It is probably certain that Mbappe wants to leave PSG as a free agent. Nasser Al Khelaifi has made a bigger offer for Mbappe to renew his contract. But Mbappe rejected the offer. Real Madrid were also interested in spending 180 million for Mbappe. But even then Mbappe did not agree. He is interested in leaving PSG as a free agent. And Mbappe will likely command a hefty signing bonus from whichever club he goes to.

Neymar going to Saudi club Al Hilal is almost certain. I thought Neymar would join a Premier League or La Liga club. But it didn't happen. Neymar is going to Saudi club. He will be in the same squad with Ronaldo. Neymar transfer: Al Hilal agree deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Brazil forward.

It seems Mbappe has yet changed his mind and he really wants to complete his current contract with PSG to leave as a free player in a next summer. Rumor is PSG wants to allow Mbappe to leave next summer even if he prolongs a contract one more year with them. Think of that deal which is ridiculous because why Mbappe has to sign that contract and force Real Madrid to pay transfer fee that will reduce his salary in Real Madrid.

It's unrealistic deal for all parties: PSG, Real Madrid and Mbappe so I really believe it won't happen.

After the departure of Messi, soon Neymar as two clubs Al Hilal and PSG already have an agreement for transfer fee, PSG will not want to lose Mbappe in this summer but they also don't want to lose him as a free player. It's a very tough situation for PSG.

PSG tried everything within their reach to sell Kylian Mbappe but all their strength all to no avail. Kylian Mbappe will not extend his contract with PSG, however we have different rumours circulating round his transfer. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants Kylian Mbappe to be in the club, he even tried a couple of times to persuaded the Frenchman to extend his contract which was seen as an impossible tasks. Mbappe stand firm on his decision, he's not signing any contract or leaving the club, he wants to leave as free agent, turning down the gigantic offered.

 The thing is that PSG won't want to lose on of their priced player for free to they had to look for any possible mean to pin him with a new contract with huge offer so they'll benefits from any transfer deal involving him next  summer PSG also played a big one on him by involving a huge demand that would chase away possible bidders then demoted him to training with the youth team and comeup with a contrast when they knew he had no choice but to accept the deal so as to see a playing time  this season.
 But i still feel they'll take advantage of this new decision by Mbappe and try to make him sign another contract with them next summer, my question is that with Mbappe signing a new contract with PSG is there any chances that he'll move to Realmadrid next summer because it would had been very getting him on a free transfer by sunmer, well only time will tell

From the reports that's been emanating from different sports tabloids in main land Europe, it seems like Kylian Mbappe will extend his contract with Paris Saint Germaine. He joined the first team to training yesterday and that's another strong indication that he might stay back at PSG.
That being said, if Kylian Mbappe extends his contract with PSG once again after initially making public of his decision to leave it'll somehow define him as a player whose decisions are very flexible and can be easily influenced  with money. PSG owner chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi  knows Kylian Mbappe's weakness and might make him change his mind once again with big financial offers

Sometimes things like this can happen between a good team and a weak team, maybe for Strasbourg they find it difficult to attack repeatedly but when there is an opportunity to score, they can make good use of it. Meanwhile, Lyon might carry out attacks without stopping, but with the defense and saves made by the goalkeeper 5 times, Lyon failed to beat Strasbourg. I don't think Lyon should be discouraged because after all they were unlucky in this match and maybe they will do quite a bit of training after the game so that the same thing doesn't happen again.

I think it is always the same isn't it? Khelaifi knocks on his door again and says "hey what do you think about staying one more year and we double your bonus?". As we know Mbappe very well by now, I changed my mind and now think that he will stay for another year. If it is true that they want to increase his salary once more in exchange for his signature to avoid that he can leave as a free agent next season, it is possible that he will do it. But then his hand money from Real Madrid would significantly decrease since they would have to pay a transfer fee that otherwise could have been his hand money. Mbappe has a calculator in his hand all day long.

