Maybe I wouldn't agree if PSG had plans to bring in star players or professional players like before even though PSG was able to spend large amounts of money, but I would agree more if PSG spent large amounts of money to bring in young talents who had reliable talents who could be used as players in the long term.
Developing young players to become very reliable players will provide benefits for the club, for example, when PSG is able to develop reliable young players, the club will definitely get the title they want because these young players already know what to do when joining PSG and this is an alternative which is simple and more promising than bringing in professional players at high prices but not getting what you want.

PSG must learn from previous problems and do not need to make the same mistakes.
It's time for PSG to rise up with young, reliable players.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that anyone who actually do think that Luis Enrique will not further improve the performance of Paris Saint Germaine either doesn't know much about the Spanish manager or some kind of hater of Enrique. For people who know Luis Enrique right from his days at Barcelona where he helped the club win the treble in one season, I don't they'll ever doubt his ability to deliver with any team he manages. Though his stint with the Spain national team didn't actually produce great results, I'm very optimistic that he'll do well with the current squad in his new club.
The departure of Kylian Mbappe will without doubt affect the performance of the club because of how big of a figure he was at the club but I think Enrique will definitely find solution to that. Paris Saint Germaine is yet to make any significant signing to replace Kylian Mbappe but I think they'll definitely do that before the end of the summer transfer window. A lot players have been linked to the club but none of them is confirmed yet. I believe in Luis Enrique and his capabilities and hopefully, he's not gonna fail.

Maybe some people will be against me but feel sorry for Greenwood. He is a young and good player but just because being under investigation in England he is far from what he has to be. We don't know whether Greenwood was guilty or not but still, he is paying the price in his career.
Greenwood had a good performance in Getafe and they wanted to keep him there and now he is going to play on loan for Marseille while he could have much better destinations than a team like Marseille.  
 

Losing Mbappe is no different from Barcelona losing Messi before, but the difference is that Barcelona can actually recover more quickly considering that so far Barcelona has prioritized teamwork even though Messi is Barcelona mainstay on the front lines, so losing Mbappe will not make PSG difficult for rise but not as quickly as what happened to Barcelona, ​​because previously PSG tended to be more dependent on Mbappe so far, so like it or not, Enrique has to be able to get rid of that dependence next season so that their can rise again.
Strong finances make it easier for a team to gather star players, but this does not guarantee that they can unite as a team because it has been difficult to unite the egos of star players so far and we have seen this happen at PSG when Messi, mbappe and neymar played together before.
Whether Mbappe is there or not will not be different for PSG so far, they will continue to have difficulty winning the Champions League even though their main squad is filled with star players, unless Enrique succeeds in changing PSG's playing pattern to play more collectively and also improve the mentality they have had so far.

You speak on PSG's "resilience" in Ligue 1 without Mbappé. In a league they already own, PSG become a predictable team without Mbappé's electrifying pace and finishing. It like viewing a highlight reel without of the highlights. PSG's Champions League failures aren't about missing a single player, it's about lacking a cohesive game plan. It like having a squad of all-stars unable of playing together. There's more to Luis Enrique's problem than buying a star striker. Will PSG so at last get their act together or collapse under pressure? Honestly, who knows? One thing is certain, though: throwing money at the issue won't help. It's about strategy, teamwork, and a lot of guts generally

Yea, what you said is through, mbappe backing out of PSG has created a vacuum that has to replaced urgently, although PSG is an inconsistent football club of its own and now that mbappe is known longer in the team this portrays more problem for the entire team, there is know how his absence will not be felt but the club management needs to sort out this very fast to avoid regret, getting a good replacement as you said is now, for me PSG matches so not interest me because of their pattern of football, they are very unpredictable, when you expect them to win they will lose or even play unexpected draw, I think what that team needs is total overhauling to enable them to get the much anticipated result, as next season is coming close, the .management should get good signings to avoid the repetition of what happened to them in the champions league last season.

Not so bad actually. When viewed from productivity, they have scored more goals than conceded. 11 defeats from 34 matches are not bad either. If they want to compete, of course the improvement of players in the transfer market is a great opportunity. If you compare it with 22/23, it is indeed very far. Lens ended up at number 2 and this year they dropped far at number 7. If you look at the classmate table, Ligue 1 always changes a lot every season, only PSG is able to continue to be on top.

