Patience is important but we must admit that Pep Guardiola has a very better CV from Barcelona to Bayern Munich and Galtier has a worse CV from his coach career. In addition, Pep Guardiola helped Manchester City to dominate Premier League in the last 6 seasons and gradually improved their performance in Champions League. Galtier in contrast, had a very bad season in Ligue 1 with PSG even they won that title. It is not good enough to convince any people including PSG fans.

Results in the past season are not good enough to support Galtier to be a coach of PSG in a new season. They are very rich and it's right to put your belief on a coach but it must be a good coach who can help you to harvest titles after a few seasons. I know there are some coaches who come from nothing to legendary reputation like Sacchi in Milan, Pep in Barcelona, Zidane in Real Madrid. So if PSG has enough patience and belief in Galtier, they can bet on him.

I'm not saying that Galtier is a specialist of such a high level that Paris Saint-Germain needs and which is guaranteed to lead the club to the Champions League title, but it's time for the club to finish with the coaching leapfrog, decide on the candidacy of the head coach and then entrust him with the leadership of the team for several years. Nevertheless, the example of Guardiola, who was given to lead the team for seven years and patiently endured local failures in the Champions League, should become an exemplary example for the impatient owners of Paris Saint-Germain.

Galtier already sacked by PSG at the beginning of this month. I think that there's no need to do something about him.

Even napoli has seen him as a potential candidate to be a new coach for napoli. PSG is now still looking to sign a new player. Have you read the latest update regarding him?

So many news about PSG sacked galtier already published in the various sites.

There is still no action taken about Galtier by PSG. This season can't be counted as successful for him no matter how much he says that it was a good one. Winning the Ligue 1 title is an easy peasy achievement for PSG with a huge strength gap like this with the other teams. As long as they can't be competitive for the Champions League title and win it there is nothing that much admirable.

Maybe PSG haven't made up their mind about Mourinho yet and they are looking into some other candidates as well. But the earlier they finish the rumours about this manager change topic the better for them. While PSG are on the verge of losing Mbappe as well they need to make their choices more carefully from now on. Otherwise the Champions League title will be only in their dreams.

That's true but speculation can't be avoided. As you can see that if people will be seeing it as a signal if mbappe is interesting to join in another club especially real madrid which has been always linked with him since the previous season.
Madrid has no progress in signing him as a new player right now. What i know that if madrid is now trying to see his progress with PSG.
It seems like that madrid will not buy him even though PSG will be selling him in summer. PSG really needs money right now. PSG lost a lot from messi and neymar. The club is willing to recover at least some money from selling bellingham.



It's caused by real madrid may not be willing to spend a lot of money to get him again. Manchester united has very big ambition to sign mbappe once PSG will announce to sell him in summer. It's all still speculation.
That's why we shall wait for another news that may come in coming days.

For superstars like Mbappe, it's important to be a team where they can have a better chance to win the champions league with their team. While they didn't have what they came for and on the other hand Mbappe got better offers from other teams like Real Madrid obviously he won't accept to stay in PSG for more years He is still young and he can have amazing offers.
That's normal to see Mbappe even leaving PSG in this situation.

PSG still have issues with winning a Champions League title even in Mbappe's presence. They have even built a dream trio to reach this goal finally but because of a wrong manager choice they couldn't make it once again. After these failures I wouldn't be surprised if PSG just let go of like all of those players including Mbappe.

Of course PSG don't just want to part their ways with Mbappe. Unlike that they are ready to do whatever is needed to keep him at the team for at least a couple of more years. But they had better start looking for a replacement for Mbappe already now. Because if Mbappe becomes insistent on not going on with Mbappe they will need a really solid player to fill his place.

I mean it isn't easy to find this kind of special players who are candidates to be legends one day. Aside from that if PSG feel like they can't convince Mbappe for an extension then it would be the best for them to make way for Mbappe to leave this summer not to let him go for free.

So far Mbappe has not justified his desire to join Real Madrid next season, but he has only said he will not extend his contract which will expire at the end of the season. This would be a strong signal that Mbappe could leave PSG anywhere, that also includes Real Madrid who have tried to sign him in recent seasons.

I just can't understand why Real Madrid tend to stay quiet and calm in situations like this, I think this is a good opportunity to reach some agreements with Mbappe. I don't know if they have, but nothing concrete about this rumor yet.

The national team of England is not one of the best in my opinion. And another thing is, they are a little too dependent on Harry Kane. I understand that he is a great player. But as long as they are going to depend on him they are not going to find success. They will have to be good as a team. Of course, English Premier League is the best in the world right now. It does not mean England will be able to create the best national team in football.

In France, the league competition is not going to be interesting as long as the other teams are not getting bought by some rich guy.

What is next for Ligue 1 ? I mean , a lot of stars will leave France football in this summer and I don't see a lot to join in return. Why ? Well , simply because the internal football of France had a solid project but it kinda failed internationally because no club achieved anything in the last years for France but if we take a look on their national squad , we can say only good and great things about them so there is a huge gap right now between what a France player can do , no matter the club and what Ligue 1 is offering to them regarding strong internal competition because this is the first key towards international success...to make your internal championship as strong and tight as you can.

EPL did this and still doing this in order to get competition as strong as possible and I wouldn't be surprise if England wins next WC.

