Today I decided to check the quotes for the title (in the hope that they are still better than a bank deposit, haha, just kidding):

Paris Saint Germain 1.01

Brest 49.98
As Monaco Fc 79.38
Lille 98.98
Nice 98.98

they are already much worse. Although there are 3 months left until the end of the championship, and PSG will become the official champion approximately 5-6 rounds before the end. If you think about it from this point of view, 1% for two months is very good, but in fact few people are interested.
The fight for the two remaining spots in the Champions League between four teams looks much more interesting. Brest is a logical favorite, but for some reason Monaco is rated better than Nice and Lille, which in my opinion is simply a reflection of the “strength” of the brand and not the real strength of the game.

Because indeed things like that cannot be denied even though there is a lot of speculation circulating at this time, in the end this is just a rumor as long as PSG, Madrid and also the party from Mbappe do not provide clarification about the current rumors so that this will not be completed and indeed we just have to continue to wait until the end of this season is finished.

As for the replacement problem PSG will definitely be prepared with it because they know their internals and until now it is not wrong if it still continues to make Osimhen a priority because after all he is currently one of the players who is suitable as an option but his future cannot be determined now because once again this will be a situation where clarity will be revealed separately at the end of the season.
As for Madrid's Galacticos, they have tried to discard that image but indeed if Mbappe comes to Madrid then indeed they are indirectly creating new galacticos with a very dangerous version of young players.

The average age of Madrid players is currently below 30 years but the performance they show is very terrible.

Mbappe, I think he will have relationship difficulties at Real Madrid, there he will not be the big star, but just one among other stars and will have to share all the attention and spotlight... All the strange behavior he had with PSG during the negotiations and everything he did with his PSG teammates. How will he deal with this? I'm even curious to see how his season in Spain unfolds.

PSG is able to dominate League 1 because of the contribution from Mbappe so that I will have the same opinion as you that PSG will begin to decrease its performance if it cannot find the right replacement to replace Mbappe and Mbappe departure from PSG can be said to be a big disaster.
maybe everything will change when joining Real Madrid but believe me mbappe is very selfish but if he thinks about his career he will definitely be a solid player to other players to create strong troops to win the prestigious title in the coming season.

maybe PSG will still be able to win the title in league 1, but that doesn't mean they can dominate again like when Mbappe was in the team.
and for Mbapp career if he is at Real Madrid I will never doubt it as long as he really moves to Madrid there will definitely be great support from other players because all Real Madrid players are famous for their very solid line up of players without any egotism and if they are used to Mbappe playing style with Real Madrid will definitely no longer be a selfish player.
most important thing right now that we have to wait for confirmation about Mbappe move to Real Madrid and don't let us speculate too far, in the end Mbappe failed to join Real Madrid again, ending up disappointing the supporters.

Marseille have finally decided to sack Gennaro Gattuso after the poor results they got in the league for six weeks in a row. Jean-Louis Gasset has been named as their new manager.  

Jean-Louis Gasset was Ivory Coast's manager before this job. Ivory Coast won the last AFCON title with him as well. After a great success his name must have come one step forward. He has a history with managing French teams before as well so maybe his period with Marseille would be better than Gattuso at least. Marseille really ned to be saved after dropping down to the ninth position in the standings.  

He is a very good striker and just shown that he is able to play well in Champions League by scoring an equalizer for Napoli against Barcelona. That goal is important for Napoli to keep up their chance in a second match even it will be a home-away match.

Vlahovic used to be considered as one of best strikers but a transfer from Fiorentina to Juventus caused some problems and he struggled to find his best there. Vlahovic has good free kick skill that is a plus against Osimhen but generally two strikers are not too different in quality. If PSG want to have a striker who can help them more in marketing and Tshirt sales, they will prioritize Vlahovic. If they only care about performances on field, they will see 50 - 50 chance to pick one of two strikers.

A better challenge is in the Premier League and it is clearly a better option for Osimhen if he is not so concerned about PSG's large salary. Because PSG will definitely find it difficult to get players if they only offer small salaries, especially since competition in matches in the French League is not as fierce compared to competition in the English League which is generally better. And with the quality that Osimhen has, of course I also agree more if he wants to go to the Premier League so he can meet some other great players like the ones you mentioned.

Victor Osimhen is an excellent player. Osimhen has the ability to score a lot of goals. He scored a lot of goals in Serie A last season. He scored 26 goals in 32 matches. Osimhen is in good form this season too. Osimhen scored against Barcelona in yesterday's match. If looked after properly and if Osimhen is used properly he can score more goals. PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. PSG will certainly benefit if Osimhen is added to the squad as Mbappe's replacement. I think PSG management is now looking at Osimhen and Vlahovic as Mbappe's replacement.