So far Lens have not made any moves in the summer and it is important to remember that last season they only finished in seventh place in the standings. Indeed, that is far from their desired target considering that previously they managed to penetrate the Champions League zone. I think if Lens still maintains their current squad and is reluctant to add player ammunition then they will not be able to compete with other teams.

Maybe Lens could look for a new defender option considering that they lost 11 times last season, causing them to often lose points. On the other hand, they need to increase the effectiveness of their attacks considering that their win rate is starting to decline. So here they have to add defenders and strikers to be able to correct this deficiency.

Good point you make, they need to have a new identity after losing several star players. To be honest, I'm more waiting to see them regenerate rather than continuing to bring in star players. Because up to now, based on their knowledge, the fact is that they have not been able to get the title they have always wanted. That means they have to look for new ways to achieve what they want.
There are many things they can do, one of which is by regenerating which until now I have not seen them do that. It may take a long time for them to achieve success if they regenerate, but another thing they can get is that they will be more solid in the long term. Compared to now, they feel difficulties if their valuable players decide to leave. Not to mention they will spend a lot of money every time they bring in a star player. Even though they are very capable, at least they have to think about things that can make them solid for a long time.

Apart from what you said, I think we also shouldn't directly say about a setback for the PSG team because that hasn't happened after Mbappe left for Real Madrid. Because PSG still has time to think in order not to experience a setback in its performance next season and apart from that, I also agree with what you said, PSG can still dominate Ligue 1 even though Mbappe is no longer in their squad next season. However, I also hope that other teams can take the opportunity to move better in order to match PSG's strength in Ligue1 next season so that Ligue1 looks more competitive than last season.

However, from several rumors that previously circulated about Mason Greenwood's move to the Marseille squad, it was only loan and now I have found news again that Mason Greenwood will fail in his agreement with Marseille.
I don't know what actually happened this time, but when I tried to find out in more detail, it was clear that there was chance that the agreement with Marseille would fail because of protests that again linked the case previously carried out by Mason Greenwood.
For now I still following developments and if failure really occurs it will probably be the same as before where the Serie A team Lazio and Juventus will try again to get Mason Greenwood, this looks increasingly complicated but I sure because Mason Greenwood performance is quite good and still young there will definitely be the right solution.

We see in the future whether Mason Greenwood will be able to resolve this drama related to the transfer agreement with Marseille or if there is failure and he will play for another team in the future.

They have done that, they are not even half-hearted, they are willing to spend a lot of money when they bring in 3 well-known players on the front line, but the result is still the same, they never get the Champions League title. Will Paris Saint Germain go back to doing the same thing they have done in the past and failed to give them the achievement they have been waiting for?
They are very capable of digging very deep into their pockets, because they have a lot of money at the moment. But the question is how effective would it be if they did it? Because as said, if only to dominate Ligue 1, what they have now, in my opinion, is enough to make them achieve.

Several times ago i was looking for the news about Lyon manager Pierre Sage because after his contract ended this season i think he deserved to gets new contract and under him Lyon progress is really fantastic that within months he can lifted up Lyon position from relegation zone to European zone or top 6 and recently i have read the news that Lyon has give 2 years contract extension for Pierre Sage so if he can stayed according to his contract then Pierre Sage will be at Lyon until 2026 and i think this is good news because i am confident Lyon will performing well under him next season

Lyon so far was quite active this summer because they have already to buy some players which mostly some of defender players such as Duje Caleta-Car, Abner Vinícius and Moussa Niakhate and i can see it that one of the weaknesses Lyon is their defensive lines because they have conceded 55 goals during this season so Pierre Sage want to more concern about these lines besides those players above Lyon also has successfully to permanent Mama Balde status from Troyes and after seeing their behavior i am quite excited to see Lyon performance next season because they potentially can fight to compete for champion league zone or top 4

As far as club football is concerned and considering the quality of players in all the French clubs, Paris Saint Germaine will remain the best performing French club with or without Kylian Mbappe and that's why I have this strong feeling that the departure of the France international isn't gonna stop the club from dominating French football. Since it was confirmed that Kylian Mbappe was going to leave Paris Saint Germaine, a lot of people have been curious to know if they'll get a good replacement for him but with or without a new significant addition this summer, I still expect the French champions to still retain the French league title with their current squad. The only problem I think the club have with the departure of Kylian Mbappe is how they'll perform in Europe which is why they'll need to sign a striker that can score many goals.

