On the one hand, Barcelona really needs money, an offer from PSG who is willing to redeem Yamal for a fantastic value can help Barcelona reduce the financial problems they are currently facing. On the other hand, Barcelona considers Yamal as their most valuable future asset, the player also wants to continue playing for Barcelona and has dreams of becoming a legend there.

PSG really wants to recruit Yamal from Barcelona because it is considered an ideal replacement to fill the position left by Mbappe. PSG is also taking advantage of Barcelona situation which really needs fresh funds to get out of financial problems. PSG must look at other players to build their squad if they fail to bring in Yamal, several top strikers are still available in the transfer market who could be used as new goal machines for them.

Most teams in Ligue One will not be able to match PSG's financial strength and that is why they find it very difficult to remove PSG from their throne every season. What they can do naturally is to stay in Ligue One without experiencing bad luck such as financial collapse which can sometimes put their team in trouble and of course this will have a bad impact in the long term.

It also seems like we can't really hope for a miracle because after all, even though PSG is already so strong, they continue to shop for players to strengthen the depth of their squad and in fact their aim is not for Ligue One but rather for more difficult competitions such as the Champions League. We know that this is one of the obstacles that PSG have not been able to overcome until now and they will certainly be bored if they only win the title in France.

Liga1 will still be controlled by PSG next season as long as the other teams are unable to match PSG's strength and finances so that the end-of-season trophy for Liga1 will still be won by PSG. However, it is still highly doubtful that there will be trophies in other competitions if PSG does not have super good players and super good tactics during their career. Because from Mbappe's example we can see that he has never tasted the Champions League trophy while playing for PSG in the past, including the last time last season.

Even if Barcelona has a bad CEO like Laporta who only wants to sell players to earn money and have better financial situation from selling players they have, but still I don't think if Barcelona will ever accept to sell Yamal. They know Yamal is almost the most valuable player they have in Barcelona and he can have a shining future in Barcelona and he can paly there for years considering his age that's why selling Yamal can't be a wise decision at all. However Barcelona don't have enough enough to make PSG stop trying to hire Yamal.
 

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.
