If the Saudi Arabian championship maintains the same interest in the top players of the European championships, then in a few years their championship may become much more interesting. At some point, after great ambitions, PSG failed to win the Champions League with the best players, now there is some moment of disappointment among the players, so PSG will have to start all over again and perhaps somehow reconsider their vision of this goal.

They are continuing to show their interests in star players from Europe but the transfer of Neymar makes me wonder. Why did they sign only 2-year contract with Neymar, not a longer one?

Neymar is still young and he is different than Benzema or Cristiano Ronaldo, they should sign a longer contract with him, like 4-year contract. This transfer makes me think that Saudi Arabian clubs are not sure about their transfer strategies and what they will achieve from those lucrative transfers.

Even in the first days when we saw the news about Mbappe leaving PSG, we could understand this player will never leave PSG easily because a player at this age and popularity in Paris is a gem and the PSG owner will never lose him or let him leave PSG easily because other than his performance in PSG, Mbappe is can bring more popularity for PSG and more marketing power for this team which can also help their business, we had the same story about Mbappe in the last time and he stayed in PSG.

PSG don't want to lose Mbappe after losing Messi and Neymar and if they let him go, they want to get enough money. Enough means very high after all money they spent for him from transfer fee to salary over years. All of those factors are very strong barriers prevent the transfer of Mbappe to any club in Europe to happen but I believe he will leave, this summer or next summer, one way or another, in paid transfer or free transfer.

But you don't really have to build a team around him as he is able to adapt to different formations and play his role exactly as the team needs it without excessively instructing him. But I think the problem this season still is that there has been so much uncertainty for such a long time and no final answer is given to the Mbappe question.

It is said that there is a secret agreement between Mbappe and Khealifi in which Mbappe allegedly gives up a major share of his bonus that is said to be between 100 million and 150 million euros. When I hear news like that I really can't believe that the greedy Mbappe would have agreed to such a deal only to make Khealifi show mercy to him and let him play again for the first PSG team. It is a very questionable agreement in regards to its genuineness, but the press can report whatever they want.

From the looks of now Mbappe will be playing for PSG this season, but it is still said that PSG fears to lose Mbappe for a zero fee. I don't understand how that fits together with the alleged "agreement".

Despite all the rumors you read on the internet about Kylian Mbappe, I also think that Luis Enrique will expect him to come back into the team and do well this season. I wouldn't fully believe that Kylian Mbappe will be frozen out of the team, but it could happen if PSG's and both sides' approaches don't really pay off.

The situation becomes difficult sometimes not because of the cases of the players involved with the team, but the media can exaggerate it for personal gain by getting a lot of interest. I can only believe that Mbappe's situation at PSG is not good following his desire to leave at the end of next season, but one or two things don't seem to be quite right as the media say.

That is just what the media is waiting for all year long. Stories like that about Mbappe are the best that can happen to them and seriously even when they publish details, these stories are so confusing that nobody can verify anything anyway ever Cheesy

But I read on goal.com that Mbappe might play for PSG this season (which again, nobody can really tell...), and if that was the case, goal.com says that this time PSG might have a chance to win the Champions League because in their opinion

"The competition's field appears to be weaker than in recent years...",

so I just wondered how they made this up? Like how did they come up with the idea that Manchester City or Real Madrid is weaker than last year? And why would PSG be much stronger without Neymar and Messi? They give the story so many twists that I believe they sometimes forget what they have written just a week ago.

Even in the first days when we saw the news about Mbappe leaving PSG, we could understand this player will never leave PSG easily because a player at this age and popularity in Paris is a gem and the PSG owner will never lose him or let him leave PSG easily because other than his performance in PSG, Mbappe is can bring more popularity for PSG and more marketing power for this team which can also help their business, we had the same story about Mbappe in the last time and he stayed in PSG.

Mbappe said he wanted to stay in psg and leave for free next summer, and that is what's happening, nothing about that changed, the only change in all of this is that psg said he was going to be frozen out of the team if he didn't sign a new contract and that he wasn't going to play any game this season, but that is not what they have done, they have brought him back into the team, even though he hasn't yet extended his contract with psg. Psg are not a club with strict policies, they are building their team around a single player who is probably going to leave them next season, this is why they aren't going to win the champions leaue yet.

