It is hard to believe in them to be this consistent in the Ligue 1 two seasons in a row for now. Because they are losing their players who played a big role in this success one by one lately.
Lens were activelly selling its players but the club was also investing to the new player. The key was in how good the development that being made by lens to the new players. Lens is now in preparation to buy charles de ketelaere.
I think that the club is trying to hard to compete in UCL next season. Lens will be playing in UCL along with PSG. The trench league was sending two candidates for this season.  Even though lens already sold many of its players but it can still consistent.

It's not comparable with PSG as lens is not as rich as PSG. I think that club will be doing some preparations before it will be going to face UCL next season.
I hope lens will able to perform so well in UCL.

In fact, that's not just about French League but in Bundesliga, we have the same situation and some other teams will never get the chance to race in the league for the top place of the table while Bayern Munich usually wins the title.
That's because of the more investment they do in the teams like PSG and compared to all other teams they have a much better financial situation.

Watching them would be often boring, because we already who will emerged as the winner, unlike other competitive leagues that requires good chances of performances. PSG may struggle to win other important prizes, but not Ligue One. I've been watching the Parisians and the Bavarians, who have both adopted exactly the same approach to the game. PSG and Bayern Munich maintained their unchallenged supremacy in their respective competitions. They almost certainly win their domestic league title every season, making other teams appear weak and unfit to complete their obligations.

Every team has its period, but if you talk about it, Juventus has also dominated Serie A for a very long time and finally in the last few seasons they are now unable to compete again to occupy the throne. I think PSG and Bayern Munich really have it all, especially since they don't really have enough competitors to threaten the title they have every season. However, if the management has problems or is not right in building the squad, I think both of them can experience the same thing as Juventus in Serie A. As a big team in Ligue 1, PSG must immediately clean up all the noise and must prove that they are able to remain consistent. Don't let other teams take advantage of their current weakness.

The way for PSG to get dembele from barcelona becomes even closer right now. Dembele has asked barcelona for permission to start a negotiation with PSG regarding his transfer from barcelona to the PSG. Dembele really puts respect to the barcelona.

Quote
Following this weekend’s reports that Paris Saint-Germain had stepped up their efforts to bring in Ousmane Dembélé, L’Équipe are reporting this afternoon that the French international has asked Barcelona for permission to negotiate with the Ligue 1 champions.

The former Rennes and Borussia Dortmund man’s €50m release clause expires at midnight tonight, after which the fee needed to sign him will double. L’Équipe indicate that the player’s representatives and PSG have agreed on the outlines of a deal that will cover four to five years.
https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/ousmane-dembele-asks-barcelona-for-permission-to-speak-to-psg/

PSG saw the previous results i the friendly matches are bad result for the team. Enrique seems to try to build it again from zero to hero. Signing dembele gonna be one of the best transfer that may be made by PSG. I do know how good dembele in barcelona.
He has been played for so many seasons in barcelona. There will be more names to come very soon. I expect if PSG gonna buy a lot of players before the transfer season gonna end.

I read that if PSG tries to approach kolo muani as well.

I really don't think Mbappe has any major problems. We would actually have to wait till the season begins to be able to properly place him in the category where he best fits.
He is no doubt one of the best and many clubs would scramble to sign him. He doesn't really want to stay on. I think he wants to stretch himself in another top league like premier league or Spanish league. These are two of the top most soccer leagues where his abilities would be put on a display and he might even get nominated as world best, if he supercedes expectation.
Let PSG allow the young player leave if he wants to because coercing him to play on when he doesn't really want to might make him struggle through the season also.
Im also not saying that Mbappe has too big a problem but only about freedom. I mean Mbappe is one of the young players who has very good quality, his talent is extraordinary and he just wants to leave PSG and choose the right team to continue his career to get more worthy titles in other competitions so that according to the talent he had while he was young .
I know he just has to stay until next year and his contract expires and choose where he will go and until now I started having bad thoughts if Mbappe is still confused about where he will move and I think the chances of the team to be chosen are from the EPL or La Liga that has high potential to pursue the title of champion league competition.

