But it doesn't come as a surprise to be able to compete with PSG in the race for the title, only a few teams performed better and were in the top 4 positions.
PSG in League 1 is quite strong, financially they are very different from other teams so no team can compete with them, that's what makes League 1 uncompetitive.

After Mbappe's departure from PSG, in my opinion this team will not have a big impact on the competition to retain the League 1 trophy and they will of course continue to build the team to be stronger, so far the PSG team has not had any significant problems.

I also think like you. Management's missteps lead the team to disaster. Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world and it is abnormal to be managed with so much debt. They also have difficulty finding financial resources to pay off the debt. Naturally, success does not come in football. The players are not as extraordinary as they used to be. They have one of the best squads in La Liga, but they will continue to be in the shadow of Real Madrid

Every season, some clubs definitely have problems and sometimes there are also surprises, top clubs can have difficulty stabilizing their performance and end up experiencing a decline in performance, for example Lyon last season and there is also a club that is quite surprising, namely Brest, which was able to reach the top 3 last season even though in the previous season he was in the middle of the table, we cannot predict the results early because in football there are always changes depending on the coach who manages the club so that it remains strong.

League 1 is not a rich league and as far as I know, only PSG has the biggest finances here, so it's only natural that clubs here have difficulty recruiting expensive players. They can only recruit players at relatively cheap prices with good potential so that their competition continues well.

Selling Yamal to PSG will be a big mistake for Barcelona, although I know that Barcelona needs money that they will use to build the team project but selling Yamal to PSG is not a good idea, Yamal is a good talent kid who is going to help Barcelona team in the future, all the current attacking players of Barcelona there is no any good player that is better than Yamal now, PSG are just wasting their money buying players that can not help them and be spoiling their career, the reason why I said PSG spoiled players career is because of the way the team owners behave, when they sign a player they will not want to player should go, they will want to player should end his career in the team and if anyone does not believe we use Mbape own as an example.

Yamal coming to PSG will not make the kid achieve anything good in his career, he will never win the champion League or any trophy that will make him win the Ballon Dior award, I don’t even know what PSG is taking their self, they think they can get any player they want as far as they have the money, money is not everything in football, having a good career is what matters in football and it is very good that Barcelona coach and the team are not even thinking of selling yamal even with the big price.

I am more interested if PSG can recruit both of them at the same time and that will be a very good strength for PSG in competing next season. Osimhen has much better experience and he could be an option as a needed purchase when Luis Enrique is interested in exploiting the target man position. Lamine Yamal is a young player who is quite influential in the current national team and his contribution can be said to have helped La Roja so far.

Of course the price of releasing both of them is very expensive, but for PSG it is not that difficult, they just need to consider suitability so as not to experience problems with regulations related to financial issues in buying players. If the opportunity to recruit both of them is available then I think it will be a good strength for PSG next season.

Both players have very expensive release clauses, PSG management should consider their needs wisely before finalizing which players they will recruit. Osimhen no doubt has better experience than Lamine Yamal, so his chances of adapting to a new club will also be easier. Actually, PSG could easily recruit these two players in one transfer window, because the Ligue 1 giant has very stable financial strength. Luis Enrique needs a suitable replacement to fill the void left by Mbappe, although in his squad there are a number of alternative options that could be used. In my opinion, PSG will likely continue to hunt for star players, to maintain their prestige as one of Europe elite teams.

The fact that Lamine Yamal have been performing exceptionally well with the Spanish national team in the ongoing UEFA Euros Championship and how he had an impressive stats in his first season with the Barcelona first team doesn't mean that he'll easily adapt in any team he founds himself. There's no doubt that the Spain international is very talented and has great potentials that he's yet to live to the it's fullness that's not a guarantee that he'll have instant positive effect if Paris Saint Germaine signs him.
Victor Osimhen on the other hand has played for more than three different clubs and still delivered great results for his teams so I think he's a a better option in terms of instant positive effect than Lamine Yamal.
Paris Saint Germaine management still have a he final say as to which player among the two will be signed to the club but for them to sign Lamine Yamal, they'll likely have to break the banks to convince his current club Barcelona to allow him join them while Napoli will easily allow Victor Osimhen leave the club if they get a reasonable offer

Every new player will of course need adaptation, especially as Yamal is still very young. Regarding good performance with the Spanish national team, it is because it is his own country, so it will not be difficult for Yamal to continue playing well there. But, if they play for different clubs, countries and leagues then of course they will need adaptation. But regarding Yamal and Osimhen, both of them are still young and will certainly remain good for the long term. Thus, whether PSG will get Yamal or Osimhen, basically it will still be a good choice for PSG too, because they can be players for the long term because they also have great potential to be able to have good quality over time.