Kylian Mbappe is a major star at PSG so naturally the team has been built around him. But Luis Enrique has his own policies about which players he will choose in a match plan and which not, including freezing Kylian Mbappe from the main line-up. Even I don't think this will actually come true for Mbapee because PSG doesn't have a really reliable striker as reflected in the first match of Ligue 1 some time ago.

PSG really struggle to win games without Neymar, Mbappe and Messi and it's very different when those three are around. At least PSG has a better chance of winning the game with 3 forwards like last season, but yesterday's match was difficult.

Regarding Neymar, we know this player recently left PSG and he was in bad form, that's why PSG started searching for other players to replace him and one of these options is Federico Chiesa. Federico Chiesa is a 25-year-old player and he is still under contract with Juventus until 2025. Allegri makes Chiesa to play in another position which is not his main position and maybe this situation can make Chiesa to leave Juventus for PSG in this transfer window.

There is no official news that Mbappe has extended the contract (on certain conditions) and I'm not sure that they will appear. I do not see any logic in this - why does Mbappe need this? Plus, I don't see why these fucking games should suit Real Madrid? In the end, they can completely forget about Mbappe and buy, for example, Osimhen or another young star.

The statement was coming from PSG president.

Quote

Kylian Mbappe will play for Paris Saint-Germain this season, says club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, and is expected to extend his contract to 2025.
The France international trained with the first team on Sunday after he indicated he is committed to the club and the institution

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11820/12939282/kylian-mbappe-future-psg-forward-committed-to-club-and-expected-to-extend-contract-to-2025#

The update was coming from most trusted person in PSG. I think that mbappe will not even try to betray him. So many speculations about mbappe was making this drama caused by the money. In my understand if PSG may have been offering him huge amounts of money to extend his contract in PSG for another year. Khelaifi was feeling sure if mbappe will stay and he will not leave from the club.

We may need to wait that until the end of transfer season. I kinda feel if there will be no offer come to mbappe till the close of summer transfer season. PSG will remain his home till next years.
Madrid? I have no word to trust this rumor anymore.

"Expected" is not the same as happening. PSG has long voiced its position and has been waiting for something for a long time, but nothing is changing Grin

They may keep wanting more, but Mbappe is hardly stupid enough to be involved in a scheme that PSG needs but Mbappe doesn't need.
I did not understand about the rumors and Real Madrid. Real Madrid is ready to buy Mbappe at an adequate price or take him away for free in a year, do you doubt it?

This could be possible for Marseille this season, apart from that, this weekend Marseille will also face a promoted team in Ligue1 which is likely to make it easier for Marseille to get full points. And if Marseille can win by a lot of scores, I think Marseille will immediately get first place even if only for a while, because PSG will definitely make a comeback to make competition for points in the standings even though for now they are still not superior because they got a draw in the match his first of the season.

Marseille has good capital as a club that managed to finish third in the standings last season and if last season's consistency can be maintained this season then there is hope for them to compete for the Ligue 1 title. What becomes a big problem for Marseille is if there are injuries to some of the important players they have and situations like this can make it difficult for coaches to rotate players so it is quite difficult for coaches to try to combine the remaining players.

The next match will be much lighter because Marseille will face a promoted team, so they have the opportunity to get a big win in that match. Regarding PSG I'm sure that in the next match they will play much better and they will definitely get full points even though in their first match they drew with Lorient.

Today, Renato Sanches and Leandro Paredes both were doing a Medical test for Roma and it seems both players are going to leave PSG soon because Leandro Paredes was playing Juventus on loan in the last season, while he had to return to PSG he didn't want to come back and instead, he prefers to join this Italian team.
I think PSG can have many empty slots and it's time for Enrique to hire more players.

