But yes, I really hope that PSG will be better next season even without Mbappe because at least, losing a key team player so far will certainly result in a complete overhaul of the team. Of course, so that the team can play with the way the team works as a whole and not just rely on one player as has happened so far at PSG because they only rely on Mbappe. After all, basically Enrique is also a great coach who is no doubt because he has good qualities too and as such, it is of course hoped that Enrique can build this PSG team to be better like Pep Guardiola did at Manchester City. Even though it takes a long process, but if they have a big target with good financial support, then of course that target can eventually be realized.

Regarding PSG's dominance in League 1, I don't think Luis Enrique needs to worry too much even though Mbappe will leave for another team in a more different league. But Luis Enrique must also have time to think about who he will target in the next transfer window by preparing sufficient money. Because if the target is a player whose level is not much different from Mbappe, of course the costs that must be prepared are not small and I am sure that PSG has the ability to do that.

The Champions League is actually PSG top priority so far when recruiting the world's best players, but unfortunately every season they continue to fail and maybe even this season their fate will not be much different from the previous season, if indeed they only focus on Ligue 1 of course PSG management will not continue to spend large funds every season to strengthen the PSG squad,  Because without the best players in the squad, of course they still have the quality of players far above other teams in Ligue 1.

Osimhen and Rashford are indeed rumored to be targets for PSG for  replace Mbappe in the front line, but so far I don't think they have made a significant approach to bring in these two players except only rumours that continue to circulate without any official confirmation from PSG, regardless of whether all these rumors are true or not, but I think both players will suit PSG's style of play which has often counterattacked fast from both wings, besides that Osimhen who has ever played in Ligue 1 so far will certainly have no difficulty adapting to the atmosphere of Ligue 1 so I think he will quickly integrate into PSG game later.

I would say "far behind" is too much of a stretch. It's the fifth or the sixth biggest league in the world right now, or at least we can say Europe but that's basically the same thing. Doesn't mean that it's the best, obviously Premier league and La Liga and Bundesliga and Serie A are all better than Ligue one that is true, and eredevise is about the same level as Ligue one, so it's 5-6 range right now. But that is still quite good, it is still around the top level, being a top five is nothing short of amazing and should be considered great.

I understand that we are going to see something that means the world to them, and that could be a bit more important. I hope that it gets to become something that will be more deserving of their talents.

If Kylian Mbappe really leaves the Parc des Princess, PSG will do it to find a potential replacement player. although in fact, currently Luis Enrique is building a potential team according to the version and style of play he wants from his squad. To be honest, I haven't really followed developments surrounding football lately. So, I'm just following what you posted. Well, I think Luis Enrique has several potential players for his squad next summer. However, if it is true that Mbappe leaves the French League, they will automatically bring in another player as his replacement.

As for the two names you mentioned in this post, Marcus Rashford and Osimhem are potential candidates for Paris Saint-Germain. however, I really doubt that these two players are willing to join PSG, because these players are also in demand by other elite teams. So if Paris Saint-Germain wants one of the two players, PSG must be willing to spend large amounts of money to attract the interest of the player they are targeting. However, if I had to choose from one of these two players, Osimhen is a more worthy player for Paris Saint-Germain to fill in as a pure striker. As for the Lique 1 competition, it will be difficult for rival teams to break the dominance of this French League giant team.

 When a star leaves a particular club it’s quite painful and hard to always move on and especially get a replacement who would fit. What’s more painful is letting the star go for free and that means you’ll be on a loss getting a replacement. In every sphere of life getting a replacement for a quality product or person is usually very hard as you could go through crazy phases and yet still not get the right replacement. This is the case for PSG whom their star man Kylian is set to leave the club. Kylian has been forcing his way out for over 2 years now and though the club have managed to keep him on certain occasions but right now they’re no longer able to keep the young man as he’s set to achieving individual limelights to help his career and take on another level of greater challenge.

 PSG in a bid to replace him are set to raid Barcelona who are in need for money with some tempting offer for their winderkid, 16 year old Yamal. The offer of over 200m euro prepared by PSG is real mouth watering and very tempting especially to Barcelona who’re currently broke. Yes this deal will sure destroy the transfer market and make the valuation of players sly rocket again and we know that this isn’t good for football as clubs will now over price their players who won’t be able to even offer anything. Mbappe joined this club at a tender age and not to forget that it's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go.
 
 In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him. For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run. Good thing for him that Madrid are not really interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold.

