21/22, 22/23, 23/24 are PSG's consecutive trophy winning seasons. 2023/2024 I hope Lyon can be the team that wins Ligue 1 because since the 10/11 season until the 2023/2024 season, Lyon has never been the team that won Ligue 1 again.
Last season, they experienced a drastic decline, I even thought they would be relegated even though their performance slowly improved until they finished in 6th place in the standings.

Regarding the team that will win Ligue 1 in the 2024/2025 season, do you have any analysis from which team has a chance other than PSG?

PSG are also interested in Nico Williams, yeah. I have heard they are even thinking about doubling Barcelona's current offer  Shocked  (which must be 58 million euros if I'm not wrong). It would be an insane deal honestly. Just think about it, his release clause is normally this but you are paying two times of it. They are probably targeting him as a replacement for Mbappe so they don't want competition.

I think Athletic Bilbao would never like to accept any other offer which is far away from this level. I assume Williams would also like his team to make more money as he has grown in its youth.  Smiley
Financially, PSG would certainly find it very easy to overtake Barcelona in the race to sign Nico Williams, but the Ligue 1 giants are also being linked with Osimhen, who is also planned to be plotted as a replacement for Mbappe. Moreover, when looking at Barcelona situation which is experiencing a financial crisis, it is clear that PSG will easily win the competition. In my opinion, PSG will tend to prioritize Osimhen first, Luis Enrique needs an experienced center forward to be able to increase their chances in the Champions League. However, it is possible that PSG management wants Nico Williams in one transfer window, for PSG it is not a tough job. There has been no confirmation regarding the future of the two players, it seems that one of them will be successfully obtained.

And one of those potential players is Nico Williams so it is not wrong for PSG to target him at this time because from some forms of struggle a team that was once inhabited by more star players is to continue trying to get potential players with different levels of talent from other players.
Nico Williams' good performance last season was indeed an attraction for top European clubs besides Barcelona and PSG, other clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea are also interested in Nico Williams, so it feels quite difficult for the player to choose where he will continue his career, PSG is indeed a top League 1 club if he is here, he could possibly feel the domestic league title because PSG is the strongest club but most likely he only feels that title, it is not a big challenge at all, but if he is in Barcelona or Arsenal he will feel a bigger challenge and compete with competitive clubs in the league so Nico Williams must think carefully about his future.

PSG entered the negotiations first by signing Neymar to their club from Barcelona for a significant transfer fee. We all know what this club has done in exchange of money. PSG have brought together the best stars in the world for money but they still haven't succeeded. Their activities remind us that spending money alone does not make a team complete but spending the right money in the right place is very important here. PSG brought together the best stars in the world and PSG sold those stars, now PSG is a starless team. But since they have enough financial support, they can organize their team again as per the plan. Now they have a good quality manager in the club under whom PSG can do well if they plan and spend money properly. The biggest blow for them this season is that they lost their key star Mbappe but on the contrary we haven't seen the club sign anyone else so far. But the new player must be signed otherwise they cannot survive in the competition
PSG Football Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has spent a lot of money on his club's players. Basically his only objective was to win the Champions League for which he brought together the biggest stars in the world but they failed to achieve that goal. One of France's best strikers, Kylian Mbappe, was first linked to PSG, then PSG targeted Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. They also bought him for a record price then brought in Argentine striker Lionel Messi. Not only that, they bought Spain's Sergio Ramos to strengthen their midfield. Despite adding so many good players and experienced complete players to the team, PSG could not shine in the Champions League.

Now, however, none of the three strikers Mbappe, Neymar Jr. and Messi are in this team. Mbappe recently joined the Real Madrid club. The team is now completely devoid of strikers as they has joined different clubs.
PSG can now be called a team without stars. PSG now have no quality midfielders, no quality strikers and no quality defenders. After Luis Enrique took charge of PSG in the previous season, he sold all the players that the club did not need. 

Mbappe was very important for them but Mbappe joined Real Madrid this season. You make the point here that PSG have a lot of financial leverage but what I'm saying is that since they spent a lot of money on transfers in previous seasons why aren't they buying any players now. Many names of players are coming up regarding the new contract but we are not getting any official news that PSG has completed the contract with this player. If PSG wants to start a new season with the current squad they have, I would say it would be a wrong decision for PSG. This transfer window should certainly see PSG sign a number of key players to their club but their performance will continue.