This has been discussed many times and once again we will not know how the future will turn out. Maybe Osimhen could come to PSG as long as he is promised various benefits while playing for the team in the capital of Paris and on the other hand he will be the next star after Mbappe leaves. But regarding career, don't expect Osimhen to be able to compete with other great players because it will be difficult for everyone to highlight players in a league that is not very competitive like Ligue One.

I think Osimhen already knows what he has to do between staying with the current situation at his club or going to the English Premier League. It is very difficult to find a replacement for Mbappe at PSG and I think this will be a difficult job for PSG if they still use the same concept as now in recruiting players. No matter how many players PSG gets, it will not change all the players' desire to stay longer because even star players like Mbappe realize that it is time to chase the title that he has been missing for so long.

Well, I also see it not from the club's side but from the player's side. Maybe in terms of salary, players who join Paris Saint Germain will get a fantastic salary, but for their career, I think Paris Saint Germain or Ligue 1 are not friendly to young players who have potential. very large. Don't misunderstand what I said, I don't mean to belittle Paris Saint Germain or Ligue 1 at all, but we can see and give our own assessment of how the competition is going here.

In my opinion, Osimhen deserves to be in a more competitive competition than being in Ligue 1, and La Liga or the English League could be an option for him. But I also haven't heard any further news about Napoli, whether they will keep this player or let him go and take advantage of the sale of Osimhen. Because Napoli themselves still need the presence of Osimhen, yes, even though his performance is declining now, this cannot be separated from the overall decline in the team as well. We can't blame just one player for this.

Paris Saint Germain itself is definitely racking its brains to find a player who can replace Mbappe if he really leaves the club next season. Yes, it is not an easy task for them, especially as we know they are dependent on Mbappe this season, which is actually not good for a club.

Yeah, there's no better option for him to play for other than Chelsea, he's said before that he'll love to play for Manchester United or Chelsea but right now, Chelsea amongst these two clubs above have been the only club to have shown genuine interest for the Nigerian international. Gladdens man to see him scoring the equalizer against Barcelona yesterday night after so much criticisms he's received during the African Cup of Nations.

Arsenal has also been reported to be interested in the Nigerian international, bit I don't know if he'll fancy the move that way.

Winning the Champions League and also the League Competition should be his number one priority right now, though I believe Paris Saint Germans can match whatever he wants amd he'd also give them his all if his teammates can just pass him the ball. Kylian Mbappe has done well you, he is now a man taking his own decisions.

PSG is a very rich team and they are targeting Osimhen because Mbappe wants to leave the team. Of course they will offer a contract with a large salary for Osimhen. But the problem is that Ligue 1 is like a farmers' league where PSG really dominates and it is easy for anyone who plays for PSG to win the title again.

If Osimhen wants to pursue a career and improve the quality of his game, I think EPL is a suitable choice rather than the French league. He will have more exposure in England and if he is able to compete with Haaland and Salah then of course Osimhen's market value will increase drastically. And if he plays in the English league, I'm sure people will always watch him play rather than play for PSG.

Clubs like Chelsea and PSG both have quite large finances and they have the same opportunity to get Victor Oshimen from Napoli if they offer a salary and transfer fee that matches what Napoli wants, even though Victor Oshimen is a very important player for Napoli but when it comes to with big financial benefits I think Napoli will let him go even though their performance is not good this season but Napoli can buy several new players with the proceeds from the sale of Victor Oshimen and hopefully if Victor Oshimen leaves Napoli it will not affect their performance in the future.

However, if Victor Oshimen chooses to go to the English league, he has to think about it carefully, even though the Premier League is a competitive league, the competition for the Champions League zone is very difficult for Chelsea to achieve, so it is possible that Victor Oshimen will only play in the domestic league, but if he is at PSG, Victor Oshimen can still play in big competitions and can also win the league 1 title easily because the competition in league 1 is not that difficult for PSG.

In this world while we are having peoples fighting hard for the more money and better things in career emotions are having nothing to do for them and same happening in Kylian Mbappé case he wants to have more than his current level which is not possible for him after staying into Ligue 1 because here quality and performance are not reliable, and they are on decline which is another problem so most chances things will be gone as now we are watching this all he is going to leave and PSG have to bring his replacement as well which could be good for them because with this now they will be able to bring better things in this club and surely this could be start of new era under Luiz Enrique as well.

Presence of Mbappé is surely having not good impact of them in last few years so now they need to settle this and having change which will be surely positive for them and their future as well because with this now they will be having few good players which will work with better depth and better results.

