It's too soon to talk about Enrique and whether he can earn more achievements for PSG than the last season or not because we didn't see any game from PSG with Enrique yet. I think after they spent a huge amount of money in the last season now they want to just spend on the players Enrique really needs for the next season.

When a particular club is flooded with stars who wants to make individual headlines and win personal accolades for themselves instead of playing for the success of the entire team, the effect on the team is always bad despite the quality of the squad
Paris Saint Germaine had a team of players who wanted to be individually recognized by world football and that was is why they weren't able to win the UEFA Champions League title. If Kylian Mbappe finally leaves, I wouldn't be surprised if PSG performs better than when he was still in the squad with Lionel Messi

The only reason why PSG have not been able to reach anywhere close to the champions league final is the greed among players in the team,Mbape and Neymar are both strouggling to be in control and as such,fighting over supremacy in the team.A coordinated team will only fight and strive hard in other for the team to get the best results,but the differences between players in that team won't let them get to where they are supposed to reach.They are supposed to be the second best team in Europe after Manchester city because they have all it takes to win the champions league.They have three best players in the world among their three(Messi,Neymar and Mbape)but they have not been able to reach expectations.
Now Messi has gone to another league,Mbape is thinking if leaving,while Neymar might also consider leaving too,and it might just be for the betterment of PSG because the way peoe thought they would dominate football is not the way it happened.

Looking at how things were going with the PSG team last season with the presence of Messi, Naymer and Mbappe, it is crystal clear that without Mbappe for the PSG team next season is really going to be difficult for PSG attack regardless of the players they are going to buy before the next season I think the presence of the star will really be missed because he has the force in the attack as he is regarded as one of the fastest players right now. Looking at the performance of PSG with Mbappe last season in the champions League, I think his performance was great but the team was not totally coordinated or well prepared for the champions League and the issues among the players in the team also  affected their performance so it was a team poor performance not a personal poor performance for him.

Psg are not going to win many trophies next season, the Ligue 1 is not a competitive league, so they may win it as they have been doing for a very long time, but psg are not going to win the champions league, even now that Luis Enrique is their manager. Before psg can win the champions league they must become an organized team, they only have top players playing for themselves individually, but as a team there is no unity, it is not possible to win the champions league with that kind of team.

His decision to reject the Saudi club side deal is a great and ideal decision for the young star. Mbappe still has much time to play by his age and moving to Al-Hilal at his peak would be a wrong timing. Mbappe is a fantastic forward and moving to Real Madrid next summer will give him the greater opportunity to win European titles like the UCL and also contesting as best in the world for ballon di'or and in Saudi his dream of achieving this goals can't be.

Am convince that 7-10 years from now if Mbappe still plays active football the Saudi club will still come for him, the likes of Ronaldo, kante etc are a good example. These are players that have won major titles in Europe before making a move away and Mbappe I believe is also thinking in same direction. It's not yet the right timing.

Most times it isn't always about the money. A young player like Mbappe wants to win trophies and mingle with the best of his time, not to go bond with Arab players who need the experience of age to advance football in the country.
Mbappe would eventually go where he wants to go and I don't think he would regret turning down the $700m deal because he earns as good, got the attention and press representation and he's young.

Definitely right and it is no surprise that he got started so well in the USA, but if you have seen the highlights of those two games he played now, it is the Messi we know. The smart passing that his whole team now needs to adapt to in the coming weeks and months, but also his sense to find the gap either as a striker himself or to give the perfect assist. He is a different level and he has always been because he has so many weapons in his inventory as a director of the game, but also as someone who can go straight towards the goal and attack only by himself. I will still miss him in the European Champions League though. The biggest games have always been a highlight exactly because of him. I don't know what would have to happen to see someone come close to him, but I think it won't happen again in my life. There is this talk about the player of the century and there are many people and even more opinions than there are people (), but for me he has been the best by far.

If Mbappe does move, it is undeniable that PSG's front line will experience a slight decrease in strength, because currently Mbappe is the strongest player that PSG can rely on. Even though there was still Neymar there, he suffered a pretty burdensome injury. but on the other hand, PSG are preparing several plans to find a strong striker as an alternative to Mbappe. Maybe they won't be as strong as Mbappe, but if they are fit and able to play optimally, then this will actually be good. But unfortunately, until now there has been no clarity regarding the desired new player bid.