To me, the issue with Mbappe at PSG is tricky. The club might sell him for cash, but they aren't desperate for it. Remembering the hefty €180m they spent to bring him from Monaco, him leaving for free stings. Selling him for around €100-120m might be smart, especially if he doesn't extend his contract till 2025. PSG could recover some initial money and buy new talent. While Mbappe is talented, he isn't quite at Messi's level at 24.

It's not a question of being young or old but as long as he doesn't want to reduce his salary I still feel that when big clubs are in doubt then indeed the next alternative is a rich club and that is in the Arab League region which is always very brave to bid with very big salaries.
Indeed, for now there are still big clubs in the EPL who are trying to make some negotiations but that is always hindered when Neymar's request for a salary is indeed very large and difficult to be able to afford with his current performance.
He can still be and is still said to be young enough to be in big competitions but as long as he is still selfish with a salary that always has to be the same but is not too aware of his declining performance then this is indeed difficult for Neymar.
At least the price and salary must match the performance given and Neymar will not be able to provide that with his injury-prone condition and his growing age.

Now PSG should be aware that age also cannot lie. Even though Ramos is indeed one of the best defenders and Messi is also a goat, players whose careers are already at the end of their career must be aware that big competitions cannot be won like that.
Signing Asensio is quite good in my opinion, he is young and still has potential but regardless of what condition they are in now, chasing the Champions League will still be difficult as it seems because there is still a lot of space for big players but the gap and their communication sometimes doesn't work well in the season previously.

Comparing PSG to Manchester City is silly. But both had perhaps the strongest squads this season. But Manchester City's coach was Guardiola. He was very experienced. But PSG coach Christophe Galtier was not very experienced. In a competitive platform like the Champions League, it is impossible to get good results without an experienced coach. PSG should hire an experienced coach if they want to win the Champions League title.

Neymar is without a doubt one of the best players in the world. Neymar's dribbling impresses everyone. But Neymar's fitness is not good. On the other hand, his wages are very high. And so no club will be interested in paying high wages to add an injury-prone player to the squad.

Its not easy for winning Champion League tittle with PSG, indeed Ramos has playing well but he can't help PSG for good achievement since two season become PSG squad. Sergio Ramos has won all tittle in career from exactly won 4 Champion League tittle but I don't sure after leaving PSG in time for him retired from football. Right now is time for him try another challenge by joining Saudi Pro League or move to MLS competition for one or two years left due he has been 37 years old.

For PSG losing several main players in their squad required for finding new replacement, Sergio Ramos position have been filled by new recruitment Manuel Ugarte and waiting for new signing on forward position after success recruiting Asensio.

Yes, can be said like that, indeed experience is very important and PSG never won a UCL trophy, also UCL competition the previous season was extraordinary. Even, also Real Madrid who have a lot of experience can knocked out by Manchester City, but at that time the condition of Real Madrid was also not fine. Yep, no one will brave to buy an injured player whose price is as high as Neymar, even though he is a great player but if he gets injured it is useless, because he probably won't be able to make a good contribution in every match.

I think it's not about "needing" money, I think it is being screwed financially when you don't have to, basically just like getting scammed at that point, just because you are rich doesn't mean that you would want to be scammed. Mbappe could be sold for 100+ million, do you think a single season of Mbappe worths more than 100+ million?

I do not think so, I think he worths as much as 50-60 million at most for a single season, probably not even as much but inflation made these salaries go up, however not twice that much and they could make twice that amount. Then they could use that money to buy another player, which would be fine for them. So they need to convince him to leave, I am sure Madrid would be willing to pay, just sit Mbappe down and explain him that he will play his childhood dream team.

It's a lot of money and most of these players are leaving from the club with free transfer which are very bad for PSG at this moment. In my opinion that if PSG must try to buy the cheap players instead of always wasting money to buy the super stars in the football.
There's no guarantee if the super star will able to give a better result compared with ordinary player. The management must have learned from their mistakes. They must try to sign world class coach rather than try to wasting money to sign the super star in the football.
I will prefer to see PSG to be handled by a coach like mourinho rather than seeing another messi to come to the club.
It's caused by the coach was giving the biggest impact to the club. It seems like that the management was forgetting this. I think that if it's gonna be a very good thing to see PSG to hire a good coach as soon as possible.

Therefore, with his old age it is time for Ramos to retire and or, if Ramos chooses to continue his career then playing in the Saudi Professional League is the right choice. Because the most important thing at this moment is of course to have a big income, because Ramos already has a lot of awards too and it's the same path with Ronaldo. But yes, if Ramos is really going to play in the Saudi Professional League then Ronaldo, Benzema and Ramos will be competing because they will not be on the same team.

Yes, you're right, it's better to see Ramos join the Saudi league, considering that he is already 37 years old, there are certainly not many choices of competitive clubs that are suitable for Ramos. But that doesn't mean Ramos needs to hang up his boots or retire immediately. On the other hand, with the big name and experience that Ramos has, he has a big chance of getting to a club outside Europe.

As written in several media, Ramos was found to have put a like sign on a post by an Instagram user recently and in the upload it was stated that Ramos and Real Madrid player, Luka Modric were suggested to join the Saudi Arabian club, Al-Ahli. Indeed, until now Ramos has not made any statement regarding this matter. It's just that, seeing the aggressiveness of Saudi Arabian clubs lately, a move to Al-Ahli is not an inevitability for Ramos. but let's see later where Ramos will choose the continuation of his career.
