Talking about Lyon it seems to make even a little change in this team and cost a lot. Lyon was a good team in the past years but recently they were not in the good form and Lyon was seen about to get relegated during this season until the half of the season when they made some changes and they finally saved Lyon from getting relegated in this season but still this won't be a good reason to say Lyon is safe and they obviously need to make the team improved for the next season.

Yamal could be their future, of course selling him would be great if they could find a free transfer that would be equally good but they can't. So if they sell him, for lets say 200+ million euro (which I think PSG will not do that officially) then I think Barcelona would not be able to pay their debt with that, that's the issue.

I do not trust that management, because even if you give them a billion dollars, it doesn't look like they will be debt free right away, they will first look at players to buy. They have not made the team any better by firing Xavi neither, he was the one that gave Yamal time when he is only 16 years old and this kid is now playing at euros for Spain. The reality is that Barcelona is mismanaged and there is no getting better unless they change the president and his squad.

Luis Enrique and PSG are still looking for the right player at the moment to fill the position left by Mbappe, although there is a lot of speculation that continues to link them with several players, but so far there has been no official and reliable confirmation that they will get the player, I think for now maybe Luis Enrique and PSG are monitoring the talent of young talent in the euro to become their new recruits later.

If the PSG team does not immediately do this this summer through the transfer market, of course there is a possibility that PSG will not get that opportunity again as the new season approaches. Because after all, any team that has lost a key player will certainly be a very hard blow for the team if the team does not get a more suitable replacement this summer. So it is not surprising that PSG immediately moved quickly to get other key players in order to bring them into the PSG team before the new season started.

Barcelona are now in a financial crisis. So selling Yamal at a higher price would have benefited Barcelona. But Hansi Flick did not do this. And I think Hansi Flick is fully prepared to work with the youth of Barcelona next season. And he is preparing to build a squad based on youth. Barcelona have a lot of talented young players right now. However, there are very few experienced players in the squad. Now Hansi Flick has to try to extract the best effort from these young players.

Luis Enrique is yet to find a suitable replacement for Mbappe. I thought PSG management would add Osimhen to the squad as a replacement for Mbappe. But at the moment it seems very unlikely to me. PSG will not be able to do well in the Champions League next season if they do not find a suitable replacement for Mbappe.

Barcelona should have accepted the offer to sell Yamal at a high price to PSG, but it all comes back to their management's decision, it seems that Hansi Flick also wants Yamal to be in the main squad to play in the new season, the tight competition in Laliga will certainly be difficult because facing Madrid will of course be a little more complicated than before because Mbappe is there, but if Yamal is successfully sold of course it will help Barcelona's financial crisis and Barcelona can buy new players to fill the main squad, it seems that Yamal is more appropriate to replace Mbappe's position at PSG previously compared to other players.

Barcelona faces defeat, so what do they do? The try to steal their best kid. Classic PSG, right? Mbappé skipping town may be beneficial. Consider the huge amount of money freed up to invest in emerging talent like Lamine Yamal. He's promising, but he's still green. Test his PSG pressure cooker skills. He may not flop, but it's a gamble

Barcelona's break was rough. It's like selling your grandmother's jewellery to pay the bills. I suppose this forces them to be innovative. Instead of signing big-money players, cultivate their own talent. A wake-up call is sometimes what a team needs

In addition to rashford, it is reported that PSG is also targeting Yamal as a replacement for Mbappe who this season left for Madrid, with the quality and also the ability of Lamine Yamal, of course he can be the ideal figure to replace Mbappe position in the attacking line, previously PSG bid Lamine Yamal for 200 million euros and currently they are coming back by offering greater money to Barcelona,  So I think Barcelona should be able to accept the money and make a deal happen to stabilize their current financial now.

Manchester United will not released their key players this summer because Erik Ten Hag is working towards accomplishing top goals foe the club, he needs all the necessary players at his usage because he's planning tactical formation for next season. Whereas Paris Saint-Germain have missed out on one of their most valuable player, Kylian Mbappe and we know it will be a big loss for them. However the coach didn't panic and went straight ahead to make more promising signings and bringing on star players in football transfer summer.

