Julian Alvarez would definitely be an amazing transfer for PSG without a doubt. He could play at striker, but he could play at wing and he could play even behind the striker as well as advanced midfield too, dude is basically great at multiple positions. Depending on what they need at that moment they could make it work and I believe that it would benefit them a lot.

This will not be a simple thing of course, but I believe that it is going to be not that impossible neither, we are going to see it happen. One hundred million is of course a lot, and I understand why it would be too expensive, even for PSG standards but it is still within the range that they could pay, so I feel like it could very well happen.

I doubt any other team can do it considering PSG previously lost Lionel Messi and Neymar but that did not affect their dominance in Legue 1 I believe Luis Enrique is much better than the previous coach, to defend the title will be easier for him to do. Ligue 1 is different and a strong team like PSG is difficult to beat because they have a much better squad and are supported by extraordinary finances.

The heavy burden that Luis Enrique must carry is bringing PSG to compete for the Champions League title. Because building a squad to be stronger and more solid is very difficult and he must really find the format of the players needed, not just big names.

Will Still has officially announced his resignation from reims this season after failing to bring reims to perform consistently and quite well in ligue 1 this season, at the beginning of coaching reims he was able to give a fairly good performance but unfortunately the team inconsistent performance certainly made him decide to resign from his position, currently the vacancy of the coach of course makes reims to immediately get a new coach ahead of next season,  At the moment I think Davide Ancelotti will be the right choice and will most likely be able to bring a significant change to Reims performance next season, but the change of coach alone is certainly not enough for Reims to compete in Ligue 1, if they also do not improve the squad or at least bring in new players to face the competition next season.

Davide Ancelotti has been an assistant coach and handling Reims will of course be his first experience coaching the club officially, although Davide Ancelotti has been an assistant coach so far, but with all the knowledge he has gained from Ancelotti in coaching a big team, of course it will be very useful to bring Reims to become a better team next season,  By coaching Reims next season, of course, it gives Davide Ancelotti the opportunity to apply all the lessons he has learned from his father so far.

Davide Ancelotti has been an assistant manager at Real Madrid and his previous teams with the same role were Everton, Napoli and Bayern Munich. He must have had a good level of experience so far. 

But I still have doubts about what he would do as a manager as it is going to be for the first time. If he has learned something good from at least his father in these years there is still a silver lining. Ancelotti is a great manager in the end. Maybe Davide can at least do better than Reims' previous manager who was Will Still. I believe he is more advantageous than him technically because of having a stronger background.

Although Davide has been an assistant coach for a long time and certainly has great experience as well but in reality, Davide was not so successful as a player. But indeed, having great experience or not as a player, but when they become a coach can indeed have good results and can also be bad. Therefore, being a great player or not, the reality is that it does not guarantee that someone will succeed or fail when they become a coach. But indeed, because Davide always seems to get great lessons from his father, then maybe accepting Reims offer will be a good choice. Because then, it will certainly make Davide get a new experience that was previously only an assistant coach, but at Reims later Davide will become the head coach.

Mbappe's departure from PSG certainly makes the opportunities for other teams in Ligue 1 to win the Ligue 1 title next season even greater, but is that actually the case? certainly not. Even LOSC Lille, who became champions in the 2020/21 season, almost couldn't get their title because the point difference was very small, IMO it's not about Mbappe leaving or not, but about whether PSG will experience a decline in performance or not. If PSG has unstable performance next season, then the answer is "Yes" for other teams in Ligue 1 who have the opportunity to win the title next season.

PSG is indeed very good in terms of squad, they can buy talented players at high prices, but losing Mbappe really affects the depth of PSG's squad because Mbappe is very important there losing him would create chaos in the PSG team, and it is very likely that PSG will not be able to conquer the French league again like they did last season.

Because a team like Olympique de Marseille next season will work hard to become champions, because these two teams have high integrity and also have strong playing ability, in my opinion next season Olympique de Marseille will disrupt PSG's desire to defend the league trophy, PSG will not The strongest favorites next season to win the French League, let alone the Champions League, because their decline has begun to appear at the end of last season.

