That's right, even I still remember his prowess when he recorded a hat-trick when defending Portugal against Switzerland in last year's world cup. In addition to other statistics last season defending Benfica, he also scored a total of 27 goals in all competitions and is on the list of top scorers number 2 in the Portuguese league. So PSG have chosen the right striker to replace Mbappe and as long as he can produce the same results or even more than last season, then PSG will not hesitate to entrust him again next year. Of course, PSG hopes that Mbappe will be sold soon this summer so that they can get additional funds or can be used to buy Goncalo Ramos permanently from Benfica.

Two great players like Mbappe and Messi left PSG. Of course, PSG will have to find replacements for these two players. But while PSG had plenty of star players last season, the bond between the players was weak. This is why we don't see a very good performance from PSG. PSG's performance was average. PSG will not need more star players if new coach Luis Enrique can improve the chemistry between the players. If there is good understanding between the players, the performance of the team is stable. Goncalo Ramos is a good choice for Enrique. PSG's attack will be strengthened if Enrique can use this young player well.



Money is not a big factor for PSG. They are ready to spend a lot of money. Only 65 million is not a huge amount for Nasser Al Khelaifi. But it remains to be seen how Ramos performs. If Ramos adapts to Enrique's match tactics, I believe we will get a world class performance from Ramos.

I saw similar news some time ago, but I don't know if it's fake news or not, I know that Luis Enrique is a rather difficult coach, not because PSG decided on him, knowing that he is a coach who is quite controversial, I actually would have looked for someone with more experience, I personally never liked him as a player, and neither did he as a coach, he is a person who, if things are not done as he says, he leaves or not He doesn't care about anything, for a club as prestigious as PSG they have to take many things into consideration, including a more committed coach who has every desire to do things well, because what comes next will not be easy.


The situation they have at PSG is complicated, really because of Ney he is a player that I feel has not been valued very well, at PSG things are sometimes seen in a different way, before I thought that the one who was at PSG would be the best because this team really had a sheikh in command, but seeing that the fans are so disrespectful, of course not all but some, the player Ney is a star, he shouldn't stay there then, I thought that he shouldn't even want to go to the Barcelona, as he himself has said, he shouldn't go to MU either, he should wait for more offers, if they ask for it from the Middle East, he shouldn't even think about it but leave.

I also understand the hell that Messi would live at PSG, where I also know that he was not feeling well, and part of it could be seen that he was not happy with that team, but I think he fell to PSG for such a bad reason that they treated him at Barcelona, and I remember that he was not satisfied with that, after so much time, Barcelona had the nerve to want him back in their ranks? It is a total impudence on the part of these teams, however I am glad that Messi has gone to a calmer football where he is super loved, it is a shame that he did not go to Saudi football, but at least he has more peace of mind.

and:

Al Hilal interested in signing PSG’s Neymar




It is that the problem is not that he leaves or not, the problem is that Ney knows that his injury is a serious one, that he has to take good care of it, unfortunately in Europe they do not see this with the same interest as he did, it is unheard of that in Europe they see to the players with an expiration date, once they are very old or that they consider it so, they simply let them go and that they are no longer useful, except for some clubs like in Germany and Italy, that the players still see them with the importance they deserve, on the other hand, I have seen that in France and Spain they do not have that respect, they are only Interested in very young and famous players, I would go to the Middle East once and for all.

Of course I add and say all these things assuming that Ney thinks that his cycle in Europe is over, that he has achieved enough to go to another football, which is not as demanding as the European rhythm and that he is not in suspense. everything, I understand that things have become hard for the player, some do not want him as Xavi from Barcelona made it known, that I hope he never regrets, because someone who has been a Barcelona fan is Ney, but that is not They see it in the teams, at least Xavi didn't see it, plus I think Ney needs to do something without so much effort, although currently the level of Saudi football is on the rise, he shouldn't miss out on this enormous opportunity.

If the problem is injuries and expensive salaries, then of course the big clubs out there also seem difficult to sign Neymar because of many considerations. But, if Neymar really has to leave then maybe it will be forced for Neymar to play in the Saudi Pro League. But, if Neymar still wants to play at a big club in Europe, then maybe deciding to lower his salary a little can be the right way. Because of course, playing in European competition which has a tough style of play will be very worrying for Neymar condition too, of course.

I remember when PSG fans were coming to the neymar's home to insult him. I hope neymar is gonna leaves from there asap. I understood why messi was not willing to stay even longer in PSG due to the how toxic PSG fans is. PSG fans's ultras were also so crazy. Neymar has been linked to the chelsea but since he was refusing it and he prefers to join in manchester united if he can. Neymar is still facing injury in PSG. We can't expect him to play soon.

I really don't wanna know whether we are about to see a massive transfer from Neymar to the Saudi Professional League. Neymar cares more about money than about anything else or otherwise he wouldn't have left Barcelona for PSG when he was still so young.