I was looking for the news about Lyon manager Pierre Sage because i still don't know whether Lyon will be extended his contract or not and according to transfermark his contract have already expired yesterday but i couldn't find any exact information his contract renew or not and i think besides recruit new players give Pierre Sage new contract is the most important because Lyon under Pierre Sage has rapid progress and within months he can successfully to lifted up Lyon position from relegation zone to European zone which for me this achievement is very fantastic so Pierre Sage is really deserved new contract

About Said Benrahma Lyon was loan him from West Ham this January and his performance is very impressive because just like you said he was played 12 times in Ligue 1 and scores 3 goals and Said Benrahma also was help Lyon to occupy 6th place so i think Lyon decision to permanent Said Benrahma is very good decision but regarding Lyon chances to became an the contender with PSG for race title i think it's quite hard considering Lyon status only as small team in Ligue 1 so almost impossible to fight for race title with PSG

I understand that last season PSG often brought in star players and that was all because the PSG president wanted something big to get quickly in one season but that was a very wrong thing because if a team wants to be successful it should improve the team's performance slowly by building the club with players young people who have long-term careers.
Now it depends on Nasser Al-Khelaifi whether he will remain ambitious with previous mistakes or choose to make big changes as you say.

Yes, as I said before, this is all about the amount of money being offered and also the PSG president's desire to think about the club's future with young players like Lamine Yamal or young players from other clubs who have higher quality talent.
It is true that Barca can always get young players from the academy, but not all young players always have success and maybe Barca will also think again about Ansu Fati's failure.

Rumours are strong part of the every transfer window with in this season we are having no enough things for the media but still many are trying to create hype about few players with currently we are having about Marcus Rashford and then Victor Osimhen both are targets of the PSG, but things are not clear as mostly players are having their all focus on Euro 2024, so things could be clear after this event even Rashford is not doing good at the Manchester United but still he is important part of their squad but now Eric ten Hag is trying to offload this is important with if this happens surely things could be good for the PSG.

Manchester United has never been easy place for the players with things have never been ideal for many top quality players but usually after leaving this club they are having good change of fortune and performance as well which will help them for having good development.

Lyon took out a player loan from West Ham at the beginning of January this year and finally they had the courage to make Benrahma permanent from West Ham for a fee of 14 million euros. Of course, Lyon is very confident in Benrahma's performance until he finally made this decision. Statistics show that last season Benrahma scored 3 goals and 3 assists and I think those are not bad statistics for a player who has just joined.

Lyon certainly wants to immediately return to the Ligue One title competition and does not want to continue making mistakes like before. However, even so, Lyon also has to focus on bringing in other players, especially for the defender or goalkeeper positions which they feel are not very good at the moment. I miss how Lyon could be like the past where even PSG didn't have the control to stop them and I think if management uses transfer funds well then they can get the right players for the club.

This is still a rumor, but it is not impossible that this will actually happen, Manchester United reached an agreement with Paris Saint Germain regarding the transfer of Rashford. But the problem is who will replace Rashford at Manchester United? because up to now their game is still unpredictable, so they probably won't take the risk of selling one of the players who makes a big contribution to the team's game.
Also, I haven't heard much about Manchester United's movements in the transfer market or maybe they are careful in targeting players. Manchester United itself has quite complicated problems, not only with their players, but it seems chaotic within the management body.
If in the end Rashford really leaves, then they are taking a big risk on the front lines. The reason is that it will not be easy for them to find players who can replace their position very well, or at least be at the same level.

In fact, I see that it is likely that rashford to PSG is very wide open at the moment, PSG only needs to activate the release clause that rashford currently has at Manchester United, besides that I think with the lack of playing opportunities that rashford currently gets, of course he does want to leave later even though he has not revealed it to the public, rashford is of course one of the good strikers but without a guarantee of playing, of course, it will only make his career run in place later so indeed receiving an offer from PSG is the right choice for him to be able to get a guarantee to play and also return to the England national team later, currently Rashford is of course in a difficult condition after no longer getting a place at Manchester United because as a player who has Loyalty to Manchester United, of course, leaving and staying at the moment is a difficult choice for him.

Manchester United is currently in need of a lot of money to fix their squad next season, so the only way is to sell some players to be able to get the money they need to buy new players, besides that the possibility of Rashford moving to PSG can of course happen, if PSG put forward conditions for Manchester United who are also interested in bringing in PSG talented young midfielder,  Manuel Ugarte, so I think maybe PSG will try to make a swap between Rashford and Manuel Ugarte later.

PSG targeting Barca's young star Yamal? Thats not just a move, its a message. They've been buying up big names like they're going out of style, and whats it got them? No Champions League titles. They may be realising that dynasties are built, not bought. And Yamal is a building block, potential superstar.

Yamal's departure would hurt, but Barca has La Masia. They produce world-class players for decades. They can replace anyone. Moreover, a large PSG offer may be just what they need to recover financially. Dont cry in your wine, people. Instead, lets look at the good things. This could stir PSG up and give them a chance to develop something real. Barca might cash in and reestablish their dynasty.
