But has Goncalo Ramos shown that he can match the playing skills and great achievements that Mbappe has brought to PSG?
I not sure that Goncalo Ramos will really be able to replace Mbappe and of course this would be an ambiguous decision if we really had high hopes for Goncalo Ramos to be able to fill the void and play as Mbappe replacement next season.
Indeed, I admit that Goncalo Ramos is also young and talented player, he has shown his contribution as an attacking player is also quite good, but this will not provide guarantee that he can and deserves to be called replacement for Mbappe.
It not just goals and assists to be able to replace Mbappe, there are several other factors that other players, including Goncalo Ramos, can't have, do you remember what Enrique said during the interview session asking about Mbappe replacement.

If Ganasalo Ramos comes in to fill Mbappe's place at PSG, his skills and experience would make the team look much stronger. I believe if he plays in Mbappe's place PSG can definitely be a bit fuller. Mbappé is the most brilliant and young player in the poison zone at PSG, for whom the team has come a long way and is in a good place. However, PSC will have to look for two options as the next season is about to start so they need to take some good decisions now either to find a good star or to make the players work better. If they can't play the game well, without Mbappe from next season, surely PSG will fall behind and their game will not improve. That's why the manager has to take good initiatives in advance and give more importance to the players who are there. Moreover, if good stars can't perform and stay in their team, then maybe the next season will be very difficult for them to win the championship.

It's stupid if PSG pushes for osimhen from napoli. It is better for them to locate a substitute for Osimhen caused by there is a lot of available strikers to be bought. What about buying lukaku from chelsea. Guirassy is also a viable alternative to the osimhen. PSG has more than enough to win the next season. Enrique may not be in a rush to get the new players.
There are so many amazing players on the market. I'd call it if PSG is crazy enough to sign Osimhen from Napoli. Napoli is not even willing to sell him at a low price. I'd rather get another player than osimhen.

Even Antonio Conte, Napoli's new manager, may want to replace Osimhen. Let Osimhen try to depart by himself. It will fuckin enable him to join another squad with less money needed, as Napoli may also be interested in offering him money.
Napoli is now preparing for the next season. The club has been ready for something major to happen.

It is wiser for PSG to recruit a quality player who is less expensive than him. No assurance that Osimhen will play as well as he did at Napoli.

For some reason, I actually firmly believe that Mbappé leaving PSG is probably one of the best things if not the best thing that has happened to PSG. We all know that he was not playing to make PSG a great team. He was in PSG for the money and the influence. I would not be surprised if Macron had actually offered him half of France and the Eiffel Tower to stay in the PSG team  .

But he finally did choose Real Madrid which he should have done ages ago. What I found to be a little amazing he attracts PSG to get more money out. And he just got away with it like that. The only thing he probably suffered is not getting as much salary as he could have gotten if he went to Real Madrid earlier. Remember when Real Madrid offered 220 million for him? He could have gotten more salary at that time in Real Madrid compared to what he is getting right now. But we all know that can be fixed at any time with a new contract.

Why I say it is a good thing for PSC because they will not have to build a team around someone who does not want to play for themselves in the first place.

The competition to get Oismhen seems to be getting more difficult, now Arsenal are reportedly also interested in recruiting the Napoli striker, but financially PSG could offer a higher price to win the competition. Meanwhile, even though Osimhen performance this season has declined slightly due to injury, the Nigerian player will still be the hottest property in the upcoming transfer window. Enrique certainly needs a new player, although it doesn't have to be Osimhen, so that he can maintain their bargaining power in the Champions League. For domestic competitions, I predict that PSG will not have any significant obstacles even if Mbappe is left.

The number of goal productivity really depends on the support of other players, as well as how fast the adaptation process is, I don't think Osimhen will have any difficulty adapting to Ligue 1. We'll see whether Enrique wants Osimhen in his team next season or will use the existing players. It could be that PSG management will change their transfer style, no longer wanting to waste their budget on recruiting expensive players. In the last few seasons PSG have built a luxurious squad, but still failed to win the Champions League.

Coming to a perfect distinction for which will be seen as proper to distinguish a player from another is something that may never be really achieved if we choose to ply the path of player comparison especially in cases such as this, osimhen at Napoli and mbappe at PSG, for me are like two different worlds apart, we may want to say they are still in Europe but these two players may be having different experience at a time.

Sometimes there mey be factors that may be playing out around a particular team that is providing a player with a particular edge up on which they strive while with another, it may be them having to strive all alone and sometimes be the one upon which the team depends and in both scenero, you will agree with me that both players have been of Great benefits and importance to their teams in their own capacity, in my personal opinion, mbappe have been loved at PSG and give all the support to thrive but it's not absolutely same with osimhen at Napoli.