Nico Williams is actually a wonderkid and every club keen on getting his signature for their clubs, he's brillaint and knows absolutely what's best for him. Victor Osimhen is 10x better than Nico Williams. As a matter of facts, we can't simply just a season of breakthrough for Nico Williams to compare him with outstanding players that have achieved magnificent awards and winning titles. While Nico Williams is coming up and there's basically more to it for the Spaniard, he has to put in more efforts to set up the basic standards required.
If we look at what some teams need right now or by one of the teams like PSG in the French League, actually one of the two players is worth getting by PSG right now. However, if Nico Williams' interest is not to be at PSG, of course it will be a bit difficult for PSG to get him now so teams like PSG have to look at other options where the player really wants to move and wants to be at PSG like in the example of Victor Osimhen. Although in a fairly detailed comparison, there are certainly differences between the two, but one of them is still suitable for PSG to get before other teams also move to bring them into their respective squads.

Sometimes players not only consider their interest in a club base on their capability of lifting trophies with the so club, but also considers where they will have a good playing time, visible contributions to the team because their journey doesn't just end at lifting trophies, but some are aiming to become the best player in the world and don't want a case where they will be left on the Bench. Therefore, Nico Williams will most likely be lost in the current Madrid team with the kind of star players in there, So if I'm in his place, I would think of going to PSG or consider going to any other interested club in the premier where he will have a good opportunity to display his talent, and Arsenal in this case would be a fantastic choice for Nico Williams.
Sometimes players do have their reasons for staying behind in a team where they probably aren't receiving the opportunity enough to display their talents, it may be that the salary he's getting even without much appearance is just enough and so he would rather stay there than making movement which he may consider not equating the pay he gets and like you said if he's willing to make any moves considering the fact that he may be facing lesser play time soon, Arsenal remains his sure bet for improvement and visibility as the premier League has got all the attention a player needs to be at stardom.

If higher pay becomes the reason behind any players inability to move to another club that means the players has got no talent or he's not sure of himself anymore. A player that is in good form can not be benched for another player to be used always it is either the player is in poor form or the player is serving a punishment for doing something bad in the team otherwise it is very bad for a player to think more of money instead of proving himself and working hard to getting better by moving to another club to improve then get signed by a bigger club for a higher pay. It is only a weak or aged player that will enjoy not playing in his team because of the salary he receives.

Arsenal is not the only team that can improve the performance and visibility of Nico Williams I disagree with the statement, there are other better teams in the EpL that he can perform well and improve if he is signed to the team and I believe the energy he has isn't something he needs to be benched without playing in most of the matches.
I think player loyalty is what makes them reject every offer, they are comfortable with the old team and one side of their family lives there which makes the player feel more comfortable staying rather than leaving for another team. The salary factor is of course the main basis for players leaving from one team to another and it happens often.
I think there is nothing impossible for a big team that has healthy enough finances to look at potential players from other teams. where they will offer a fantastic salary and are also ready to redeem it from the old team with a price tag that could break the purchase record.
From here we see how PSG continues to look for new players to fill the gap left by Mbappe.
PSG management is targeting Osimhen and Nico Williams and if we pay attention, PSG's representatives have made a pretty good approach with the agent. For Williams, he is a target for big teams and this is the right time for him to look for a new challenge by joining another team, be it Barcelona, ​​Arsenal or PSG and it all depends on his decision.

After all, if Nico Williams stays in Bilbao, the reality is that Nico Williams will get a lot of playing minutes because, of course, Nico Williams will also always be a player in the starting eleven. Thus, if Nico Williams receives an offer from another elite team then of course Nico Williams will also get a lot of playing minutes. Because after all, Nico Williams also has great quality, so it would be a shame if Nico Williams was only on the bench.

Apart from that, moving players will of course also want new challenges which will certainly be difficult and interesting to improve their quality. And at the same time, of course they also hope that their success will result in a trophy to be achieved. However, regarding the elite teams who are interested in bringing in Nico Williams, at least it is not just one or two teams, because so far there are Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG who have a strong desire to bring in Nico Williams.
Nico staying at Bilbao would mean that he is not going to improve a lot though. If he goes to a bigger club, with better staff and better facilities, he has the chance to work with amazing people and get better. At Bilbao he will get minutes, at PSG he will not get that kind of minutes but he still will play, I doubt he will stay at the bench all season, he is going to play for a lot of games.