Lens got what they wanted from the previous season and now they are even in the Champions League. I don't expect them to do amazing things there of course. But even joining the group stage and being a part of it help them make a lot of extra money. You know a great deal of money is given to the teams in this stage just for joining it.

It is hard to believe in them to be this consistent in the Ligue 1 two seasons in a row for now. Because they are losing their players who played a big role in this success one by one lately.

Not to forget that there is a chance to catch a group that could be quite doable for them. The remarkable thing about Lens is that they didn't just come second in Ligue 1, but that they did it with 84 points and only lost 4 games last season. I guess this is enough of a warning to many clubs to not underestimate them. There wasn't any luck involved. Finishing the season with a 19 points advantage over Monaco is strong. With a bit of luck they can find a group that might leave them with a chance to successfully survive the group stage. I don't know Lens well, but I assume that this would be new territory for them.

Yes, they finished the league with less defeat than Paris SG. While Paris SG finished the league with 7 losses, Lens was defeated only 4 times. This should not be forgotten either. They have achieved important victories in the league. Although they do not have as strong a squad as Paris SG, it is something that proves their quality that they continue the leadership race so well.

True, that's why the major concern for bundesliga is the league lacks of club that have money to build a proper club. The league is always dominated by bayern. It's even easy to pick which club that's gonna be winning the game.
Bayern will always be winning the trophy, no matter what happened to another club. It likes said bundesliga is my trophy, and it's owned by me. Bayern did everything to dominate the league as well as buying the player from its competitor.
My this disappointment was on DFL which was not allowing investors to come and give funding to the small clubs. The bundesliga will always be owned by bayern caused by there will be no strong contender to compete with the club to win bundesliga.
Dortmund may able to win it as long as bayern played so badly in the league, but this is quite impossible to happen with bayern.

PSG has always been a consistent team in the French league. And every season sees the league title won by PSG. Because according to the league PSG is a very strong team considering the strength of this team, other teams do not have such star players that is why this team wins the league title every time. PSG is one of the favorites in the France League next season and PSG will win the title next season. Even if Mbappe leaves PSG, this France League team is the favorite because apart from Mbappe, they have several other famous footballers in their team who have the ability to beat any team in France League.
That's why league 1 being so popular as farmer league. There's no club that has a chance to dominate the league other than PSG. PSG will always be winning the league and qualified for UCL but surprisingly this club has never won UCL since a long time ago.
PSG was strong in league 1 caused by there was not a strong team other than PSG. To be honest, if bundesliga is far better compared with league 1. I have high hopes that Strasbourg will see some significant improvements during the next season as it has been acquired by chelsea.
There will always be a UCL spot for PSG. PSG is still having neymar in the club, If mbappe gonna decide to leave from PSG. it's likely the time for mbappe to leave from the club becomes even closer than before.
I thought that if everything is still on the way right now. No messi no mbappe no problem. PSG can sign new player from another club that has same quality as those guys.



It is not possible, there is no hope that PSG will repeat a team like the one they had in UCL, no, not of the same quality, surely your opinion goes as a fan of that league or of the team (PSG).

If they couldn't win a UCL title with this trio of players in attack, it's not going to happen anymore, destined to be part of the teams that only expect a Midas touch from a footballer and that already happened when Messi and company played for PSG.

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players in the PSG team. But Kylian Mbappe doesn't want to stay at PSG right now. I believe Kylian Mbappe will be the next generation to leave PSG. PSG's aim to do well in the Champions League seems unlikely this season.
Why is it not possible? Is the reason simply because Kylian Mbappe wants to leave PSG, I think this can only be said as speculation because next season PSG could do well in the Champions League because everyone won't know how PSG will perform in the Champions League this season front. Even though it is predicted that if there are not the best players in a team, it will be very difficult for any team to perform well in the Champions League. But who knows if next season PSG's performance will look a little different from next season.
No one actually knows if mbappe really wants to leave PSG or he wants to punish the club and leave as a free agent next season. The whole rumour is becoming complicated and I do not understand what is actually happening. Some years ago PSG gave Kylian one of the finest bid and salary structure in football history and yet he wants to pay them back this way. What wrong has PSG done to him?
If bappe really wants to leave today, he will leave but he is just being silent over the whole issue.
And when you ask the Real Madrid boss, his will say that he does not discuss any footballer that is not in his team.
he would go in free agency, that was the answer.
if you look at the problems between Mbappe and PSG it will be very complicated and maybe you will have a headache understanding it because there is a connection between personal problems and problems with other players so Mbappe best way is to leave for free. its not like PSG leniency but it can be said if he wants to say that he is the best player and a lot of people want him, its not a question of money.
looks a little arrogant but many admit that he has good quality talent so if he feels he is not valued anymore in his own team he will prove that way and even though it is not the best way but indeed this is his decision.

