I think PSG needs to make some big changes for the next season. Because PSG is the type of team they are, they need to have the ability to do something amazing in next season's Champions League.

Enrique is highly appreciated for his experience and outstanding achievements with the treble with Barca in 2015. His personality and management skills also match the current PSG, where there are "big stars" and rebels like Mbappe, Neymar, and Marquinhos. When he first arrived at PSG, Enrique was famous for his tough management style. That's why before signing with PSG, coach Luis Enrique asked the board to give him full power. Over the years, PSG has been known for its internal conflicts. The team's dressing room is always divided when there are too many outstanding personalities. So Enrique wants to restore order. No one can beat the team's head coach.

On the other hand, Luis Enrique does an excellent job of training young people and fits the new strategy of PSG after Messi.

It's possible that for PSG's round they might fail, therefore I won't make bets from the start of the match and will place bets when the match is underway so that my predictions are more on target. Certainly PSG will struggle even more for next season and I agree with what you said, considering that this newly built team is still in the adaptation stage. On the other hand, who is likely to be side by side with PSG, of course, that possibility is still the same, namely Lens because last season they managed to make the competition to win the Ligue 1 title even more exciting.

Real Madrid have to balance between the transfer cost they pay to PSG and the salary they will have to pay to Mbappe. Because they know Mbappe wants to join them and PSG no longer have control on the player. The very last barrier for the transfer is Real Madrid must convince Mbappe to sacrifice a little bit of his high salary if he wants to join Real Madrid in this summer.

It can be an offer to increase the player salary gradually year by year and I think it is a best solution for Real Madrid and Mbappe.

PSG does not want to keep Neymar but they can not easily sell him. The player wants to get very high salary and he already won Champions League with Barcelona so he only lack of Balon d'Or and don't have many reasons to leave PSG and join another club which gives him lower salary.

Less than 1 year for mbappe. Neymar is still long way to go. PSG is trying to defend mbappe to stay even longer in the club but mbappe has been refusing it. There's no thing that can be done by PSG now.
PSG can only try to give mbappe a chance to pick which was best from him. PSG has been sending ultimatum so many times for him but he is not able to deciding it. I meant mbappe is not even trying to accept psg's offer to leave from the club.

PSG is trying so hard to push him join in real madrid but madrid was not stupid enough to buy mbappe this time, madrid needs to spend a lot of money to get him from PSG. i can't even understand what mbappe is thinking right now.  Mbappe is trying to stay till his contract gonna expire.
He is missing a golden chance to join in real madrid and he is not trying to fool PSG. My guess if mbappe has been planning his own agenda by rejecting PSG's offer and wanna say till he can leave with free agent.

It will be so good for real madrid if the club will able to get him for free. Madrid will not need to spend more than €200 m just to buy him only.

As far as I know from Enrique he just worked in the Spanish teams like the Barcelona and Spania national teams and as you said he is not experienced in the French teams or other leagues ut this can't be the reason to say Enrique can't get anything. with the experience of Enrique in champions league I can this time PSG can have more chance to finally get something in this tournament.

As expected of a new manager who's never managed a French club before in his managerial career,  Luis Enrique will not hit the ground running immediately. There so many things he'll have to learn about French Football that's he's yet to know.
But with time, Enrique will groom his Paris Saint Germaine team in to one of best in Europe while also conquering France. Enrique's style of total isn't common in France and that is another factor that I think will make him not have an easy start to his PSG reign.

If we look at PSG with the departure of Sergio Ramos Lionel Messi, and 80% of Mbappe leaving PSG, Neymar will probably stay. I see the positive side with the absence of star players who are held in high esteem which can make it easier for Luis Enrique to concoct his tactics, the equality of players is the key to success next season. Because in my opinion, PSG's mistakes in previous seasons were not solid and not compact. They only depend on star players so they don't have an identity when playing. Apart from that, star players also make coaches unable to unify playing styles because coaches don't dare to be hard on star players.

Of course, there is no such thing as a team that can immediately succeed in the Champions League. Just take an example like Chelsea and Man City, which, before being taken over by rich Russian businessmen and rich Arabs, these teams also need a process. The important thing is to be consistent first, and give Enrique the opportunity to build long-term strength.

I think Luis Enrique will have a good start to the season; i believe the PSG team will be under the spotlight and this will help the coach build his team and push for the ligue title win again. The coach has got young talents pool to work with and also; good incoming signings in Ascensio and Guarte etc.

The question will be, will PSG will the French ligue title again? easily or tight gaps?

Too me PSG dosent look good this season like they did in the previous ones. I think that they will struggle a lot so i wont place any bets in the first couple of rounds on PSG. Firstly want to see how they will play. I dont know what other teams made big transfers so this league is really unknown. Wonder who will finish on top next to PSG.