New season, fresh targets from the new coach and the players. PSG will improve in the upcoming season, which is only a few weeks away. The Parisians are not holding back, putting up the effort necessary to compete in league games and elite events. PSG is one of the elite clubs to keep an eye on, and it will not be an easy run for them. PSG coach Luis Enrique needs all the assistance he can get right now to get his club in a stronger position. He encompasses to add additional players this summer to fill the positions of the outgoing players. Renato Sanches Leandro Parades will both suit in AS Roma style of game.

PSG will definitely do a lot better than people think they will do. PSG has done well enough so far but not enough, they have won the league but they are good enough to do a treble normally, even four titles of course in a year is possible. What this means is that they could win the league, which they already do all the time, they could also win the cup which wouldn't be that impossible, only thing that is missing is UCL and with the new season and all these transfers I believe that they will be capable of doing better.

They made some money off Neymar as well, so they should be able to buy some players with that income if possible and if they could then they will be even closer as well to win the UCL. Fourth would be the game between league winner and cup winner, which would be runner up I guess in this case.

Actually in this case by looking at some of the rumors that have occurred, especially with the news about Mbappe extending the contract at PSG for 1 season but with a note that he must be sold next season, PSG is indirectly ready to lose Mbappe but not ready to lose their money and business.
PSG is doing this so that Mbappe can still be sold next season not left free so that they can do business properly with several clubs including Madrid.
PSG are just trying to keep their heads above water with the business and money they will receive from Mbappe's sale for now.

Yeah, you are right; there was confusion that PSG management don't want to lose him as free agent, and he was not extending his contract with them which is surely big lose for them, so they want to secure this all and in start there was no way to sort out his all but now things are clearly indicating about this all because Neymar is already transferred to Al Hilal, and he is alone star which can do much better with this team with new coach and all new players.

Now with this new deal which is extended for the one season PSG management can sell him with good fees with most chances Real Madrid is now having fewer chance for bringing him to Santiago Bernabéu because it's happening to them second time in two years.

Letting the France international joining the squad back was a good decision they lacked attacking threats in the first league one game finally so having Kylian Mbappe and Dembele will make the attackers dangerous once again.
They have no option this season to go on without him, PSG needs Kylian Mbappe more that he does to them.
They should try very hard to make it to the Champions League finals this season. That should be the very first aim assist for them to achieve.

I agree that Kylian Mbappe is really needed by PSG to have a good season this season. Apart from his transfer saga with PSG and his intention to leave, then I think it should be separated from their plans for this season in terms of team performance. Mbappe shouldn't spoil everything about PSG's chances this season in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and as a player with expensive status, he must do better and answer the many wishes of the fans.

The arrival of Ousmane Dembélé from Barcelona can add value to PSG's attacking power this season. Luis Enrique can use this player to support his plans in various competitions, so he should be able to make a positive impact on the likelihood of success instead of failing miserably.

Currently there is too much news that is indeed confusing about this player and even we also often see news that contradicts Mbappe which makes it confusing which is true and which just wants to fish for sensation.
But if in the end Mbappe stays and does not leave in this summer transfer then indeed giving him a place in the remaining time he is at PSG is the most possible thing. It's just that for Dembele and Asensio I am quite doubtful about the position of these 2 players because they are in the same position. The third option to play can still be with Asensio being used as a center forward but this is only an option because Asensio is better in the wing position.

Indeed, the news about Kylian Mbappe is still confusing, but we must know that as long as there no confirmation from Mbappe or Paris SG, it means that is certain that Kylian Mbappe will still be at his current club and also sometimes rumors will look like exaggerations so that fans got confused and made his own arguments about Mbappe transfer.
From the beginning of last season break in the transfer season, our discussion has always been about Kylian mbappe and Paris SG, while there are still many other club and players that must be discussed here, because we are discussing Kylian mbappe and Paris SG, it seems pointless because there really not any change except to stay in club but we always speculate about Mbappe transfer.

Marseille had a shocking result in the Champions League qualifiers. They conceded a last minute goal first which extended the game more and Panathinaikos eliminated them by penalty shoot-outs. This is one of the worst starts Marcelino could have with the team. Normally this isn't a very challenging matchup for Marseille.