Barcelona would make a mistake getting him back for much money. I know that his stats in Ligue 1 are good, but still there is a difference when someone has those stats in Ligue instead of the Premier League.

But something else would really be crazy. I think we would never see a team lose three players in one season of the calibre of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar.

Talking about Messi, he is the craziest free kick taker ever. I don't know how he is doing that...

It's tough to stay or concentrate when your own fans hate one of your best players. Sorry, but their fans can be really toxic. I wish Neymar finds a good club, but going back to Barcelona might not be possible since there's no interest from Barca side. Injuries have cost him a lot in his career most of the time. I wish he never left Barcelona. There are rumors that the transfer fee could be around 50m to 80m. Transfer fee not a problem, but the real issue is his wages, which is quite high. Not many clubs might afford him except Saudi clubs.

Well done PSG, we have a guy who's gonna replace mbappe's position. I hope that he will able to perform so well in PSG. The club is still struggling with its bad performance at this moment. It doesn't matter whether he was coming as a loan or permanent transfer. I just hope if goncalo ramos will able to become the solution to help PSG in solving its problem in attacking line.
PSG has been facing some bad results in the previous matches. Enrique counts him soon as the main striker in the club. I hope concalo will become a suitable striker for PSG.

With all of bad things happened with mbappe and im 100% believe if mbappe will not be playing next season. PSG is trying to keep its commitment to leave mbappe on the bench.
PSG doesn't wanna see him play in the club. I hope mbappe realizes his position very soon.

if you look at the history of Goncalo Ramos performance last season he has very good liveliness in attack and the quality of his play is also very interesting always has opportunities to find gaps to be able to score goals and maybe this is PSG step to build a stronger team without Mbappe or you could say preparing a stronger team before Mbappe left. its proven that if Mbappe does not become the main player in several matches, PSG is actually trying to use other players and now they are even looking for a new striker, even though on loan, but Im very sure that if Goncalo Ramos performs well at PSG next season, PSG officials will make it permanent after that they officially sell Mbappe .
€65 million for PSG does not matter if its in terms of the form they're getting because there no doubt that this Gancalo is a very good talent.

PSG treated Neymar very bad in the last summer when they tried to satisfy Mbappe and wanted to sell Neymar if possible. Neymar does not actually need to win Champions League like Mbappe as he got it with Barcelona. If he receives good offers from Saudi Arabia, why should he stay at PSG after all?

If Neymar loves money, he will be able to receive more money from Saudi Arabian clubs than from PSG. I am sure that if Neymar sheds a signal that he want to leave, such offers will come to him quickly.

Dembele and Asensio are two good transfers from PSG and those new players in theory are very helpful for PSG to cover departure of Messi and either Mbappe or Neymar. The question is only will PSG be ready to let all three attacking players, Messi, Mbappe and Neymar leave their club in a same summer transfer season?

They have gotten two replacements for the three players and only need one more replacement. Who will be that player or PSG plan to keep at least either Neymar or Mbappe in their club?

Recently there have been some rumors that Neymar does not want to stay at PSG, he wants to leave PSG this season. Neymar is more interested in returning to Barcelona, but is willing to take a pay cut if he wants to change teams. After Luis Enrique took charge of PSG, it seemed that Neymar would stay at PSG, but within days of Luis Enrique taking charge of PSG, there was a rumor that Neymar did not want to stay at PSG at all. Dembele may soon leave Barcelona and come to PSG in case Barcelona needs Dembele's replacement, Neymar could be Dembele's replacement although there is no confirmed news from Neymar or Barcelona on this matter so far. If Neymar returns to Barcelona again, Neymar will return to his home and he will be very happy in Barcelona.

PSG just needs to keep Neymar from leaving because PSG really needs a better front line with a more suitable tandem next season, for example like Dembele where he is a suitable player to be Neymar's partner because apart from PSG must maintain a strong front line, PSG also must be able to get players who can be suitable for midfield so that PSG can have more different strengths than the previous season even though next season PSG will go without Messi and also Mbappe whose future is still unclear where to go.

Rumors about Neymar's return to Barcelona are also unclear and certain because it is almost similar to the rumors circulating about Mbappe who also has the potential to leave PSG to join another team. So PSG's current move is only to save existing players and also try to recruit other players for positions that are still weak in the team.

Mbappe is a talented player but he grew up in Monaco then PSG and with PSG, he has earned a lot of money. After a few season in Paris with PSG, Mbappe should be professional in this summer as we see after he announced that he will not sign a new contract with PSG, he started to be unprofessional and has no longer cared about his responses in the club.

I know it is part of a conflict between PSG and Mbappe, I see it's hard to conclude what party is right and what another party is wrong. They have both right and wrong in this conflict so if they want to handle it with good images for both parties, they should cooperate with each other and respect each other. So far Mbappe started to show he disrespects PSG.