Yes but being the fifth best league sounds better than it is. If a player is the top world class in the business, that player should never choose the fifth best league for competitive reasons. it was easy to see that almost everyone was only waiting for the Champions League games and other than that, not a lot of people followed PSG unless they were real fans. That was the same for me. I found it only interesting to see PSG play against a top team in the group stage or against any team in the knockout stage, but other than that it wasn't that interesting to see what they are doing against most of the teams in Ligue 1.

I am also actually not expecting too much from PSG this season. There are a lot of problems going on in the team. It will take a good enough time for them to fix this. The club is going through a rebuilding process right now. So it is going to be hard for them to actually do well in this season. A lot of important players are leaving the team. Having those players was not enough for PSG to win anything other than the Ligue 1 title. So expecting anything more from PSG in the upcoming season is going to be a foolish expectation.

Now it's time to see how PSG will organize the team next season. The club did not succeed in what it had planned for the Champions League. Messi is now in another team, Mbappe no longer wants to stay, all in all, the owner of the PSG team is very worried.

It's definitely worth watching PSG's opening match in Ligue 1 in August and I can't wait to place my bet on PSG's first win.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that Luis Enrique's expertise can certainly make PSG better without dependence on top players. At the moment we will still see Neymar and Mbappe as the remaining star players (unless neither leave this summer) and we will see refreshments on all fronts with the arrival of other experienced players and young talent. Maybe I don't have to worry about the coordination of the players later on the field so that the series of attacks or defenses will be tighter.

Enrique will do it, that's why, he accepted the offer to become the new PSG boss and replace Galtier. with the reputation and track record he has, at least Enrique deserves to be given the opportunity to bring PSG even better. whether it works or not, we'll see. So, let time speak. Regarding Mbappe, we agree that it is not his responsibility. whether he will stay, or even if he ends up leaving in this summer's transfer window. however, Enrique will feel the impact if in the end this drama doesn't take place as it should. I mean, if Mbappe sticks to his stance he won't renew a new contract. that means, PSG cannot force him to be sold to another club. except, if Mbappe is willing to join a club that wants to sign him. and as we know, the only thing Mbappe wants is Real Madrid.

Well, the drama of the Mbappe transfer saga really caught the attention of football lovers.
IMO, the worst thing is if there is no agreement. PSG will make Mbappe a substitute player, without even getting a minute of playing time. but, I'm sure this will not happen. ideally, PSG would negotiate with Mbappe and his representatives.
Speaking of Neymar, so far I haven't heard many rumors about him. maybe, Neymar will stay. on the other hand, now PSG is trying to bring in some potential newcomers. in fact, one of their targets was Benardo Silva. also, several other players. that means Enrique knows exactly what he has to do. so, let's see and wait for what PSG will display in the 2023/2024 season.

I also think like you, Enrique with PSG certainly won't be easy and I believe that this season PSG will be even more difficult to win the Champions League, this makes Enrique also burdened with a definite Champions League target. Because in the last two seasons PSG have had three strikers hungry for goals and assists, but lack a capable midfielder and defender. Finally it is very easy to concede and lose, and do not have a seasoned coach.

And this season PSG's strength has actually diminished, due to the loss of Lionel Messi as a playmaker, and the possibility of losing Mbappe as well, despite the arrival of an experienced coach like Enrique, the players who arrived did not show their quality at the previous club.

Yes, I see Luis Enrique's statistics since he get the job of coaching the football team, he has various achievements and awards include winning the European Champions Cup and the UEFA Champions League. Besides that, let's try to look back a little before Enrique coach Paris Saint Germain, he was the coach of the Spanish national team. During the 2019-22 coach period, Enrique was consider to have failed in several important competitions such as the 2022 World Cup and the 2020 European Cup. We hope that with Enrique's experience, he can help Paris Saint Germain win the Champions League, for example.

At least PSG for next season has a head coach who is used to coaching many star players in his squad, both at the La Liga club and also being the coach of the Spanish national team. So yes, I personally do not doubt the quality of Luis Enrique to be able to give the best for PSG. But even so, I personally still can't expect too much for PSG's achievements in the Champions League because of course, to get better in the Champions League at least Luis Enrique also still needs time.

The Ligue 1 is losing its popularity and strength among the other European teams lately. I have seen a ranking change for this league and it has dropped down more in quality. PSG are like the team that have been keeping this league alive with building a great squad full of great names and star players like Mbappe, Neymar and Messi especially.

But Messi has left now and as you said Mbappe is also leaving sooner or later. PSG can lose quite many people from their fans after their stars continue to leave one by one also. In the end PSG are this much successful in the Ligue 1 due to having the best squad quality by far. If it drops down significantly the gap will be closed more and their dominance level could decrease in time.

But of course they are still a very rich team so I can't imagine them getting that weak anytime.