However, more importantly, he will play with much better players and all the other things I listed, so that means if he goes to PSG then he is going to be a much better player. Same works if he goes to Barcelona too, he is going to be much better if he goes there, so it's quite important for his growth.

Of course he can decide to prefer the money, that would definitely be better for him, at PSG he can make more money and he can learn to grow very well too, would perfectly fit him. That is why I think it's quite important to decide on his future at that point. He can't go to City or Madrid, so that leaves PSG and Bayern as the two other great clubs he can grow, PSG already wants him, and never heard Bayern be interested to be fair. If he comes to PSG, he will become a much better player in a few years.

If Nico Williams is not a fan of Barcelona, he will choose another club like Real Madrid or big clubs in Premier League. He will have better opportunities to win titles in Real Madrid than in Barcelona where crisis is on going.

In Premier League, he will receive good salary at big clubs, explore a new league and great match atmosphere there. Moving to Barcelona is like taking high risk and hope that Barcelona will improve in future, from player quality, performance on field, win titles and improve their finance. It is less certain future than what Nico can have with Real Madrid or big clubs in Premier League.

If Barcelona continue to have bad financial and player transfer management, their finance won't be improved but oppositely will get worse.
Madrid will likely never be interested in Nico Williams because looking at the current situation, especially after the arrival of Mbappe, they already have a pretty good trio where Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo so Madrid clearly doesn't need another winger for now.
Barcelona are also difficult because regardless of the fans or whatever in the end it will not change that Barcelona's financial condition is bad and if Nico Williams insists then it could make the situation uncomfortable because Barcelona will find it difficult to pay especially since their offer seems to be more inclined to Dani Olmo for now and Nico Williams is only an option if Dani Olmo cannot be obtained.

Actually, the rumors about PSG wanting Nico Williams at this time could be a good situation because with the stalled negotiations between PSG and Napoli for the Osimhen issue, it seems like it could be a good way for PSG to change their target.
Nico Williams can still be owned by any club when the offer given to Bilbao is appropriate then it will be easier actually and 60 million is not a difficult price for PSG if they seriously want to bring Nico Williams to strengthen their squad in the new season.

Don't compare Nico Williams with Victor Osimhen as they are two different players and Nico Williams still has alot to prove but Victor osimhen is a proven striker and PSG needs to do everything to bring him to the club. They can come to an agreement with Napoli, they should just negotiate better. PSG need a quality striker to fill in the space that Mbappe has left at the club and Victor Osimhen is the perfect player to do that. He also has the attention of the world on him and that'll will be very good marketing for the club and the league. Victor can sell more shirts, it mightn't be as much as mbappe but better than Nico Williams.

But it looks like bringing in Nico Williams and Victor Osimhen will be increasingly difficult for Paris Saint-Germain, as I said before. PSG is faced with several obstacles in bringing in the two names they are targeting in this transfer window, whether it is related to Victor Osimhen or Nico William. The latest news, Fabrizio Romano reports, is that Barcelona is reportedly experiencing a recovery in its financial condition. What we can interpret is that it is possible that Barca will bring Nico Williams to Camp Nou. As for Osimhen, this famous journalist also reported that Napoli seemed reluctant to let Osimhen go with the offer that PSG wanted. It would be a shame if PSG couldn't bring in the players they were targeting, especially since their presence could at least make PSG more competitive in the Champions League competition. I'm curious, because it will be interesting to see the final round in this transfer window.
Barcelona is very serious about bringing in Nico Williams and personally the player does want to join so he can reunite with Yamal. Then if I'm not mistaken another rumor says Barcelona is eyeing Olmo his performance in the Euro made Olmo wanted by many clubs. So Barcelona is trying to recover finances with what? selling players or taking another loan to pile up debt. There is no choice for this club other than to reduce the number of players with quite expensive market prices, one of which is Frankie De Jong, Lewandowski, and most recently Vitor Roque who will join the Saudi Arabian club. PSG without a replacement for Mbappe, then next season this club will be below standard.

@rahmad2nd,

You know, Nico has € 58M release clause contract with Athletic Bilbao till 2027. I don't think PSG's financial power and Luis Enrique will be able to attract this Spanish winger to their squad. The reputation of PSG has taken a big hit after they were unable to win the champions league even though they had almost the best squad in the whole world. Now as all those star players like Kylian Mbappe, Hugo Ekitiké have actually left the club, nobody is actually that interested in going into PSG anymore.