The board will be really disappointed with this result so Marcelino have a big responsibility in the Ligue 1 from now on. The main target must be to qualify for the Champions League group stage directly this time. This means to finish in top 3. Normally there were 2 teams going there directly but the league has gained one more quota.

Last season, Marseille were third in the standings. Maybe they can do well this season, because they don't have any other cups besides Ligue 1. Now they only need to focus on that. Especially PSG have problems now, which give chances for other clubs to join the fight for the top spots.

Start is not good for them in this season with now they lost game for the spot into Champions League and their opening games against Reims was also not good they need to improve their performance if they want to have better spot in Ligue 1 with now Europa Cup is also good for them with this hopefully they will be able to have better result even after just one round we can't predict about anything but still it's never been easy for them to have good result with this performance.

Last season their performance was also not good at the end they lost three consecutive matches which bring them down to third spot now in this season need to improve thing with Monaco and few other teams are also having impressive start.

With their elimination in the race for a Champions League spot, they certainly won't have a busier schedule than the clubs competing there. While it's sad that they won't be able to compete there, it's also good that they can focus more on finishing each of their matches in Ligue 1 as well as local competitions that are arguably no more prestigious than Ligue 1.
Like it or not, they must take advantage of this opportunity very well. Because if they also perform poorly in Ligue 1 it will be even more sad for them. I hope they can mentally take advantage of things like this.

One of the representatives from Ligue 1 in the UCL, Lens, did not promise in their first match in Ligue 1, a defeat they had to accept in their away match. Although they were able to take the lead with 2 goals, but they fell and instead Brest could rise and make a comeback.
Another one, Paris Siant Germain also did the same thing, they now seem to have problems in their attack after many players left. They had to draw, and it was not a good result for them to start the season.

What's interesting to me is the slick performance of Emerick Aubameyang who managed to score two goals in the Champions League play-off match, he's still very sharp. Since joining Marseille last July from Chelsea, this was his first goal for Marseille in three appearances.

The foundering of Marseille steps on the European Champions League stage will return their focus to Ligue 1 only. As you said if it fails in Ligue 1, Marseille will end the season 23-24 without any trophies.

Last night Marseille played desperately against Panathinaikos in the Champions League qualifier and thus, it is likely that the condition of the Marseille squad was very drained in the match last night. Therefore, if Marseille is not quick to recover the stamina of its players, then it is possible that Marseille's performance in the next match against Metz in Ligue 1 may be slightly disturbed and or not optimal as well.

As for me, I don't think Marseille played poorly last night, but what I observed from the match is that Panathinaikos was just in good form yesterday, but Marseille played to their best, but the truth is that they were not able to score many goals with those good chances they had. And one thing again, sometimes playing teams from other leagues is hard because there are also great teams from other leagues. I believe Panathinaikos is a great team in their league and performed well last season, which was why they were called to play in the Europa League Qualification, so I expected them to gave Marseille a tougher time that yesterday.

Quote

But yes, of course these conditions cannot be an excuse for Marseille in the next match. Because yes, although Marseille will also play away, but considering that the opponent is Metz, the promotion team. So it is appropriate for Marseille to get full points again on the second matchday Ligue 1 later against Metz.

Yes, I am also expecting Marseille to be able to win their next match against Metz despite their playing an away game, but I know that it will not be easy to win Metz like that because before Metz was relegated, it always gave Marseille tough times to win them, but see how this time game will look like, maybe the strategy they use to win Marseille has changed, and even if Marseille wins Metz, I don't think it will be with many goals.

Regardless of whether or not you like Mbappe's behaviour in the end he also has the right to decide for himself on the career he is currently doing and don't forget that Mbappe's nature can arise because he is too spoiled with more than he should. indirectly, the existence of Mbappe's nature like this is a factor from PSG too so I think this is a cause and effect that occurs.

PSG rewards Mbappe too much but on the other hand Mbappe is also aware that if he continues at PSG then indeed this will not have a big impact on his career apart from the power of money and power for PSG at the club.