Mbappe shouldn't stay at PSG any longer. He seemed decisive when he said that he wasn't going to extend his contract with the team. He should stand behind his words.

PSG have been believing that Mbappe has already reached an agreement with Real Madrid verbally. Technically I don't expect them to be able to convince them to stay longer from now on. They can just have one last season with him and then Mbappe leaves. Real Madrid haven't even signed anyone for their centre-forward area. They must be allocating a place for Mbappe there already. They are going to be able to sign him in only six months for free. I can't wait to see what will happen in January. 

FC Metz, club which got promotion to Ligue 1 this season, were beaten very badly by Rennes with a score of 5-1. A very deep defeat surely, now they have to improve their defense if they want to survive in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Rennes leads the standings for a while because they has 5 goal points and the second is occupied by Monaco. Rennes next match is against Lens, based on head to head Lens is better rather than Rennes, it looks like I think the result will be a draw or Lens win but for Rennes winning I doubt it.

Manchester United are going to make a big mistake if they want to add Neymar to the squad. The Premier League is very competitive. And Manchester United's style of play is very fast. Neymar is not suitable for the attack of such a team. There is no doubt that Neymar is a great player. However, Neymar does not have the fitness to play consistently in the Premier League with Manchester United. Neymar's wages are very high. And so, if Manchester United takes Neymar in the squad, the chances of them benefiting are very low. But if Neymar is not injured then Neymar is a perfect player for any team's attack.

Al Hilal still hasn't given up on bringing in the world's top players, previously they had made fantastic contract offers for Messi and Mbappe but the two players rejected the fantastic offers submitted by Al Hilal. PSG has received an offer from Al Hilal to bring Neymar to the Arab League, but the transfer process is still continuing because currently PSG and Al Hilal are waiting for approval from Neymar to take the transfer process to a further stage.

Neymar who is still able to play at a high level, needs to consider this offer, even though he is currently having trouble getting a club that wants to sign him, he still has time to continue his career in Europe. The offer submitted by Al Hilal was very tempting, Neymar will receive a salary of 100 million euros, this amount is much higher than the current salary. If it's all about money, Neymar shouldn't even think about accepting an offer from Al Hilal. but his career will decline as a result of playing in a league whose level is lower than the league in Europe.

Although we saw Lyon's dominance throughout the match, the result of the match was not in Lyon's favour. Lyon lost the match 2-1. I would say it was Lyon's misfortune. Because the Lyon players played well in the whole match.
Lyon had 64% possession of the ball in the match. Not only that, Lyon had 23 shots in the entire match, 7 of which were on target. Strasbourg did not attack much.
However, Lyon is playing in an attacking strategy, and Strasbourg has used this opportunity very well. Keeping the defense tight, the team launched several counterattacks. And they are succeeding. They made 8 shots in total. Two of these were on target and two scored. Lyon is a good team, they played well enough. However, it is necessary to change their match strategy.

The result match between Strasbourg vs Lyon is really according to the prediction that Strasbourg today gets their first 3 points this season by beating Lyon with final scores 2-1 and as a manager Viera has just made his sweet debut in Ligue 1 that since the beginning of match actually Lyon was very dominate the match and they got several opportunities to scores but surprisingly Strasbourg can able to leading the game from free kick and Lyon was attempts to equalized the game but unfortunately they only can able to scored 1 goal from Tagliafico and during the match i can see Lyon still hasn't solved their weaknesses yet that their forward players seems still struggling to find their shape especially Lacazette that he still unable to find his sharpness

I do not think its a salary problem or a problem with Mbappe and Real Madrid but what I know is that this problem happened after Mbappe refused to renew his contract with PSG. so that team officials feel like this refusal is not appreciated and added another problem Mbappe spoke to the public if PSG seemed to solve the player and this problem has been said by several people in this thread.
but not sure if all the problems we are saying are right or wrong there is always drama when a top player is about to expire and as we said here that in the end Mbappe still stays at PSG this summer.