Because PSG's strength is too significant compared to other teams, this is a reason for investors not to want to match it or a reason for other teams to be reluctant to make expensive squads to compete because the percentage they can compete with is very small with PSG which has everything.
And that is the reason why League 1 does not have fierce competition for PSG and makes this competition uncompetitive.

What happened in League 1 is actually not beneficial for PSG, because if the competition is not competitive it will be difficult for them to continue to develop and make this team stronger so that it can compete on the European stage, this is what PSG has experienced in the last few seasons.
In League 1 there is no impossible target for PSG and indeed this team is always built every season with the target of winning the Champions League, and that was never successful until last season.

PSG has won the most Ligue 1 titles and so far no team in the French league has won as many Ligue 1 titles as PSG. Besides winning the League One title, PSG has several other titles but their club does not have only the Champions League title to decorate.  

Although PSG is always the favorite team in the France League, PSG has not been able to benefit at all in the Champions League so far. PSG played in the final at one stage of the season while Neymar and Mbappe were at the club, but PSG lost the title to Bayern Munich during the coronavirus pandemic. PSG's highest achievement in the Champions League in one season is the final. Even if PSG can't achieve anything this season, there will be hope that PSG will definitely achieve something better in the next season

Enrique has projected that some players as a potential replacement for mbappe. Under Enrique, Mbappe is often used as a striker rather than a winger. PSG has had Barcola, who has been playing as a winger to replace Mbappe. PSG currently requires only a good striker or someone who can play as LW at the same time, and several players have been linked to the club but rashford has become the only worthy player to take this. I can't deny that Enrique has occasionally rotated the positions of his players. Like Mbappe, he alternated between playing as a striker and a winger depending on Enrioque's strategy used in any game. If Enrique uses only one striker up front and chooses to put Mbappe, the scheme differs from when Enrique uses three attackers.

Kolo Muani played as a central forward, Mbappe as a left winger, and barcola as right winger. So PSG is a very dynamic team with a lot of versatile players who can play multiple positions and it gives more advantages to the club to be even more flexible in using various strategy. It will not be easy for PSG to find a replacement for Mbappe soon.
I know which players have been linked to PSG to replace Mbappe, but I'm not satisfied with the list. I only saw Rashford as a worthy replacement for Mbappe because Ten Hag frequently used him as a winger or striker depending on the club's strategy.

The bad thing is manchester united or i said ten hag has refused PSG's interest in bringing rashford from united to join the PSG

If PSG's target is only Ligue 1, of course even without signings like Osimhen and Rashford they can still dominate the league. but if they are targeting something bigger like the Champions League, of course it will take a bigger effort to get a replacement for Mbappe. and it seems that currently what PSG is trying to do is bring in big-name European players.
Let's see how Mbappe gives his best performance for PSG this season. he will go and he will provide great memories for the fans.

PSG does need new players to replace Mbappe but they don't have to get players who have equivalent performance to Mbappe.
Now we can see that PSG doesn't have any problems winning the league 1 title even without Mbappe, PSG will still dominate league 1 just with the existing players and that's all because the players that PSG has are of higher quality compared to other teams.
Bringing in Rashford or Osimhen will not be that easy when Napoli and Manchester United are both in bad shape and need help from these reliable players to get good results in the next season.
I think PSG will not be able to get Rashford or Osimhen this season or may have other alternatives.

If we talk about the competitiveness of a league, Ligue One is still quite far behind other top European leagues. Here it is not very convincing because the rich people out there prefer to invest in clubs that have so many fans and maybe that is what makes other teams in Ligue One have no other strength to be able to compete with PSG.

On the other hand, PSG has everything from fans to a brand that is so strong that they are the only big team in France that has many fans outside of France. We often see this from several other big teams in other top European leagues who can always carry out marketing on target so that they have so many fans outside their region. So maybe we can't expect much from Ligue One because it doesn't have much weight for investors to invest here.

To win a battle, a team can not rely on attacking players, they must rely on their defensive players. Because if they have solid defense system, they can block opponents' attacks, avoid conceded goals and can wait for mistakes from opponents to have owned goals from opponents or score winning goals by themselves.

In many seasons, PSG created big differences but they wasted all big advantage and lost eventually. It is nothing more than terrible performances from their midfielders and defensive players who have main responsibility to secure their goalkeeper and secure big advantage they got.

They got conceded goals and hoped that three attacking players Neymar, Mbappe, Messi to score goals and cover their defensive mistakes, it's unfair and unrealistic. They win and lose as a team and it's bad to blame all bad and even shocked defeats on only three attacking players.

