Imagine you are the owner of PSG and you spent lots of money on this team and in return they couldn't get the good results you wanted to see, I think you won't invest in this team anymore because they made an investment and they failed.
That's why it's not even surprising to seethe the owner of PSG spends less money.

I think that even taking into account the loss of Messi and the potential loss of Neymar in the squad, Paris Saint-Germain is obliged to take the championship title in France with a margin. And so, yes, you definitely need to strengthen if PSG still wants to win the coveted Champions League. I would not exaggerate so much for the fact of Messi's departure, because strictly speaking, the club simply served as a kind of incubator for Lionel to finally win his coveted World Cup title and also pump up his personal statistics on effective actions in European championships, but globally for what he was called into the team, the goal was not fulfilled and maybe it's even for the best that Messi has gone to the MLS and now PSG can build their game exclusively around Mbappe.

PSG will consolidate the team and they have enough funds to do so essentially after the departure of Messi and Ramos from Paris. There is Neymar that seems to be attracted by Saudis since his return to Barcelona is rejected by Xavi. Well I believe everyone in Barcelona will not accept his return that easily..

Paris Saint Germaine in my opinion squandered the opportunity of winning the UEFA Champions League title with a squad that was considered as the best in the world in terms of quality and standard.
They didn't achieve that great feat because they lacked a manager who could possibly find the best playing style that would bring out the best of Neymar, Mbappe and Lionel Messi. Messi is gonna leave this summer so is Sergio Ramos with Neymar uncertain about his future which means it'll take a huge investment again for the club to restore such quality to their side

I also think so, although Mbappe is a good player but he can't fight alone, and PSG must recruit a few more players to strengthen their front line. Unfortunately, I haven't found any other rumors regarding Messi replacement, but I hope PSG find a suitable replacement for their UCL targets because next season won't be easy for PSG.

Next season for PSg can be a nightmare if they don't get alternative players for any player they are going to lose, like Messi and Neymar because during this season even with see players they failed to get the results they wanted to get in French League and they failed in champions league however PSG won the French League title but the fact about PSG is they should start seeking for a new coach to gather a stronger team for the next season.
However, they will need to invest even more than this season for the next season to rebuild the team.

I think there is still hope for PSG to create a dream team next season and it's just a matter of how the club's management manages it in the summer. Messi's departure will indeed be the main focus for the Paris capital team and until now Messi's departure still leaves a hole. Neymar is also not in top shape because he has not recovered 100% from injury and maybe Mbappe is PSG's only hope for next season.

After winning the world cup, Messi's passion for European football has indeed disappeared and at the age of 35 he should still be able to play at a European club for up to 1 or 2 seasons, but he prefers to enjoy life at the end of his retirement by joining Inter Miami. We know that no matter how much Messi dribbles on the field, hard tackles from opposing players will always be a problem and indeed it is a bit risky to be prone to injury one day.

The most important rumor is about Galtier because I think they hired enough players in this season and they couldn't get good results, that's why I think they are seeking for alternative for Galtier, and Zidane is on top of the list.



Yes, Mbappe is a talented player and he could maybe have a better situation if he joined Real Madrid instead of extending his contract with PSG because there Real Madrid he could have a better chance to achieve more goals.

The fit is important because in a club it is not just the players that are looked at but the coaches also need to be noticed.
Last season their players, as you said, were so luxurious but the coach's authority was very little in this matter which made even if they continued to force the results in the end the same nothing changed because the players are good but without good tactics it will remain ordinary.

Messi is a great player and makes a great contribution to the team regardless of his age. He was a name that everyone respected. But winning the Champions League is a very difficult thing, PSG didn't perform well enough and we didn't watch them in the semi-finals.
From now on we will watch younger players in Napoli. The absence of Messi will not cost the team much, we all know that there has been an uneasy atmosphere in the team in recent months

PSG's spending spree, in contrast with their subpar performance, seems as mismatched as a bird at a fish party. Messi's situation in PSG is a stark reminder that the best of players can struggle under unqualified management. Galtier's public admission about struggling to tap into Messi's potential exemplifies this issue. The role of a competent coach, as you aptly pointed out, cannot be undermined.

It's indeed true that Ligue 1 falls short in terms of competition when juxtaposed with the Premier League. While PSG may dominate their domestic league with their galaxy of stars, the real test of their mettle comes at the continental level, where they've been underwhelming. Perhaps the likes of Newcastle are indeed in a better position to compete given the rigorous competition they face week in, week out.

It's not impossible that their followers on social media will also leave apart from the departure of the players
It's really difficult for PSG in this case because they always try to look for the best but it only backfires because the performance of players who have come out of the golden era is forced to not go well either.
As for Messi, even though in this case he is going to America and not in Europe again for next season, I can't say much, especially with the benefits he gets from his new club.