Give me one good reason why would any young player go to PSG when they know that the club is not known for success? Yes, the only reason any player would go to PSG is if he wants a huge amount of money. You know young players should not look at Money at the early stages of his career. These are all the reasons why it has become increasingly hard for PSG to bring in star players. They are at a situation in which throwing more than enough money is not enough anymore.

Exactly! Nico Williams is more of a player that creates chances, not that he doesn't score goals but he is more of a creator than a goalscorer. I have paid close attention on how he played last season ans evem before the season before last for Atletico Bilbao. He is a brilliant talent but not sure he'll be a good replacement for Kylian Mbappe. All he wants right now is Barcelona and the same thing goes with Barcelona.

In my own opinion, they're making a fair offer for Victor Oshime, Napoli are obviously greedy ans wants to earn too much profit from his sale.
Paris Saint Germans needs Victor Oshime, he is a special player, squad player and a goalscorer. He will fill in well as much as they create chances for him. His profile shown in the image above says it well. Tested, Approved and Trusted For both club and country.

Enrique is trying to make a better team in PSG and I think in the long term they will have better results soon.

I agree with you if PSG has difficulty in bringing in Osimhen, maybe the best alternative is to bring in Nico Williams who is slightly younger and also has the same ability as Osimhen.
PSG does not need to wait too long because I am sure if PSG makes a slightly bigger offer like you said, I am sure Nico Williams will accept the offer.

Barcelona is very serious about bringing in Nico Williams and personally the player does want to join so he can reunite with Yamal. Then if I'm not mistaken another rumor says Barcelona is eyeing Olmo his performance in the Euro made Olmo wanted by many clubs. So Barcelona is trying to recover finances with what? selling players or taking another loan to pile up debt. There is no choice for this club other than to reduce the number of players with quite expensive market prices, one of which is Frankie De Jong, Lewandowski, and most recently Vitor Roque who will join the Saudi Arabian club. PSG without a replacement for Mbappe, then next season this club will be below standard. I will not expect much from this club even though the finances are stable but the matter of managing PSG player purchases is quite bad. And for Napoli who are still selfish and want to set a high price, the victim is Osimhen. Failed to leave and at the club will definitely be ostracized by Conte on the bench.
PSG have much better financial opportunities, so if they want to get Nico Williams, they can get ahead of Barcelona. And I even think that now for PSG he can become the number one target, since everything is complicated with Osimhen and it is obvious that after the Euro, Williams is the top player in the transfer market. Enrique expressed his desire to see this player in PSG and they are ready to double Barcelona's offer for Williams on salary, which should be a weighty argument for Nico.

Nico Williams still needs a lot of great experience even though in league 1 it does not provide too much experience compared to other leagues, but at least he can get a big salary for several seasons and after his contract expires he can go to a club from a more popular league.
Currently it is very likely that PSG will fail to recruit Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe next season after @fabrizio romano said that if negotiations between the two teams have reached a dead end and PSG refuses to pay the price set by Napoli, there are actually several players who could be easier targets for get by PSG currently, as you said, currently Nico Williams could actually be a more realistic target and easier for PSG to obtain, although Nico Williams is reportedly interested in playing for Barcelona, but ​​PSG  still able to enter the situation and offer a better offer than Barcelona currently, Nico Williams still has a long contract with Bilbao and if PSG offers Bilbao more money then it is not impossible that Bilbao will prioritize the transfer of Nico Williams to PSG over Barcelona at this time.

Moving to Barcelona is like taking high risk and hope that Barcelona will improve in future, from player quality, performance on field, win titles and improve their finance. It is less certain future than what Nico can have with Real Madrid or big clubs in Premier League.

If Barcelona continue to have bad financial and player transfer management, their finance won't be improved but oppositely will get worse.
If only Nico Williams could choose which team he wanted to play for, then he definitely would. Several Premier League teams have certainly shown interest in Nico Williams, but I think Barcelona is not a bad option for Nico Williams compared to staying at Athletic Bilbao. Nico Williams must advance his career path, including playing with one of the best clubs in La Liga, regardless of whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona.

I'm not saying Barcelona have been completely bad in terms of their approach to player transfers in recent seasons. Pedri is a successful transfer, Lewandowski and Raphinha too, so there has certainly been good improvement from them so far. Barcelona's main problem at the moment is that it is always compared to Real Madrid, it is like heaven and earth in terms of the depth of each club's squad.