I think he will regret his attitude in the future because at this moment he is so selfish and ignores the good attitude of the psg team. Even though Mbappe name has soared with PSG in several seasons but there is no thanks from him if we look at his attitude. Al Hilal offer was officially rejected by Mbappe because he did not want to join Al Hilal. Apart from that he only wants Real Madrid for his next career.

Seeing the increasingly complicated transfer situation, it seems that it will be quite difficult for PSG to sell Mbappe to another team in this transfer window apart from Real Madrid. But there has not been a meeting of the Real Madrid delegation to meet with PSG to discuss the transfer of Mbappe. So if Real Madrid chooses to remain silent in this transfer window, it means that Mbappe fate will be tossed around in this transfer window.

I agree with you because all this time PSG have prioritized Mbappe too much so that they have been disappointed by his attitude so that this has become a valuable lesson for the PSG Club to keep all of its players equal. The form of cohesiveness will occur when the team treats their players equally without having anything special. If you see the problems that you have, of course PSG are still strong enough if they sell Mbappe in this transfer window.

To be honest, I would like to see the PSG team be more mature in providing services to their players without having to look at their status as a privileged player. Yes, PSG can look for other stickers in this transfer window. Even Luis Enrique will be able to make the PSG team more compact with one target to achieve many trophies next season.

Right? I think that Messi is a player who will always make a difference, wherever he goes, he will create a dependency for the player and for the team because at any moment he makes a play that no one expects, and so on a free kick I think that PSG lost the compass by letting go of a Messi where they did not defend him as they should have, they preferred an Mbappé who at any moment goes to any team because he knows that alone he will not win anything, even the same league would be in danger 1, then the bad decisions by a sheik affect an entire team that at first believed they were going to win everything.


Well, obviously things happen the way the player wants them to, what I think is that a club cannot depend on a single player, things can be very different when it comes to establishing who is indispensable or not, Mbappé has always wanted do whatever he wants, PSG has pleased him in many ways, now that the club needs him he wants to leave, because he can't shine like before. If Mbappé had been more determined, he would have left the club last season and joined the white club, but he did not think so, he wanted to leave only when he wanted, and things in clubs are not like that, he gets older every time more and more, there are more young and highly talented players, I think that the era where everyone fought over him is passing.

I don't see the presence of this player in Madrid as necessary either, I think that Madrid with Vinicius and Rodrygo are going very well, the club has good players, they are not asking for someone so urgent as to fill in Benzema's hole, somehow the strategy must change for the club to continue to shine, everyone wanted Mbappé to replace Benzema's vacancy, but it is not like that.

BREAKING: Kylian Mbappe has REJECTED a move to Al Hilal

Mbappé already said no to the Arab team, will he regret it one day? I don't know, but it would make me laugh if he rejected him because of the hope he has with Madrid in the other season, if Madrid says no, I don't even want to imagine what the player will do, the position he is in is sad The player could have if that happens, because I say something, opportunities only present themselves once in a lifetime, and that's why you shouldn't waste them, if you let the train pass right now, when you want to catch it, you won't have a chance.

Mbvappé is a very good player, but I certainly don't like the attitudes he has taken , he thinks it's very important, and it's not the idea , a player has to be humble enough to be much more valued.

I think if Mbappe leaves, maybe PSG attacking performance can be better because they can play more as a team. Because anyway, it seems that last season was a lesson maybe, when PSG had star players and great players in attack line but in fact PSG could only win the title in Ligue 1 alone. So yes, if at this moment with Mbappe still in PSG's attack line but PSG is still poor in performance, especially in attack. Then maybe, completely overhauling it can be a breath of fresh air for the PSG squad to play fully with better teamwork because there is no social gap between players.