Yes you are right and Lyon looked much better than their previous few games which kept them in the relegation zone, and now they are more secure in much better position.
Lyon needs at least 3 or more wins in a row in the future to be able to maintain their position stronger because if mistake occurs which results in defeat and losing full points then they will again have the opportunity to go down.
For the next match, Metz has the advantage of home match, but Metz is lower team that has not been able to show its performance well, so it is possible for Lyon to still be able to win even though they have to play away.
Moreover, Lyon is also the favorite in this match and Lyon seems to be very favored to be able to easily win, I think win with narrow score like 0 - 1 or 1 - 2 will be worthy victory for Lyon to get full points again.

I don't doubt how Lyon has changed at the moment and there is still confidence in Lyon continuing to win, but if they lose this match I won't expect much from Lyon in the future to make them favorites in every match that will be played.
It better for us to wait and see what will happen in the match, whether they can actually win as we hope or not.

There are many possibilities that could still happen and both clubs do have the money to make everything change. But if Osimhen intends to play in the Premier League then PSG's chances are slightly smaller because it is about him. The big offer that PSG will submit will make Napoli consider it and if PSG loses Mbappe then they will have to look for a replacement option. Boehly has spent a lot of money in the previous transfer market, but Chelsea's performance has not changed and instead is getting worse.

It is much more profitable for Osimhen to play for PSG compared to Chelsea because he can play in the Champions League. If he wants to achieve his best career then I think PSG is the right club for Osimhen. The Premier League is very competitive and if Osimhen is not able to maintain his best playing form then his career could fade and he will lose even more opportunities to become famous.

PSG appears to me like they have got a really big issues with scouting a d they need to improve their quality of scout because they seem to get good players but not the best combinations to give them the kind of results they would be aiming to achieve with their new signings, osimhen isn't a bad deal but PSG isn't a team that will really being out the best in him and so if he get a deal with them he might aswell leave immediately after his deal elapses which will mean they didn't get the best of him.

Osimhen isn't even looking like he will be putting in to consideration going to France or PSG as most of his aspirations has always been around england and so he will be most likely be looking out for the best deal from Chelsea rather than PSG, the resources to get osimhen might not be much issues in PSG because apparently they have got the resources but they may not be his desired destination but then if he doesn't get the desired offer from his desired destination then he may put them into consideration.  I don't think the offer if huge salaries at this point will be the primary factor for osimhen's move even if it's a key factor but then it appears at this point for osimhen it's about his career more.

Speculation regarding Mbappe move will become clear when the season ends and the transfer window opens again, for now I agree with what you said. As long as there is no official confirmation from PSG-Madrid-Mbappe, it is still considered a rumor. Personally, I am very curious about how this transfer saga will be resolved in the future, after the long, drawn-out wait.

Luis Enrique will look for a player if Mbappe leaves, several names are also rumored to be targets for PSG in the future, such as Osimhen. For now, Enrique has to think about how PSG can progress further in the Champions League, while Mbappe is still with them at the club. For Ligue 1 itself, I feel PSG will remain stable and will continue to be the rulers even if Mbappe leaves later.

The top club with the most potential to recruit Mabppe is Madrid, Perez will return to continue build the Galacticos in the latest volume. On the other hand, maybe in the future PSG will change their wasteful transfer style, they will not build an expensive squad surrounded by star players, because that does not guarantee that they can get the UCL trophy easily.

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 may not really be 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.

 Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i didn't think they were set to afford that amount for him during the January transfer window. Overtime the French forward has testifyingly being advantageous to the Ligue 1 team and his eagerness and vibrant ball play style has helped project him beyond series of competitions. Although he earned it all for himself and it's understandable if his team are scared of loosing him this summer when his contract expires. For one, the prospect team is his dream team so the odds for his move to the Spanish side is high and sadly a setback looming for PSG as they'd have to strive to find a proper replacement for him that'll deliver at thesame pace or maybe near the pace at which he delivered. If there was a way for them, they'll retain him in the French league for as long as they can but change is inevitable and it'll add the needed experience that's required for him. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold.

This has happened from last season and surely next season will also happen if indeed the possibility of Mbappe to stay at PSG has been disturbed because he wants to leave PSG quickly.
This scheme will eventually remain the same as before where Osimhen will be used as a domino effect of Mbappe's departure but talking about Osimhen at this time will not be as complicated as before because surely if the clause is appropriate then surely Osimhen will leave Napoli without any excessive restrictions like last season.
Currently Napoli are trying to tug of war, their situation in the dressing room especially with Osimhen is still having a bit of a problem because this season a lot of internal things happened involving Osimhen and this could be a strong reason for him to leave.
It depends on which money will be chosen because after all, currently Chelsea also still has high hopes for Osimhen.