The thing is that Koeman did not play any decent la masia graduates, whereas Xavi did, and we are going to see if Flick will find any new ones as well, I doubt that. So, Xavi is the only reason why they are capable of getting good players from the youth setup and they got rid of him all the same. Also, if Laporte can get fed up with bad stats and fire a manager, who is there to fire Laporte? Because to be fair to fans, nobody wants him there anymore and he should leave and someone else should be there. If I had the right, I would have kept Xavi, and instead got a better president for the team.

The reality is that if you switch Laporte and Perez, then Barcelona would be a team with a lot of money, a big cap space, a lot more titles and Real would suck even more than Barcelona is right now. The only difference both clubs right now is the presidents and yet the players can be sold or not resigned, the manager could be fired, and yet Laporte always stays anyway.

Since the issue of Mbappe's move emerged before his move to Madrid took place, in fact Osimhen had been projected by PSG as one of the players they considered ideal to replace Mbappe in PSG's front line, but as you said, now it seems like PSG is starting to no longer try to recruiting Osimhen even though Osimhen and Napoli have publicly confirmed the possibility of Osimhen moving to another team next summer, the high price set by Napoli is of course the main reason for the withdrawal of many teams who have wanted to recruit Osimhen so far, including PSG, even though PSG is a rich  financially club, but it seems they are still doubtful about Osimhen quality so they reject to pay the Nigerian player a high price.

In the last few seasons, apart from Osimhen, of course Lamine Yamal has been one of the targets desired by PSG, but reportedly Barcelona refused to let go of Lamine Yamal even though he was offered for 200 million euros previously  and there are even rumors circulating that currently PSG is starting to increase the offer to 250 million euros for got Lamine Yamal, but Barcelona has not confirmed accepting or rejecting the offer, compared to Lamine Yamal, of course Osimhen will adapt more easily to PSG, because before Osimhen played for Napoli he had played for Lille in Ligue 1.

I heard that Paris Saint Germain had submitted a proposal to offer Osimhen to Napoli, but Napoli rejected it because the price proposed by Paris Saint Germain was not in line with the price they wanted. And it seems that Paris Saint Germain has no intention of making another offer because maybe they don't have high hopes for Osimhen. The reason is that we know that if Parisian giant Germain is really serious, then whatever price they will pay.
However, now the situation has changed unlike last season, I mean Osimhen's performance has also decreased slightly, so those who want to bring in Osimhen might think again if the price is too high. Even though in the previous season there were many high offers for Osimhen after helping Napoli become champions.

Lamine Yamal is Barcelona's long-term asset, if Barcelona let him go it would be a shame. Moreover, currently Barcelona has several potential young players. I'm sure Barcelona won't let him go, because these potential young players will be the future players in Catalonia. Even though the financial crisis has never recovered, it doesn't seem like a wise choice to let go of Lamine Yamal or other young players like Gavi or Pedri. Besides that. Yamal is a player on Hansi Flick's main squad list. Plus, Flick is also reviewing La Masia academy players to bring them into the first team.

Talking about Paris Saint-Germain, I'm not sure if they are really serious about bringing Yamal to the Pack des Princes. Moreover, Yamal is not in Mbappe's position if Enrique is looking for an ideal replacement. After all, at PSG there is Dembele who plays on the wing like Yamal. ideally, Osimhen is the perfect alternative for PSG. However, so far PSG have not made any moves apart from approaching Osimhen's colleagues at Napoli.  it could be, if PSG waits for the momentum to get Osimhen at the ideal price. The reason is, on the other hand, Napoli needs funds to bring in several new arrivals that Conte wants. By the way, PSG actually has several strikers who can play as center forwards. Whether it was Goncalo Ramos, Kolo Muani or even Marco Asensio, Enrique had rotated as a center forward before he was injured at that time. So far, I haven't seen any real prospects for PSG to bring in new arrivals. but I'm pretty sure that PSG, or Enrique have plans in this transfer window. At the very least, PSG will continue to try to remain competitive after Mbappe's departure.