In the first season when osimhen help Napoli win a trophy , he was see as a god, he was loved and was really admired by most of the fans and even the team, this season that just ended, it happened that an issuee came up that affects osimhens performance which led him almost leaving before the end of the season but on a second taught he stayed till the end of the season but then the enabling environment to thrive wasn't there anymore. Conclusively he could be a good replacement for mbappe if he gets to PSG and he's provided with the environment that supports him to thrive there.

PSG need to make more bigger transfer players after leaving by Mbappe because keep dominance in Ligue 1 seems still possibilities but get difficult with their appearance in UEFA Champion League competition. Victor Osimhen is the only one players linked will replace Mbappe position but recently Luis Henrique as PSG manager not announce yet will sign him or not.
For transfer fees above 130 to 150 million euro is not big problem for PSG because they have support with financial but not easy to find replacement for Mbappe position because he has consistent perform with PSG become top scorer in domestic league every season. I doubt Victor Osimhen will be success more than Mbappe if agree for joining with PSG on next season and not sure will score more goals than Mbappe when first appearance in Ligue 1?

Lille got a new coach, Bruno Genesio, which used to train Lyon until 2019 then Rennes.
It was announced that Paulo Fonseca quit the team after the end of his contract and he has intentions to return to Serie A and be the coach of AC Milan and took the place of Stefano Pioli.
Rennes this season wasn't top comparing to the previous one and the new coach has a clear objective since the beginning of the league and it is get a place in UEFA Champions League groups.

Honestly, I'm not sure if Goncalo Ramos is the type of player Luis Enrique wants. in fact, it seems likely that few players actually involved Enrique when signing him. maybe one of them is Dembelle, the rest is PSG themselves who bring in the players they want. In fact, Paris Saint-Germain has several young players who can be developed and relied on, but not quickly. but at least, after one season has passed. Both Goncalo Ramos and Kolo Muani know very well what the coach wants. After all, these two players have talents that can also develop further. plus, the two of them can exchange positions if Enrique rotates. There are also other young players who are quite energetic, who often trouble the opponent's defense line.

For me, the problem is with the midfielders and also some of the defensive players. I'm sure Enrique knows very well the strengths and weaknesses of his team. However, we don't yet know the newcomers that PSG will be targeting in this summer's transfer window. Mbappe has left, and Enrique is focusing on his team. There is something he can do with his young players, but it does not rule out the possibility that PSG will bring in a replacement candidate like Mbappe. Even though it is quite difficult to bring him, PSG can do it with the financial conditions they have. To be honest, I'm not too worried about Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 competition. However, if their target is the Champions League, then it is very important for them to recruit several experienced players to complete their team's squad for the new season.

I do agree that we are going to end up with a much greater and better result without a doubt, that seems like something that would make sense in the end. I do understand that we are going to see it change. This is why I believe that we are going to do better and fine, it is not going to be all that great.

I hope that things could change one way or another, shouldn't be all that complicated, we just need to make sure that we are not seeing Mbappe being a huge hole at PSG, because they haven't fixed it and even if you say it is too early, we haven't even heard any big rumours yet, nobody that could fill his place. I think they are going to get a lot worse if they do not get players that are amazing, and keep spending a lot of money on players that are overpriced.

I think, with the bad results that Napoli got does not make Osimhen also judged badly because after all, it seems that the problem is about their coach who is not right. Thus, then Napoli get bad results but with the bad results that Napoli get, I'm sure it's not just because of Osimhen's failure. So yes, if Napoli price Osimhen at that price I think it doesn't matter too much because anyway, of course there will also be negotiations that will occur until an agreement is made. Because I am sure, Osimhen is suitable to play at PSG because after all, Osimhen is also young and it will be good for the long term of PSG too. What's more, previously Chelsea had an interest in getting Osimhen, but it seems that lately Chelsea may have gotten other players and abandoned their intention to bring Osimhen.

Yes, dont panic. PSG isnt only Mbappe, a world-class player. With finances and appeal, they may recruit great talent. The club can demonstrate its stability. Its exciting to see how and who they hire. It could be pivotal. The team may improve or a new star develops. What about the UCL - thats the end goal? Missing Mbappe is a blow, but they can still contend. Perhaps it will make them play smarter and more strategically. Soccer is a team sport, and PSG has many outstanding players.

Whatever the price of a player, I think Paris Saint Germain will be able to pay it, because they have the money for that. But the question is whether Osimhen wants to join Paris Saint Germain? If he was thinking about his career then I don't think he would be willing to join Paris Saint Germain, but if he was thinking more about money then Paris Saint Grmain would be his choice.

Moreover, if he is more interested in Chelsea being his next destination, maybe he will prioritize the offer coming from Chelsea over the offer from Paris Saint Germain. However, this is just a rumor circulating. Because if you hear the news, Napoli themselves still want to keep OSimhen in the squad. It is also possible that their new coach will also include Osimhen's name in the game scenarios he will implement. Now the season has just ended, and there is still a long time to see how these rumors develop.