Quote from: Raflesia on August 15, 2023, 01:03:09 PM

Now that won't happen because Mbappe has extended his contract for one season at PSG but seeing from the clauses circulating in some news this is just like a game so that PSG does not lose its money considering that in the new contract there is a condition where PSG is obliged to sell Mbappe next season which indirectly indicates that Mbappe will still leave, it's just that his departure will not be free because he still has one season left on his contract.

On the other hand, this is actually a good option for PSG because at least they don't lose a lot of money considering that if there is no clarity from Mbappe then apart from the loss they cannot hold Mbappe, they also won't get a cent if this new contract does not exist.

It is enough to withdraw the offer made by PSG for Mbappe and this will allow PSG to continue to receive money from selling Mbappe next year. What PSG has done is right, it's just that they have to anticipate unwanted things next season. Certainly there will be many clubs who are interested in getting Mbappe and the cost is definitely not cheap. Manchester united, chelsea and Real Madrid are probably the most advanced teams to be able to bring in Mbappe. But seeing Mbappe's own interest, it is certain that he will choose Real Madrid and maybe it's just a matter of how the negotiations between PSG and Real Madrid go quite smoothly later. For now Mbappe's future is clear in Paris and that will add another year to his title-winning streak with PSG.

There is no other way for PSG because if they let this drama continue, apart from disrupting the performance of other players on the field they will also get nothing from Mbappe when he leaves so when they cannot force him to leave in this transfer then one hope is to extend the contract at least one season and be ready to sell Mbappe next season because this way Mbappe can be played without previous threats and they can also get money from the sale of Mbappe next season.

if you noticed lately most young talents are being moved by my money and contract offers by clubs and it think Mbappe understands what he has to benefit in his new contract apart from playing time and uplifting of the punishment given to him, he tried his best to move to Realmadrid this summer which later attracted a punishment to him, and his new contract involves him being allowed to move to another club next summer.
PSG gave him an offer he couldn’t reject knowing fully well that they need a player of such quality after letting go of Neymar and also if he signs a deal they won't lose him for free next season, left for me i think this might be the last seaaom for Mbappe at PSG because the new clause in his contract permits him move and if he remains at PSG he won't have a better chance of winning the Champions League only has to settle for the France league trophy and the money benefits that comes with it.

Now that won't happen because Mbappe has extended his contract for one season at PSG but seeing from the clauses circulating in some news this is just like a game so that PSG does not lose its money considering that in the new contract there is a condition where PSG is obliged to sell Mbappe next season which indirectly indicates that Mbappe will still leave, it's just that his departure will not be free because he still has one season left on his contract.

On the other hand, this is actually a good option for PSG because at least they don't lose a lot of money considering that if there is no clarity from Mbappe then apart from the loss they cannot hold Mbappe, they also won't get a cent if this new contract does not exist.

I don't like Mbappe's behavior to PSG, he is a player and should respect the team because they spend a lot of money of money for him as the highest paid player, although I am impressed that he extended his contract with the team in order to give them the chance to get some money back instead of letting him go as a free agent.

Now that PSG has lost some players, will only Mbappe hold the team to victory again this season?

Regardless of whether or not you like Mbappe's behaviour in the end he also has the right to decide for himself on the career he is currently doing and don't forget that Mbappe's nature can arise because he is too spoiled with more than he should. indirectly, the existence of Mbappe's nature like this is a factor from PSG too so I think this is a cause and effect that occurs.

PSG rewards Mbappe too much but on the other hand Mbappe is also aware that if he continues at PSG then indeed this will not have a big impact on his career apart from the power of money and power for PSG at the club.

It is enough to withdraw the offer made by PSG for Mbappe and this will allow PSG to continue to receive money from selling Mbappe next year. What PSG has done is right, it's just that they have to anticipate unwanted things next season. Certainly there will be many clubs who are interested in getting Mbappe and the cost is definitely not cheap. Manchester united, chelsea and Real Madrid are probably the most advanced teams to be able to bring in Mbappe. But seeing Mbappe's own interest, it is certain that he will choose Real Madrid and maybe it's just a matter of how the negotiations between PSG and Real Madrid go quite smoothly later. For now Mbappe's future is clear in Paris and that will add another year to his title-winning streak with PSG.