Mbappe is already a target of Real Madrid in many season and this season is only one of their latest attempts to buy Mbappe from PSG. They don't want to wait only one more season as a free agent because in the meantime, they will face with risk of losing Mbappe to another club. In addition, if they get Mbappe as a free agent, they will pay him very high salary as part of a deal that will make Mbappe as same arrogant as he is in PSG or even more arrogant.

Neymar will easily be convinced by Saudi Arabian clubs to join if they give him very lucrative offers. Neymar left Barcelona and join PSG because of money as his main reason. Winning Ballon d'Or is a smaller reason for his departure from Barcelona.

PSG officially introduced its new striker from Benfica, namely Goncalo Ramos, on loan for the next season. It seems that PSG doesn't want to make it permanent right away because they want to see first whether their performance can be consistent or not when contributing to the team. Even so, there is a buy option at the end of the season worth 65 million euros plus add-ons of 15 million euros if PSG are sure of his services.

It seems that PSG are very confident about leaving Mbappe for next season's competition and the arrival of Goncalo Ramos is certainly expected to have a significant impact on the club. With this, it remains only to wait for the development of other new players such as Dembele and Kolo Muani who are currently in the negotiation process.

I don't understand Mbappe wanting to punish PSG. Did PSG management keep Mbappe in the squad against his will? Mbappe himself has extended his contract with PSG, as Nasser Al Khelaifi wants to pay Mbappe very high wages. Mbappe has extended his contract with PSG for higher wages and more bonuses. And it's normal, any player can do that if they get high wages. So why would Mbappe punish PSG?

I would say Mbappe is very fierce. He wants a huge bonus from Real Madrid. This is why he is interested in leaving PSG as a free agent. PSG management is in no way interested in keeping Mbappe in the squad for just one season. Mbappe has nothing to do with it. He is determined to stay at PSG next season.

PSG facing all the necessary challenges presently, why? They denied Kylian Mbappe exits from Parc des Princes previous season, the Frenchman was keen on leaving for a huge sums which was actually reached by Real Madrid. The president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifi stood firm and never gave permission for the bids to proceed to crucial stages, rather he chooses to win Kylian Mbappe over with gigantic salary increased and made him the highest salary earner in Ligue One, thereby refusal from joining the Los Blancos, making madrid fans tagging him as betrayal. However things have changed alot since then, I think Kylian Mbappe wants to punish them publicly for that act, maybe one of the intentions why he would want to leave as free agent.

But I am wondering how far Mbappe will take all this as there is still no solution in sight and I believe that PSG also wants to show some strength in this case and make sure that nobody thinks players can do whatever they want to the club. Their decision to leave him out of the main squad for now is quite strict, but I also get their point here. Everyone is now taking it to a maximum, but what would Mbappe think when they put him on the bench and decide to not sell him and let him suffer for a whole season? I don't whether Enrique has some influence, but that would be a very hard course of action. Though since Mbappe didn't behave very well, I can see that PSG decides to take revenge. It would be crazy costly, but maybe this isn't about money.

The big clubs are going to throw money around to get him in the club for sure. I personally do not think that anyone is going to not try to get him if they have the money. At the same time I will also say that this was a good move by PSG. Because otherwise they were going to lose this player on whom they have invested a lot of money, basically for free. Selling him is going to give good amount of money to PSG.

I don’t know if Real Madrid will be very keen to get him in the squad because he is obviously a lot expensive. But at the same time Real Madrid do need a striker. So I think Real Madrid is going to be in the race for getting mbappe. But they will certainly have competition.

Why though, why does he insists on keep playing for a team that wants to get rid of him and basically hates him at this point. I get that money is a good reason but not like he will not be paid if he leaves? We have seen Saudi league offer more, and I am pretty sure if he goes to Real Madrid this season that would be fine as well.

I do not get the point of him staying for just money and nothing more, it just doesn't make sense at all and should be considered something that is a lot more important than that if possible. I think it could be considered a bit of a situation where he is just doing this out of spite or something. That seems like the only logical argument here, he must be doing it knowing that he is hurting his career.

This is most likely the scheme because who also wants to spend big money on a player whose contract only has 6 months left (it would be better to wait until his contract expires) so now PSG clearly feels overwhelmed to find a club that really wants Mbappe but dares to pour big money.

Now the closing time is approaching but they still can't deliver anything good for their bottom line. The ultimatum given to Mbappe a few weeks earlier was ultimately not very effective because the result remained the same


I think regardless of how the players are for Ligue 1 PSG will still be in control and be champions even though last season Lens played very well but for clubs other than PSG in Ligue 1 the performance is unpredictable, so regardless of how they are with player problems, I think PSG is still PSG in Ligue 1.
It's just that the club owners still don't really expect that, with the money that has been spent it is clear that Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants more for PSG in bigger competitions and that is difficult for them to do.
