantime, PSG remains intrigued, and they still have not strengthened their attack with a forward, although with the departure of Mbappe this is a very necessary step for PSG. Enrique understands this very well, but is in no hurry with new transfers, perhaps they are waiting for the end of the Euro.

As far as I know these transfers have not been finished. Sure they are candidates, but not that relevant at the moment. The European Championship is still going and I think this has priority for the entire French country. Mbappe is gone and they now need to figure out how to find a representative for the future. Not many players can replace Mbappe Wink
Yes, it is clear that there are lots of names that are being linked as great stickers to fill the vacancy left by Mbappe, maybe this is not as replacement but just an effort to fill the front line positions so that they are much stronger after Mbappe departure.
If it is said to be replacement then it must be equal to or much better than Mbappe quality and so far there is no player who is equal to or exceeds Mbappe quality to be able to replace him in the PSG squad, it just that whatever it is, of course we all support the initial steps taken taken by Enrique.
There are more than two names that PSG could potentially bring in in this summer transfer window, and I will be waiting to see who really deserves place in PSG front line in the future.

Everyone is still focused on competitions such as the Euros and the Copa America, but now that there are only few teams left from these two competitions, there are many opportunities for Enrique to re-consider the players he will be interested in in the future.
By the way, France managed to beat Portugal in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 on penalties and they qualified for the semifinals, I saw that there were several young French players who were quite dominant with good skills if they were developed.

During his career he grew up at PSG and everyone knows him thanks to his expertise in leading this team for many years. But unfortunately his age continues to increase and in fact his performance is still good enough to be at PSG. However, no one knows the future and sometimes it comes faster than expected if in the end he chooses to leave PSG.

An offer from a Saudi pro league team will certainly be difficult to refuse, especially since Marquinhos is so full of titles and experience from his time at PSG that even if he leaves, the club won't be able to hold him back any longer. The rest is that PSG must be prepared to look for other alternative players to fill the central defender position that he will leave and I think if Al-Ittihad are interested in signing him then they must quickly provide a proposal.
30 years old Brazilian and PSG centre back who spend his careers 11 years here at the PSG is not well famous but now having under radar of Al Ittihad as they are trying to fix their problems which hurt them in last season, and they were not able to stay at the top of Saudi League with most chance we will have this transfer because now PSG is also trying to have new blood which helps them for having better results in all competitions he was one of the highest paid player under 20 at the time of this transfer from Roma.

Offer is surely going to be considered by the PSG Management because now having new coach at the both clubs and trying to bring improved things going to be helpful for them having good amount into their wallet after selling Marquinhos who is captain but not well favored right now due to having changes at this club under Luis Enrique.
Paris Saint Germain will see first whether they can bring in a player who can replace Marquinhos well or not, because in my opinion he is still enough to stay at Paris Saint Germain. They also shouldn't be tempted by the money they will get from the Saudi team, because they also have good finances.
However, it also depends on whether the coach will retain this player or not and the management will definitely discuss it with the coach first. If the coach wants to keep him, then I think he will still stay at Paris Saint Germain, unless the coach doesn't include him in the game scenario that will be implemented.

Personally I think some people are becoming bias with the performance of Victor osimhen last season, osimhen's team Napoli lost form last season that alone affected the performance of all the players because as they couldn't win matches anymore and the goal scoring abilities of the player couldn't be seen again because nothing was working in the team.

As far as I know, last season Osimhen had a very large transfer market value which made many clubs unable to get him. Napoli also won't let other clubs get it easily. Because of that, they set a high price clause for Osimhen. This season Napoli's performance has been very bad. Osimhen managed to score 15 goals and was among the top scorers but was unable to provide a good performance for Napoli.
A good player will not be able to provide good performance for the team if he can only work alone without any help from his own teammates on the team. So it would not be enough to say that Osimhen is a bad player because he does not get more good support from his teammates who may still be less able to provide the best passes to him when in the match. Because in fact he still has to be considered a good player at Napoli so that Napoli sets a high price for him so that other teams cannot reach him more easily.

When Napoli won the Scudetto even though Osimhen's transfer market value was very high, but other elite teams could certainly afford to buy him. But, because Osimhen chose to stay at Napoli, then the other elite teams failed to sign Osimhen. So, it's not about the high transfer market value, because Osimhen himself refused the offer from other elite teams and Osimhen received a contract extension at Napoli because Osimhen chose to stay at Napoli. But unfortunately, because in the last season Napoli got bad results and Osimhen's performance also decreased but, this moment Napoli still set a high price on Osimhen. Thus, the elite team that currently still wants Osimhen to be hesitant and full of consideration, because the performance decreased last season but Napoli still put a high price for Osimhen.
Therefore, PSG must consider it if they want to sign Osimhen because his quality has decreased quite a bit since he led Napoli to win the title, this possibility will certainly also have an impact on his new club. Moreover, the transfer fee is very expensive and if PSG is still dependent on players like that then they will not be able to develop further.

Didn't PSG some time ago not want to be dependent on that and prefer to recruit young players who are quite promising in the future, so they have to maintain this step rather than being attracted to quality that cannot be consistent like Osimhen. I am sure that PSG can slowly change their thinking and management to become the front guard to support this step.

Are you kidding me? PSG is a "developing team"? More like a black hole in development for ambition and talent. Yes, they have money to burn; but, when has that ever translated into Champions League glory? Stand up and scent the Qatari oil, folks! Lamine Yamal and Osimhen could be generational gifts. Why would they waste their prime years in a club thats more interested in buying trophies than earning them? Playing time at PSG? Please. PSG's only development is their standing as the top European football bottler.
PSG is a big club but unfortunately this club is not developing well but I understand maybe this is because PSG is in league 1 where the competition is not as competitive as other European leagues, other clubs do not have as much finances as PSG in recruiting star players because that is PSG always win domestic titles because PSG's strength is greater than other clubs in the league.

However, PSG's many struggles in improving the quality of their game still mean their strength is not comparable to that of strong clubs from other leagues who always dominate the Champions League.

In my opinion, bringing in young players like Yamal and Oshimen there is no harm. PSG wants to continue fighting to perform well in the future, no matter how difficult the challenge is they won't just give up.

Honestly, I don't understand what you mean by saying that PSG is more interested in buying trophies than getting them? I guess not everything can be bought even if it's a trophy?! If he can buy it, why doesn't he buy the UCL trophy instead of having to fight all this way? PSG won the League 1 title because of the strength they have.