Despite not being able to defeat Lorient we saw some good things from PSG there. There was still nothing less from their dominance. The problem was with finishing their opportunities with goals but it would also be solved in time. Because in the end they played with a brand new trio in the offense. Even Mbappe wasn't there. This new trio played together in an official match for the first time. It would be harsh to expect them to play 100% coherent with each other already now.

Ramos is a great scorer at this young age. Once he adapts I hope to see this performance continuing.

In the match against PSG, Lorient actually played full defense. amazingly, Lorient's defenders played solidly and were very disciplined. thus, PSG found it difficult to score goals. of the 20 attempted shots made by PSG players, only 4 shots were on target. results that are far from the maximum, from all the opportunities they have. although 1 of them, the chance is quite large. Unfortunately, this fight must end in a draw. but tactically, PSG played quite well even though they had difficulty breaking into their opponent's goal.

IMO, not too bad a start for PSG. because, this match is the first debut for some newcomers. Gocalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee and Marco Assensio became the new front lines in that match. next, PSG can play Dembele who seems quite ready to become the main starter. Apart from that, Mbappe's return to Enrique's squad is good news for PSG fans. thus, it is certain that PSG's front line will be sharp again, even though now without Neymar and Messi.
well, the problem is Enrique still needs a newcomer who plays as an attacking midfielder. as Enrique would have wanted, even with Mbappe, if Bernardo Silva had joined Paris Saint-Germain. then this team, will have quite competitive depth. at the very least, they will be the team that continues to dominate Ligue 1.

I was hoping to see Lyon winning last night. Lyon had a really good head-to-head game history against them in away games in the recent times. But this time they faced Strasbourg on the first week and they couldn't maintain the unbeaten streak against them. After it came to 2-0 it was just over for them already.

If Lacazette was able to make a good start maybe he could have helped his team get one point at least. But I don't keep only him responsible for this result of course. Lyon had a huge dominance especially in the second half but couldn't turn this into points.

Even though Lorient is not as good as PSG, the draw they got against PSG is a good capital for them, in fact this draw is very detrimental to PSG as the leading team in Ligue 1. The good news is, Mbappe will play in the next game and he is willing to sign a contract for one more season at PSG, if that is true then PSG's front line will be even better in attack. Lyon had to accept defeat in their first match against Strasbourg and vice versa with Lens who suffered a defeat against Brest.

There were many surprises that occurred in the first match of Ligue 1 and there were even many favored clubs that had to lose or draw in the first match. Even though the league had just started, in my opinion there were many clubs that had to try to maximize their strength again. Interesting match between Clermont Foot vs Monaco where Huetter's team managed to secure three points opponent's pen.

Lyon had to admit the superiority of host Strasbourg in last night's match and with a 2-1 defeat on the road this trip left Lyon in 14th place in the standings. Meanwhile, Strasbourg is in 6th place with this initial victory and statistically, Strasbourg was lucky enough to score two goals in minutes that were not much different. Statistically, Lyon dominated this match with 6 shots on target and the only goal they scored came in the minutes before the match ended. In the end, this time Strasbourg was more mature to win the match than Lyon.

Is salary the reason for the issue lately? everyone knows it's not about salary or money but rumors he has made a deal with Real Madrid which has aroused the dislike of PSG's owners, and also if money is a problem, of course, he will accept an offer from Al Hilal with an open heart, as is currently being wide that his team-mate is set to move to Al Hilal, so it's clear that money is not an issue for Mbappe and PSG and a raise is not the trigger for his return to training.

It's very different from Neymar who is likely to move to the SPL, of course, it's because of money because even though Ligue 1 is not a league as big as the EPL or Laliga, PSG is a club that plays in the champions league, so when he moves it's impossible because he wants to get even more prestigious achievements.
I imagine that his move to Arab will threaten his position in the Brazilian national team, it's quite a shame if he really moves to start his career there, although many always say the league there is getting more famous but that doesn't mean the competition is getting tougher.