but lets see what happens because we really dont know the real story and whether what I'm saying is true.

I really don't think Mbappe has any major problems. We would actually have to wait till the season begins to be able to properly place him in the category where he best fits.
He is no doubt one of the best and many clubs would scramble to sign him. He doesn't really want to stay on. I think he wants to stretch himself in another top league like premier league or Spanish league. These are two of the top most soccer leagues where his abilities would be put on a display and he might even get nominated as world best, if he supercedes expectation.

Kylian Mbappe at the end of his contract will receive a loyalty bonus of 80 million euros and today it is reported that Kylian Mbappe will receive half of his loyalty clause with PSG of 40 million euros. That means PSG has to provide quite a lot of money because the renewal of his contract with Mbappe requires him to guarantee this bonus.

I think saying he wants to stay this far means PSG have to spend that money and indeed this is one of the advantages why Mbappe doesn't want to leave PSG before his contract expires. Of course PSG is quite annoyed with this and on the other hand they also made such an agreement. It seems that PSG are no longer comfortable with Mbappe's behavior and want to sell him as soon as possible before Ligue 1 starts in 12 days.

In France and Spain, the transfer window closes on September 1st, so we will wait another month for this situation to be resolved. I thought that PSG would be able to sell Mbappe before August 1st, but it looks like they are not going to adequately reduce the price of him and thus he will leave them for free in a year. Well, they have a month left to change their outlook on things.

That's because of the more investment they do in the teams like PSG and compared to all other teams they have a much better financial situation.


But there is a significant difference between Ligue 1 and the dominant position that PSG is in and the Bundesliga and Bayern Munich.

In the Bundesliga Bayern Munich worked hard for their success and found away to preserve the good stuff and get rid of the bad stuff they did. When they had the money to go for big transfers, it was always well-considered and in a very low number of cases a risky investment that went wrong or didn't pay off at all. They made their mistakes as well, but every club made mistakes with transfers. But Bayern Munich knew that they can't afford to be wrong all the time or that they can't afford to get too dependent on one player who with a single transfer emptied all their savings.

PSG is fundamentally different and nothing there is built on hard work by the club. It is money from oil sources because Khelaifi decided to get a new hobby.

This is where the club depend on their owners. When Khelaifi pulls the plug or reduces spending drastically, what will PSG look like in a few years from now. But Bayern Munich doesn't depend on a single sponsor.

Paris SG is the biggest championship candidate this year. yes, they are similar to Bayern Munich in this regard. Bayern Munich dominates the German league, while Paris SG dominates the French league. Still, they suffered significant losses this year. They tried to fill their place, but let's see how the team harmony will be this year.

I know that a lot of people do not understand that but PSG has better players in every position than all of the league and that's why they are going to win it no matter what. Mbappe seems like he will stay for another year, and that means one more year of their championship. Next season we are going to see what happens without Mbappe but I bet it is going to be fine.
You are correct about psg being the strongest team in the Ligue 1, with or without Mbappe, and they are going to win the French league even if Mbappe and Neymar leaves the club, but psg fans and owners are no longer happy with winning just the Ligue 1, they want to win the champions league as proof that their investments all these years have been fruitful. But psg cannot win the champions league for now because of all their internal problems, they have to settle everything and allow Luis Enrique to manage the club without any pressure, if the club does this they might win the champions league after a few seasons.
From a financial point of view, there is no doubt that Paris SG has very good finances, but in terms of performance in other competitions, I think it is not as optimal as the matches in the Champions League, Paris SG is not strong enough to compete against other top clubs and even though there are top players in this club, but all it would just be a waste of money just throwing money at the top players but does not guarantee titles in other competitions.
Paris SG has been the strongest club in the French League 1 since a few years ago and doesn't need star players but requires consistency and the best strategy to be able to get trophies in the champions league and I think all of this requires an experienced coach and maintaining several seasons gives an opportunity to find new strategy in every season to get strategy chance to reach final and win champions league match.
The arrival of Luis Enrique must be at least a few seasons not to change coaches again because nothing is instant and sometimes the coach needs time to find the best way