Every season their goal is to win the Champions League title, and every season they always fail which makes them feel disappointed again and again. They had a chance this season, but they failed in the semifinal match against Borussia Dortmund, where they were actually the favorites to win the title.
Paris Saint Germain did everything they could to achieve their target, including spending a lot of money to win the title. However, it did not produce good results and they did not show any significant impact. What they haven't done is set a strong foundation, that might be the answer to the difficulties they are experiencing, they must have the courage to try it.

Alvarez has achieved a lot with Argentina and Manchester City, so it is natural that Manchester City will charge a very expensive price for a team that wants to sign Alvarez next summer, so far Alvarez has often been a reserve player at Manchester City and that's why he asked Guardiola to sell him this summer, but it seems that Manchester City are starting to have valuable experience after selling Palmer to Chelsea at a low price.  But he's been able to develop quite well at Chelsea at the moment, I think that's why Manchester City also starting to charge a high price for every team that wants to sign their players.

Alvarez was previously able to perform quite well at Manchester City but he actually lost the competition with Erling Haalaand, so indeed he actually lost the opportunity to show his capacity as a talented attacker, losing Mbappe of course made PSG target Alvarez to replace Mbappe position in the PSG front line and I think they are ready to pay a lot of money for a player who does fit the criteria that PSG wants now,  For Alvarez, moving to PSG is certainly one of the right solutions to be able to return to being a mainstay player and also show his greatness as a goalscorer

Julian Alvarez is a very talented player. And because of the excellent performance of Julian Alvarez, Manchester City won some important matches. Guardiola did not place her starting XI Julian Alvarez. Yet this season, Julian Alvarez scored 5 goals and 3 assists. Julian Alvarez performed much better than Rashford, Hojlund or Antony. So I am not surprised at all that the price of Julian Alvarez is 1 million. Moreover, Julian Alvarez is a young player. Naturally the price of Julian Alvarez is higher.

I thought Luis Enrique would try this season to get Osimhen in the squad. But now PSG management is probably trying to add Julian Alvarez to the squad. If Luis Enrique can properly guide Julian Alvarez then we will see better performance than Julian Alvarez. Julian Alvarez has already given us the proof of his ability.

Too overrate with Julian Alvarez values above 95 million euro because he is not regular player with Manchester City and always become second choose for Pep Guardiola. But its not problem for PSG spending high amount fees for signing Julian Alvarez. In this season Julian Alvarez played 36 matches in Premier League but most of substitutes but he was success scoring 11 goals and 9 assists, actually Julian Alvarez is not central forward player typical who needed by PSG after leaving by Kylian Mbappe.

Manchester City most excited if can reach agreement deal with 95 million euro but they will loss super sub players success replacing well Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland position when both players getting injury. Still waiting with Pep Guardiola decision keep stay him or let Julian Alvarez join with PSG for next season.

Not satisfied with the performance of coach Francesco Farioli, this forced Nice to fire him and they got a replacement, namely Frank Haise. I think this change in coach will have quite a significant impact on Nice next season, especially since this season they only finished in 5th position and failed to secure a place in the Champions League.

Frank Haise himself had previously been Lens coach since the 19/20 season and it seems that Lens did not renew his contract so Nice took advantage of this opportunity to recruit him. It is possible that Nice will put their trust in him to be able to bring Nice to compete again with other teams in the top flight next season.

Did you read the transfer fee from Julian Alvarez? in the picture it is explained as 96 million euros, in my opinion that is a big number for a player who often plays as a reserve, but it cannot be denied that even though he is not the first choice at City, his performance is very good and at City this season he is in second place as a players who make assist after KDB and also because PSG is a rich club of course that is not a problem and if everything goes smoothly Alvarez will soon join PSG.
Getting Alvarez would be one of the best transfers for PSG seeing that this player is quite stable and also far from injury and PSG will still perform well in Ligue 1 but for the Champions League maybe they will still be the doubters for a surprising performance.

Shocking news came from Reims, which is mid-sized Ligue 1 team, they are reportedly looking for new coach and several rumors circulating state that Reims is interested in bringing in Ancelotti son to become coach there.
Davide really has the potential to be able to lead Reims to become stronger team, he has quite good experience, even as an assistant coach for his father, Davide can have various strategies and also ways to build team competitively.
Maybe this could be good step for Reims but it also doesn't guarantee success in the near future, it just that seeing how his career in the world of football has gone, it will make it very possible for Davide to become great coach in the future.