What you said is correct. However, another failure was not only the midfield players who were not good enough which made PSG fail in winning the UCL trophy, but because the three players such as Neymar, Mbappe and Messi did not have unity and all three of them had their own selfishness and the most selfish player was Mbappe. If a team does not have chemistry or cohesiveness, even though the team is filled with all its star players, it will still fail in the title race.

Apart from that, in my opinion PSG doesn't want a process, they want it to be instant, even though building a strong force requires a process. So it's Qatar Sports Investment's fault, why is it investing heavily in PSG, even though their league is clearly not competitive, the opponents every week are too easy, so it's not surprising that if they meet another team from a more competitive league, PSG always loses. . However, this season PSG seems to have changed after Enriqeu's arrival, at least PSG's game has started to find chemistry between its players.

It is reported that Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of this season and continue his career with Madrid next season, although we have not found certainty about the deal but it seems that the chance of Mbappe's move to Madrid is almost 90% going to happen, Mbappe's departure to Madrid certainly makes PSG must immediately get another star player who can replace Mbappe's role as the spearhead in PSG's front line later,  So far several names have been linked with PSG to succeed Mbappe next season.

Mbappe's role at PSG is of course very vital as a striker and leader, and it was even seen in PSG's last few games they struggled to win when mbappe was benched, this season is of course mbappe's last season in ligue 1, but if you say that PSG will experience a decline in performance in Ligue 1 without mbappe of course I disagree,  Indeed, we admit that Mbappe is an important player for PSG, but I think PSG will still be able to compete in Ligue 1 even without PSG, because Ligue 1 is not a competitive league at the moment, so PSG only needs to find one other player who will indeed be plotted as a replacement for Mbappe and of course PSG's dominance in Ligue1 will be maintained.

This season is Mbappe's last season at the PSG club so for this season PSG is still quite strong in competing with League 1 clubs because the gap in player quality has a big influence on the club's performance, next season no one knows because Mbappe is no longer at PSG and neither are we I know whether the players that PSG will recruit next season will have performance equivalent to Mbappe so that they can provide fierce competition against other League 1 clubs. But if PSG hasn't found suitable players, I think PSG will have a little difficulty in winning the League 1 title again because of the players PSG's star player is no longer there and Mbappe is the last star player that PSG has.

Indeed, PSG does not only rely on Mbappe, but Mbappe's role at the club is very influential and Mbappe is a player who has good speed, making it difficult for his opponents and he is also a productive striker that PSG has had so far. Without him PSG might lose its goal-scoring machine. PSG must really prepare a replacement for Mbappe next season and be an active striker so that PSG does not experience a significant decline in performance and PSG continues to dominate League 1.

What happen to PSG performance this season? They're not playing as if they're professional, more comparable to average teams. PSG have numerous players on their radar, they will not be sitting back and watching other elite teams taking over the transfer market without them been involved. PSG will never hold out but put themselves up and running. Luis Enrique have always implemented straight winning techniques for his team but he doesn't sit in the position of signing players, rather the team's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi have estimated capacity of making crucial signings on any player he picks interest.

That's right, Luis Enrique needs to recruit new players in the next transfer window to fill the positions left by Mbappe, Osimhen and Rahsford are worthy of being PSG main targets when the transfer window opens. Luis Enrique can update his strategy to suit the depth of the squad he has, of course it will take a little time to adapt. Meanwhile, PSG will continue to dominate Ligue 1 even though Mbappe officially leaves, they are too powerful for other teams.

Money can indeed play an important role for a club but on the other hand it also depends on the management and where the club comes from.
A simple example may be that at this time we can see that the role of money is quite important, especially when in Ligue 1 when PSG has very good resources in terms of finance even though the management of management is not very good but still they are still very dominating because they can buy players whose level is above other clubs for domestic competitions but something like this will only happen at the level of competition which is not too heavy and the atmosphere of the game is not too hard in terms of tension.
It will be very different if the resources used where the competition is very tight sometimes does not produce a good thing if their management is poor. Some clubs in the EPL are certainly suitable as examples in this case such as Chelsea or Newcastle because their resources are not lacking, it's just that poor management actually makes resources wasted so in this case I still feel that large finances sometimes do not guarantee if in the end they cannot manage this well.

Even Manchester City is currently a very good example of what you are trying to talk about, The smooth running of every club involves and hugely depends on funds, basically signing of new players into the club and sometimes signing of new managers. Even to pay players and coaches their weekly wages and allowance requires money. furthermore, we can testify a bit of transformation that has been recently experienced in the Saudi Arabia league, precisely Al Nassr who spent huge amount of money in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, since then, this club became a club of interest for both players and supporters of the club