Enrique definitely has the ambition to recruit a replacement for Mbappe who moved to Madrid, and to be honest PSG really needs a quality striker to compete in the Champions League. Currently, PSG chances of winning the Champions League trophy are still considered very low, where there are a number of clubs that have more ideal squads, such as Madrid, City or Bayern. However, with their financial strength, PSG can maintain their hopes for the future if they continue to invest in potential young players. Enrique better start with a new way, who knows without a star player they will be lucky.

Meanwhile in Ligue 1, PSG opportunity to continue to dominate the competition is very large, where no other contestants have financial equivalents to them. The gap in strength is still very visible, no team has yet to seriously challenge PSG, Enrique's fleet is even believed to be able to win the trophy despite experiencing setbacks after Mbappe departure. We can only hope that there is a team that can suppress PSG in Ligue 1, so that it can make the competition for trophies more competitive. So far, Ligue 1 is like the Farmers League, its attraction lies only in PSG.

Talking about Mbappe's absence, it will only affect the team's performance in the Champions League not in League One.
PSG will remain the best team in League One because I don't think there is any other team in the tournament that comes close to them in terms of performance since they have been dominating the League One for a long even when Mbappe and other star players are injured.

Since the team has money, they should give Luis Enrique some money to shop for more players that can help the team achieve their main aim which winning the Champions League; if they don't add some quality players, they will do well in the League one, but can fail when it comes to Champions League.

I don’t particularly think that without Mbappe, PSG will face hardships. At least not in Ligue 1. Football is not played by 1vs11, rather it's a team game. Yes, it can be argued that Barca became arguably worse after Messi's departure but they weren't really that good when he left.

If you talk about PSG, they have good finances, a solid coach, and a decent amount of players in the club still. If they play their cards right, they can still dominate the Ligue 1.

About the UCL, Luis Enrique would need good reinforcements, as they couldn’t win it even with Mbappe. He needs to sign a proper striker and then need to balance out the whole squad, and if they do that, they might do well in the knockouts.

Enrique must be able to bring PSG even better next season even though they no longer have Mbappe in the squad,  Enrique is a very experienced coach and we can even see his achievements when he previously  him coached Spain and Barcelona, ​​but even so, Enrique must get full support from PSG is currently completely overhauling their squad in order to be able to compete in the Champions League next season, I think PSG main goal at the moment is only the Champions League and Enrique certainly has everything he needs to be able to give PSG that the trophy next season, I think PSG will continue to support Enrique with quite a large amount of funds in order to be able to bring in lots of good players, but if he only succeeds in winning the Ligue 1 trophy next season but fails to win the Champions League then it is certain that he will be fired.

Losing Mbappe shouldn't make PSG lose strength as a team, although perhaps Mbappe's departure will leave a little gap, but I don't think it's difficult for PSG to close that gap if they can bring in another striker next season, currently Enrique has entered his final year with PSG as coach, so he should be able to maximize the PSG squad next season to be able to win the Champions League trophy, so it is very likely that PSG will give him a new contract as their coach.

Yes, I really understand the pressure that Enrique is experiencing right now, it is not easy to go through, but I believe that he can become a coach that all PSG fans will be proud of because he is one of the coaches who has always dared to speculate about playing PSG without Mbappe before and in this way Enrique was able to measure how strong PSG's performance will be without Mbappe.
After everything was answered, Enrique knew several things he had to do to build a stronger club by bringing in more reliable midfielders.

By bringing in several new midfielders, this is one of Luis Enrique's strategies to help the attacking players be more aggressive because the PSG coach is aware that without Mbappe, the strongest club in League 1 must have the right alternative to be able to maintain performance even without star players.

In fact, when Ronaldo was at Real Madrid and Messi at Barcelona they were basically old, so the team could regenerate players. But regarding Mbappe this is different, because Mbappe is still young and PSG is also not regenerating players and thus, losing Mbappe will really have a big impact on PSG's performance. After all, when Ronaldo left Real Madrid, Real Madrid still had other great players, which made Benzema shine after Ronaldo left. However, regarding Messi at Barcelona, ​​as far as I remember, Barcelona did not regenerate players, so their performance continued to get worse, especially regarding their financial problems.

So yes, I think this case has differences and cannot be compared between them, because even though PSG lost Mbappe, but PSG is a team that has good finances. But despite this, it is still difficult for PSG to improve the quality of the team, especially to compete in the Champions League. But yes, because Mbappe has a big influence on the success of the PSG team, then with Mbappe departure will also make it seem like it will be difficult for PSG to dominate Ligue 1 like before.