There is no other way for PSG because if they let this drama continue, apart from disrupting the performance of other players on the field they will also get nothing from Mbappe when he leaves so when they cannot force him to leave in this transfer then one hope is to extend the contract at least one season and be ready to sell Mbappe next season because this way Mbappe can be played without previous threats and they can also get money from the sale of Mbappe next season.

Last season, Marseille were third in the standings. Maybe they can do well this season, because they don't have any other cups besides Ligue 1. Now they only need to focus on that. Especially PSG have problems now, which give chances for other clubs to join the fight for the top spots.

This could be possible for Marseille this season, apart from that, this weekend Marseille will also face a promoted team in Ligue1 which is likely to make it easier for Marseille to get full points. And if Marseille can win by a lot of scores, I think Marseille will immediately get first place even if only for a while, because PSG will definitely make a comeback to make competition for points in the standings even though for now they are still not superior because they got a draw in the match his first of the season.

To avoid the financial loss of the club, PSG has already tried to sell Mbappe to a good club for one season, but if no club expressed interest in taking Mbappe for just one season, PSG president decided to keep Mbappe in PSG for one more season. At the moment, the club has no other option. If Mbappe was not a French player and PSG was not a French club, Mbappe would have been in great danger at this time. PSG cannot take any action against him just because he is an important player in France. Luis Enrique may have the chance to plan another season with Mbappe. If Mbappe stays at PSG for one more season, he will try to do something good for PSG.

A very good and bold decision by the both parties while this was going to have something serious problem at the end both parties sit and having suitable solution which is going to increase strength of the PSG and also good for the Mbappé to stay another season in Paris for the win of the few more trophies in this all drama which happen in this all transfer window we have good masala from the media with mostly were feeling he is going to leave for the Real Madrid but nothing happen then we have another news about few English clubs, but this deal was also beyond their limits and at the end we also have Saudi League which offer two years contract but Mbappé rejected this as well which was surely headache for the PSG, and they decided to keep him in their team with their own agreement which mean now Real Madrid needs to go in market for the better striker.

It's time for Enrique to maximize his team, he has Mbappe, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos. these three players, quite reliable from their individual skills. apart from that, PSG also has Assensio which Enrique can rotate depending on how he concocts the formula later. while for Kang-in Lee, Enrique can place in his original position or become an attacking midfielder. at least now PSG is quite competitive from various positions even though this team cannot be said to be ideal, but at least PSG is counted again in the Champions League as one of the competitors even though it is not the most favorite team. for Ligue 1, as usual they will continue to dominate like Bayern with their Bundesliga.

If the Saudi Arabian championship maintains the same interest in the top players of the European championships, then in a few years their championship may become much more interesting. At some point, after great ambitions, PSG failed to win the Champions League with the best players, now there is some moment of disappointment among the players, so PSG will have to start all over again and perhaps somehow reconsider their vision of this goal.

PSG can breathe a sigh of relief after Mbappe contract extension process has begun to progress, they no longer need to worry about losing Mbappe for free after a new contract has been agreed by both parties. PSG front line underwent major changes this season, after Messi went to Inter Miami now Neymar has also gone to Al Hilal.
This drastic change has made PSG front line no longer as superior as last season, the arrival of Ousmane Dembele does not guarantee that PSG front line will still be flashy. Apart from Mbappe and Dembele, PSG front line is filled with Marco Asensio, Goncalo Ramos and Lee Kang In. Luis Enrique must be able to take advantage of them to keep PSG chances of retaining the Ligue 1 title and staying in the UCL to the last round.

So far, we haven't heard any updates regarding Mbappe after the latest news from Fabrizio Romano. however, it appears that an agreement has been struck between Nasser Al Khelaifi and Mbappe. which in the end, the chaos between the club and the French star has found common ground which has become a win-win solution for both parties. the right time for Enrique to be more flexible and focus on building his team's squad, without having to be bothered again regarding the tension that is happening within their camp.