PSG is not a balanced team. They might have the best attackers in the world. But they certainly do not have the best midfield or even defense. They have a lot of money. I do not understand why they just do not get players for all the positions. Obviously, they can afford to do that. They should have done that two seasons ago. They had the best attacking lineup and probably with a good defense and midfield trophy.

Now they will have to make a big change all around the squad. With all the good players that they had leaving it is going to be much more harder for them to get a squad like they had again in my opinion.

He couldn't destroy anyone even in Ligue 1 playing for the super dominant club PSG lol. If Inter from Miami doesn't buy a few more top players to ensure midfield dominance, then Messi will play in stealth mode (as he usually does in important games).
As for PSG, if they choose the right strategy (like City, for example), then their era will come - they have endless money and with a simple enumeration of players, they can sooner or later assemble a super-dominant team.

it can be said that the decision taken by Messi to prefer MLS was quite wise. what else can messi expect at PSG, he is no longer appreciated by PSG fans for failing to bring PSG to win the UCL trophy even though he has worked hard for it, maybe we will also hear news about Neymar moving to another team but for mbappe it looks like he will stay at PSG until some time in the future maybe.

First season with PSG, Lionel Messi have played 26 games with 6 goals and contributed 16 assists in Ligue 1 then his appearance in Champion League played 7 games and scoring 5 goals. But Lionel Messi has good performance on second season with PSG from 32 games in Ligue 1 success scoring 16 goals and has 16 assists.

But losing Messi is not over for PSG because since two season Lionel Messi joined PSG he can't bring great achievement in Champion League, without Messi, PSG won Ligue 1 and French Cup and signing Messi they want Champion League tittle but failed. Lionel Messi have leave PSG and Asensio is the first signing in this season for replacing Messi position, lets see how consistent or better performance from PSG next season in Champion League.

There was no direct contact with Zidane, his side told RMZ Sport. Zidane's camp have denied any contact with Paris Saint-Germain as ZZ reportedly turned down the PSG manager's job, reported by Fabrizio Romano.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Zidane would turn down any club's offer to take over as manager. well, we are talking on the PSG side. first, Zidane wants the privilege to manage and bring in the players he likes. secondly, Zidane doesn't like it when SPG management or bosses are involved in signing players. I mean, it's all up to Zidane's wishes. thirdly, PSG did not have good progress because they were handled by management who were not handled by competent people.
Well, now we compare it with the City. City, however, have good management and have full faith in the coach they brought in, despite rumors of FFP problems. I mean, they're signing players that the team and the coach really need. and this, was not done by PSG.

Now we refer to Conte, as we all know, Conte has a problem with the Spurs owner. what causes it, none other than because he was not given many choices according to his wishes. which in the end, Conte was removed. well, the question is whether PSG will prioritize Conte. it seems, they will refer more to Nagelamann. besides being young, talented, Nagelsmann is not the type of coach who defies his superiors, he tends to try to match his team with the philosophy of modern football. that's why Julian Nagelsmann is predicted to be the ideal choice.

By the way, this is only based on my personal point of view. so there is a wrong word, please understand. and for sure, we can't say for sure who will replace Galtier in the next season.

I do not think that PSG will be all that bad just because they are losing Messi, he wasn't the only person that made them good and won't be the reason why they may become bad. First of all, they barely won the title anyway, and they lost UCL as well, so it wasn't some epic season for them neither, and that's why I wouldn't say that it matters all that much. Secondly, I feel like we should be focusing on who they are going to get, if they get someone better than they will be fine. They still have 24 year old Mbappe, Marquinhos, Hakimi, Mendes, Donnaruma, Kimpembe. '

These are all great players they can win UCL with, and they just need to find players for other positions instead. Neymar is still there officially but I am expecting him to leave as well, that should be easy enough to see.

Yes absolutely and that is why the soccer world would actually prefer sheikhs to pour their money into a club in the Premier League rather than in Ligue 1. At least the fans get to see a lot of highly competitive games then. Imagine what a waste it would be when Haaland also went to PSG. What a waste is it right now that we can't watch Mbappe in the Premier League or in a Spanish clasico? In my opinion it is really a waste and taking away excitement from the fans. It's ok when they go to those clubs in their mid 30s, but Mbappe at his peak playing in Ligue 1 is too bad.

If you are aware, that PSG has good players in every line or in every position from goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and strikers. But for some reason, PSG still doesn't have a consistent strong performance until the end, and so the problem PSG have is not about their players but about the coach and maybe also the management that is not right. Also, even though PSG will lose several star players and recruit other great players, but if the coach and management are not handled properly, then the result will be the same.