This is the truth eventually. It is hypocritical to say that Mbappe should prioritize his career over wealth, but this is not a discussion about a few hundred thousand dollars or the career, but about almost a billion dollars for a year and still the possibility to have a great career. He also has won many important things despite being so young. I get that the fans ask him to not go to Saudi as they cherish him and look up to him and probably don't have the ability to understand what is going on, but as you said literally nobody would reject an offer like that. Yes there are 0.000001% people in the world who could refuse the offer and still live a rich and happy life, but all of those who would hate Mbappe for saying yes would never be in his or similar shoes. I would really like to see a multi-millionaire, not a billionaire, to refuse an offer of 0.7 billion to play in Saudi Arabia for one year.

In theory PSG's quality will be very different if they lose Kylian Mbappe before next season starts. PSG are looking to sell him instead of letting him go at the end of next season or paying a high-value loyalty bonus for him, so for sure several approaches have been made. Some of the new players brought in will certainly increase the quality, but when they no longer have Kylian Mbappe, it is clear that the performance of the attack line will drop.

We can judge PSG's quality in theory especially when one of their best strikers leaves, but to say for sure is difficult. However PSG are working on getting a replacement striker as their new coach wants, it is a move in anticipation of Mbappe leaving in the near soon.

Indeed it should be like that, and yes PSG must overhaul their attack line to strengthen their squad, although PSG currently have a team which is not too bad. I also think so without Mbappe and also Neymar, PSG should still have a chance to get a UCL ticket, but considering Mbappe excellent performance at there, so PSG must find a good striker who has the same qualities as Mbappe. Although PSG currently have Asensio, but this man is not very suitable to replace Mbappe position.

Ronaldo believes in the same thing as well. He believes the Saudi Arabian league will get past the Turkish Super League and Eredivisie in the rankings in the near future. After that it will continue to get near become one of the most prestigious leagues. However I don't know about this yet. Because I think there is still something serious missing in this puzzle. Saudi Arabian teams still can't be a part of European tournaments such as the Champions League. I believe this is definitely important for a league to be more prestigious.

Of course I know the player quality is also increasing day by day. But I don't believe this is enough by itself. On the other hand there is a probability of UEFA to accept Saudi Arabian teams for their tournaments in the future. If this happens then the biggest obstacle ahead will be gone.

In fact, we can't measure PSG's strength map yet in the next season. if in the end Mbappe leaves, Enrique will find the ideal replacement. although it seems that it will be difficult to get players according to Mbappe's criteria, what is certain is that they will look for options according to the team's needs. I think that even though Mbappe remains with PSG, it does not guarantee that he will be able to help his club win the Champions League trophy. ideally, Enrique should bring in a few new arrivals that match the needs of his team.

Some rumors report that PSG are still interested in bringing in Bernaldo Silva, even though their first offer was rejected by City.
Some time ago, PSG were interested in Juventus striker, Dustan Vlahovic. but until now, there has been no concrete proposal offered by PSG. now, rumors suggest that PSG are also trying to hijack Hojlund from Manchester United by increasing their bid for Atalanta, as reported by Romano.
The point is, PSG is looking for an ideal player according to the needs of his team, especially for a center forward. also, it looks like Neymar will stay with PSG. even though he is often injured, he can still contribute to PSG.
well, this summer's transfer market still has enough time lag for PSG to hunt down some of the players they are after. by the way, IMO, Enrique's current task is to rebuild the PSG squad to be a better team than before.

A player telling even from a year away that he is not going to play in that team doesn't make sense to me. I mean I am not against players leaving, just that not too much common that we all know he will leave after the contract ends a year later.

In any case, Mbappe should figure out where he wants to play up next already, if he goes to Saudi league and then come back to Real Madrid he is going to have a very tough adjusting period, he will be playing against easy opponents there and then suddenly play against the best in the world. That type of setback will cause him to not be that great, it is going to cause the teams to not really have trust in him. I bet that he is thinking about that as well, lets see what happens.

in fact, even without the two of them (mbappe and neymar) PSG has a great chance of getting the UCL, just look at what inter and man city have done, these two teams only have a few expensive players but they can reach the UCL final. if PSG don't want to only be strong in the local league but also in the champions league then they really have to do a squad overhaul and can start with overhauling their front line after that to improve their midfield because I think PSG's back line is really good.