Currently, there are many other targets that can be achieved by PSG, although the target players will not be as good as Mbappe because players like Mbappe are already quite phenomenal and difficult to replace equally by other young players at this time. However, in conditions like this, of course PSG itself must not give up on finding it in order to keep PSG on a stronger track next season by targeting trophies as usual.

Victor Osimhen could actually be an alternative for PSG but we will never know how much interest PSG has in him, whereas we know that Victor Osimhen doesn't seem to be the player that PSG is looking for because they want Yamal at a high price to be able to replace Mbappe, if they recruit Victor Osimhen because He can learn at PSG, of course it will take more time, but Yamal really plays without having to learn to adapt much because he seems to adapt very quickly to new players, as he is currently playing for Spain very well.

I agree with you that Barcelona problem is from the management and if they are not changed things will not get better. Xavi did nothing wrong but tried to manage the ugly financial situation in the club by bringing Yamal to play in with the senior team and it was a great decision because Yamal surprised the world with his outstanding performance at 16. Xavi made the club finished second which it was impossible for the to finish first due to Real Madrid super form. Why sending Xavi away just because of pride, when it business you consider the success stories and not the speech of the person based on sentiment.

Mbappe interest in Lamine Yamal could ease the burden on Barcelona, ​​which is currently experiencing a financial crisis. The money PSG is offering the La Masia dropout could break the previous transfer record still held by Neymar. It has been confirmed that Barcelona is not interested in selling one of its best players, the player also wants to continue playing for Barcelona and wants to become a legend there. As a result of no agreement between the two parties making this transfer difficult to occur, PSG had to look for another target to replace Mbappe.

PSG can use Victor Osimhen as an alternative if they fail to bring in Yamal, he is also a very talented player, he needs to be handled by a great coach to develop his talent. It seems that PSG is a more suitable club for Victor Osimhen than the club he is currently playing for, he can develop more there and have the opportunity to play in the Champions League. Osimhen also has the opportunity to win trophies with PSG because the club always dominates Ligue 1.

Ethan Mbappe, who is also the brother of Kylian Mbappe, decided to leave PSG at the end of this season after his contract ended and this time he continued his adventure by joining Lille. It felt like it might be too soon for him to leave PSG, but it also seemed like he didn't want to continue to depend on anyone, so when his older brother left PSG and joined Real Madrid, he also decided to just leave.

He will just start medical tests as a new Lille player and soon we will see him officially announced as Lille's newest recruit. If we talk about his statistics, of course it's still very early because he didn't get many opportunities when he was at PSG and he was played at least a few times last season. Unlike his older brother who plays as a winger or striker, here Ethan Mbappe chooses to play as a midfielder and of course this will be a new strength for Lille in their midfield.

€250million for a 16 year old, that's crazy I don't know if PSG would want to invest such amount of money into the signing of the wonderkid because Barcelona won't hesitate to accept the offer since it will help to save them the financial crisis at some point and they can make use of the money to attract few players into the team.Lamine Yamal is a great player who's committed to remain in Barcelona no doubt but the current situation of the team can lead to him leaving the team if he's convinced by the President and coach of Barcelona so I think it is left for PSG to decide if they want to spend a whooping €250 million on Lamine Yamal or they will consider paying a 100million plus to Napoli to secure the signature of the Nigerian international Victor Osimhen.

Firstly I have strong feeling this sixteen years old wonder kid can't bring as Kylian Mbappé replacement because he was perfect player and done historic job here at this club and Lamine Yamal is still kid, and he needs time for having things like Mbappé which need time but as PSG is interested because they have done same with Kylian Mbappé, and then we have him at the Real Madrid but price for this very high €250 million so most chances they will not go for this gamble.

But in case if they are having him most chances this is not guaranteed for having success because he is not having ability to do things like big star can do this could be investment for them which will give them good profit in long run which is also good but most chances we are not going to have any deal like this from the Barcelona which is needed huge amount for setting things, but they will stay at their own stance about this player to keep him.