But for now I have not found clarity on this rumor, maybe in the future everything will be clear how Reims will be able to get new coach for next season.
If it really happens that Davide can be brought in as Reims coach then that will be very positive thing for Reims development over the next few season.

PSG top goal is winning the UEFA Champions League title but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Don't forget that Paris Saint-Germain will stand tall without their most valuable player. They're balance when it come to finance, and having a possible path to bring in stellar performance. PSG will do well without Kylian Mbappe and we should simply watch how they will become stable and upright in their game results.

PSG still has various other talented players, but it's just that they're not as skilled as Mbappe. So, actually PSG won't collapse so much in the absence of Mbappe. especially in the French league, it is clear that PSG will continue to dominate and have not been defeated. It's just that, to compete in the UCL, maybe they really have to try harder.

Oh yes, it seems like a few days ago, Enrique said that he prefers to focus on the fans that PSG currently has. However, recently, PSG has also been linked with several other top players, one of which is Alvarez from Man City, who is rumored to be being targeted by Chelsea.

And this is the good news about PSG wants Alvarez to join PSG.

PSG will only rely on luck if they appear in the Champions League to reach the final round without Mbappe and if that happens, it will only be a big surprise for PSG, but also we should not underestimate clubs like this because not only in the Champions League but PSG can try to win a title at UEL to gain experience in the final round and at least the players can be prepared to appear in the final round of this big competition.
Competition is not just about the champions league and if it is difficult for PSG to achieve a title in the champions league there should be other alternatives to get a title that is easier to obtain but also something to be proud of.
PSG's ambitions may be too high to pursue the Champions League title because they feel that this club is able to win the title in this competition just because it has star players and always dominates League 1, while PSG players are not ready to compete in the Champions League.

The league 1 title is like PSG's food every season without us worrying that PSG will still dominate league 1, but after Mbappe's departure I actually want that dominance to be broken by another club like Monaco so that league 1 is not so boring.

With the presence or absence of Mbappe in the PSG squad in the end, it is still PSG who are indeed difficult to touch when talking about Ligue 1  But the difference is that their chances are indeed getting slimmer when talking about performance problems in the Champions League because indeed with the loss of Mbappe who has always been the backbone indirectly this also makes most of their probabilities for big competitions in the Champions League disappear .

But when talking about Ligue 1 then they will still be the same where they will be the best club with resources that cannot be pursued by other clubs.
Although their productivity may be reduced in terms of goals but in terms of performance it is unlikely to change much because in this case we must be aware that other clubs in Ligue 1 only always compete for second place but for the top of the table PSG is always in control.
Its just that if this season there is a new champion then Mbappe's absence at PSG is clearly very significant even though I'm not sure anyone can win other than PSG .

PSG will still be higher in terms of squad quality, I'm sure of that. For PSG, the French league is and will continue to be a league cup that can simply be won. They will probably add important names to the team instead of Mbappe this summer and try to fill this gap. I believe that the dominance of the league will be in their hands again. PSG won't have achieved their goals unless they win UCL

Obviously if he was appropriated well enough I'm of the opinion that he will most likely not want to leave the team just like that, he would have loved to extend his contract maybe, he's been in Napoli for two seasons an a season more wouldn't do much but then it's obvious he's not appropriated well enough so he has to make a move to a place where he will be appreciated even more when he's gets to show his good performance.

Asides Napoli I believe there are other teams where osimhen can literally go to and become a very good assets to them just like he has been all these times in Napoli, PSG appears to be a prospective place where he can get to go and show his brilliance, the even have a very good champions league appearance record which could mean a chance at an attempt to the trophy in any of the seasons, the challenge he will be having at PSG will be assit, he may not be getting the perfect kind of assist that can help him deliver as a striker, even with mbappe , he did all most of the job to get a goal.

Osimhen isn't a dull player, he's very energetic and does go after r he Ball to the point he has the ability to even create chances for himself in the games but then for games like the champions league, he will not be able to do it alone, he's going to need the assist and the help of his team mates if he will be optimal but then there have been no announcement of a deal yet at PSG so let's wait till there's any then we can make speculations around it.