Osimhen last season was quite down compared to before and Osimhen is not a suitable replacement to replace Mbappe, especially at a fairly expensive price, and does not match his performance this season.
For PSG, of course money is not an obstacle for them, but they are also thinking about not wasting money on unreliable players, because Osimhen's performance has declined this season, it would be good for PSG to think about making an offer to Julián Álvarez because his performance was superior to Osimhen.

Gonçalo Ramos to replace Mbappe? I believe there is no way.    They are players who have quite different characteristics and skillsets. I don't think anyone will expect him to be like "the new Mbappe".

Mbappe has had a really special place at PSG. There wasn't any player like him. Now there are two options for PSG. One of them is to try to find a star player like him to maintain a similar game plan. The other one is to give bigger importance to team play by making next transfers according to that as well. Of course there could be another option like signing a star but not relying on him too much. I hope they ask Luis Enrique for next transfers too.

Gonçalo Ramos, who is on loan from Benfica, can of course be another option to replace Mbappe at PSG, but the question now is whether he will be able to answer all the challenges that exist and also the big expectations of PSG management later?
There is no doubt that he is a reliable striker even though it is difficult to speak English, but I think the responsibility that will be imposed on him is of course too big and I think he is not perfect to replace Mbappe as PSG mainstay, playing 29 times and scoring 11 goals is of course an extraordinary thing, but in some PSG games this season when Mbappe is absent he is often unable to be a differentiator in game and that's why he is always another option for Enrique when Mbappe is injured.

PSG borrowed Gonçalo Ramos from Benfica for 80 million euros and reportedly Benfica included a permanent purchase clause in the loan contract so that inevitably PSG had to tie the contract this season permanently, previously even PSG intended to sell Gonçalo Ramos but at that time no team was interested in bringing in, in my opinion, Gonçalo Ramos is a pretty good player but not yet able enough to replace Mbappe,  so it is indeed better for PSG to find another striker who is better than gambling by making Gonçalo Ramos the main striker nex season.

It's just speculation but I think Osimhen is the most viable option at the moment after they were left behind by Mbappe. PSG still dominates in Ligue 1 even without Mbappe, but at European level their strength will drop drastically. Mbappe really carried PSG. Osimhen has a release clause of €130m. That's a big price but It's not a problem for PSG. Unfortunately they had to release Mbappe on a free transfer. They should not have to pay €130m because Mbappe's market value is around €150m.

Everyone is too busy discussing Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG and discussing their concerns about who will replace Mbappe, whether it is Victor Osimhen or Kvaratskhelia.
Everyone forgets that in the previous season there were rumors that PSG would bring in a striker player on loan but it would definitely be permanent when Mbappe left and that was Gonçalo Ramos, who Enrique now believed could replace Kylian Mbappe.
Gonçalo Ramos managed to achieve 11 scores and 1 assist in League 1 which is proof that he is worthy of being a replacement for Kylian Mbappe in the coming season.

Then what will we think again about our worries?
Meanwhile, there is actually already a replacement for Mbappe who has now been made permanent in January 2024, are we still worried?

well, Lille's coach, Paulo Fonseca, is officially leaving Lille, in this season that recently ended, Lille managed to finish in position 4, surpassing Nice who were doing well since the beginning of the league until the middle of the league they were in second place, but Lille, which was not doing very well at the beginning of the league, managed to make a great recovery to the point of finishing in fourth place and very close to third place, there were only 2 points left and more goals for Lille to overcome the team who finished in third place and with that they went to the European champions league



Lille didn't get a place in the European Champions League, but they got a place in the European League, now my question is how will Lille do next season without Paulo Fonseca?

I hope that next season Lille won't make the same mistakes they made at the beginning of this season and will be able to achieve better results. In my opinion, the best results would be for them to qualify for the European Champions League. I haven't seen any big signings going to Lille yet, so I assume the squad won't change much

Yes, it's time for him to play to look for new experiences at a new club, after all he is still young so he needs a lot of experience playing at the best club, even better than PSG, at least he has played well at PSG so far even though he failed in the UCL hunt, of course his struggle during PSG deserves appreciation, the time is now for PSG to immediately look for a new striker to be able to replace Mbappe next season, Enrique must of course be able to find the right replacement for PSG's front line later.

I think he won't choose the wrong player and I'm waiting for who will replace Mbappe next season, I also haven't read more about PSG's preparations for next season, so far they have kept Mbappe there for a long time and in the end Mbappe finally found the right club. he has dreamed of it since he was little, whatever it is, Mbappe's decision is not wrong and PSG must support him. Hopefully PSG will not meet Madrid next season in the UCL match, but I believe that PSG will still dominate Ligue 1 even without Mbappe next season.