The goal of the entire investment of their players is to win the European Champions League. But so far PSG have not been as lucky as Chelsea and Man City who are one step faster to win the UCL trophy, I think in the near future they can win it. Of course Luis Enrique had a lot of pressure to lead PSG to win the UCL, but this consequence was logically in Enrique estimation before accepting an offer from PSG. It is true that PSG without Mbappe and Neymar are still a big and calculated club, PSG can win various trophies even without them.

I think Enrique is very suitable to build a long-term project together to win the UCL trophy, like Pep Guardiola who stayed to build Man City for more than seven years. In the end, last season paid off by winning the UCL after trying from 2016.

PSG couldn't even win the Champions League title while they had a dream trio like Mbappe - Neymar - Messi. They had just the kind of a squad that could really win the CL title. The reason why was of course the inadequate level of management of the team. Why would you bring an inexperienced manager like Galtier in the first place?

By saying inexperienced of course I mean the kind of experience with top teams. This was unnecessarily risky for them. PSG only needed a winner manager who had a good system to apply for this team. We will see if Luis Enrique is the right man for the job. Because his strategies are different from the usual for PSG.

I wonder in what sense this is a trio of "dream"? They showed very average results (and the results are the most important thing if we talk about sports and not about brands) and by the way, if you remember, they had very long periods when the three of them played significantly worse than when, for various reasons, one of this trio on field was missing.

When this trio was first built I was looking at it admirably. Because each one of these players was a special player. But things didn't went just as I expected. Neymar was getting injured quite often in the first place. I couldn't see him playing a full season properly. His statistics were still impressive when he played but this doesn't mean anything as long as he misses so many games.

Messi and Mbappe were still doing very well but it wasn't enough to reach their main target of course. By saying a dream trio I meant that they seemed to me like that when Messi was first brought here. The situation after that was exactly as we both mentioned.

Of course PSG is quite annoyed with this and on the other hand they also made such an agreement. It seems that PSG are no longer comfortable with Mbappe's behavior and want to sell him as soon as possible before Ligue 1 starts in 12 days.

There are various different rumors related to the bonus that Mbappe got after his contract period ended, but certainly, one of the reasons PSG wanted to let Mbappe go in this summer's transfer window was a related problem. even that, if the scenario is that Mbappe doesn't want to extend his contract. well, the drama of this transfer saga has also surfaced. but what is clear, that it is not as easy as the club wants to sell their star players. in the end, the final decision rests with the player. but what is certain, Mbappe has said that he will stay with PSG for one more season until his contract ends. with the scenario, he will get a fantastic loyalty bonus.

Now several rumors have been circulating, starting with Al Hilal, Liverpool, now Chelsea have reportedly opened talks to sign the Paris Saint-Germain striker in this summer window. As reported by several news sources referring to journalist Ducan Castles, he reports that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has opened talks with PSG. I can't confirm whether this news is true or not, but at least the rumors are popping up. we'll see, whether Mbappe will leave or stay.
So far Mbappe has held the key to the situation and he is playing very safe not to make the slightest mistake. The loyalty bonus given to him will add to his savings after leaving PSG and all of that can be obtained if he lasts another season at PSG. I think if PSG want to lower Mbappe's transfer fee this summer, then this problem will be solved soon.

We all know Mbappe just wants to go to Real Madrid and Mbappe may indirectly ask PSG to reduce his price, then that's where Real Madrid will step in and start making offers. The rumors you said are true that Mbappe has been linked with a number of these teams, but the most serious one here is Chelsea because they have the desire to be able to bring in Mbappe at the fee desired by PSG.
