Since being left by Sergio Ramos at the end of last season, the PSG center back position has become vacant and therefore PSG is expected to be able to find a replacement for next season's competition. Today it is reported that PSG have reached an agreement with Lucas Hernandez from Bayern Munich and this has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. I think Lucas Fernandez is a tough defender and there is no doubt about his quality. For a transfer fee around 50 million euros and I think that price is still quite affordable for PSG. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the official announcement from PSG and I think this time PSG will try to start building a new squad for the coming season by bringing in a few more players.

but there are rumors that many PSG fans don't like Lucas Hernandez. wouldn't that be bad for Lucas Hernandez's career at PSG in the future. we can see how PSG fans are not nice to Messi when he failed to bring PSG in the Champions League. whatever the reason, hopefully Lucas Hernandez and PSG fans can reconcile soon. however playing with intimidation from the fans themselves will not feel comfortable.

It has been discuss before and why PSG doesn't choose Mourinho as new manager because they know Mourinho pattern is the manager with defensive style and his tactic was so bored and not entertain many people so that's why although probably Mourinho will considering the offers from PSG if they choose them but PSG owner doesn't want to see this team will play with parked bus for each matches

Some people will argue that Mourinho is a better option but I will not want Mourinho in my team at this point in his career. Actually, at no point in Mourinho's career would I have loved him at my club.
He's too defensive. I know he's sticking to what works for him and that is cool, but I just do not enjoy that pattern of football. PSG were lucky they did not sign him because they wouldn't have loved it later on.
I hope Enrique can replicate his Barcelona performance at PSG and be a success for PSG.

Lens had a really impressive season and finished way ahead of Marseille in the second place. It has been a long time since they joined the Champions League group stage as well. The last time was in the 2002/2003 season. They can't be seen as completely experienced in there but after this long break it is still hard to expect anything from them.

Besides Lens are likely to lose some of their important players recently. Seko Fofana might leave the team as far as I have heard. He was one of the players who played a serious role in Lens' success in the league this season. Lens need to keep the squad quality as decent as possible if they want to finish the group as the third the worst case scenario.
where did you hear this rumour? because as far as I know there are no rumors regarding Seko Fofana leaving Lens.
on the one hand Seko Fofana is the best player Lens has and has talent that coach Lens can rely on for several seasons and I think Lens will not let Seko Fofana leave this team. with his young age Seko Fofana still has a very good chance at Lens and Franck Haise I think Seko Fofana still needs to strengthen in the summer. because in the summer there will be a lot of breakdowns for almost all teams so there is a possibility of an increase in the performance of each team, that's for sure so that Lens will retain Seko Fofana.

Luis Enrique is expected to be announced as the new PSG coach in a short time. Mourinho's name was also among the serious candidates but it looks like they didn't make an offer to him. He was actually open to an offer from PSG as he was looking positive about a move there. But staying at Roma mustn't also be feeling bad for Mourinho as he has been ready to continue working for them. It is difficult to say which one of these coaches would be the best choice for PSG yet.

Both of them have really decent careers so I hope Enrique can be really beneficial for PSG especially in the Champions League. Because PSG want a title winner there to manage the team to achieve the same success. There are just differences in game plan but I assume PSG would work this out at the end of the day.
Yes, we can't compare these coaches as both are having own negatives and positives as well with the best thing both have good achievements and Mourinho is doing good job at AS Roma with now Luis Enrique is good choice for the PSG specially after they are now offloading many superstars and trying to have changes in team as well which will helps new coach for having players of his own choice which will also increase quality and performance which will help them for competing into Ligue 1 after few years things will be completely change, and we will be able to have good fight between top clubs.

But if PSG lost Mbappé and few more top players then surely they can face troubling time as well because this is never been good to lose all top players quickly mostly this creates good mess-up in teams, and they can face problems with this all as well.

It seems PSG is also losing Verratti and their Italian player is the next target for Al Hilal while he is still under contract with PSG and has three years left before his contract to get expired but Verratti is going to play for the Saudi team if they pay enough money to PSG. Al Hilal sent some of the agents to Paris to have negotiate with PSG. While I think Verratti is happy to leave PSG and play in the Arabian teams to earn more.
Marco Verratti is one of the best midfielders in PSG with very long association which helps them for having good achievements even he still can spend three more years due to his contract, but huge offers can create problems for the PSG with he is already in negotiations and wants to go Saudi Arab for few years which can bring good salary and other bonuses for him Al-Hilal which was looking for the Messi and then Neymar now having third target in PSG and now their agents are in talk hopefully he will also leave this club and have his new journey in next season with things can be more troubling because they need to have some good replacements after losing their first choice many players specially now having trouble time with their main player as well.

There was no more name for PSG manager unless Luis Enrique this because PSG have made a choice for this coach and they only want Enrique and reported PSG will announce him to the public in the near future but Enrique will faced the challenge whether Enrique can able to control Mbappe or not but Neymar has been cooperate with Enrique before while at Barcelona and maybe under him Neymar can able to find his shape again
Luis Enrique for a fact is a manager with successful managerial records and surely he's gonna make a good manager for Paris Saint Germaine if he's finally unveiled as their manager.
However it is Undoubtedly clear that Jose Mourinho would have made a better manager if he was given the chance to manage PSG. Jose Mourinho isn't just a great manager with unprecedented managerial records but he's also a manager that's very good in man-management. If Mourinho becomes the manager of PSG, he'll would've easily made Mbappe to see reasons why he can win whatever he wishes to win in football with PSG. I think it's PSG's loss not to go for Jose

I don't think the problem is the price but whether Mbappe is willing to play in the Europa League next season? If Mbappe is willing to go down a level then I don't think price is an issue as long as they or Liverpool are able and willing to spend that kind of money. So yes, even though it is a true rumor but still, I personally don't believe Mbappe will accept Liverpool's offer. Because at this moment it seems that Mbappe is not prioritizing money, because at PSG Mbappe also has a large income. So yes, at this moment Mbappe should have chosen a team that has a big chance to dominate the domestic league and also the Champions League.
No man. 300 million is genuinely too much for one player. And of course, there is always an underlying fear that he might not be able to perform as well as his shirt when he actually does come into the team. And why get him for 300 million when in the next season he is going to be a free transfer? Just give him a huge amount of money as a salary then.

But honestly, I don’t think this is actually real news. I don’t think any club is actually going to pay 300 million for him, especially when he's going to be a free agent in the next season.  But if Liverpool is actually offering that type of money, which is very unlikely, because I don’t think I have seen Liverpool offering that type of money for any player in recent times, I think PSG should sell him and also Mbappé should join Liverpool.
Even no doubt about this Mbappé can join Liverpool but with the amount like this $300 Million I am not agreed with this because Liverpool have history of not spending amount like this in their history and in current situation they will never do anything like this which bring them in deep troubles in financials in last summer they sell Sadio Mané just because of his high demanded salary and now how can they spend amount like this and then give him huge salary which will surely disturb their budget and not guaranteed of having expected results.

Second factor is now Liverpool is not in Champions League for the one season, so he will also not love to play in Europa Cup as he can achieve better things from many other clubs in current season, but now just one year left and PSG management having serious issues regarding him how things will be ended it's not clear about his future.

PSG is looking forward to working with their new manager, which is undoubtedly fantastic news for Parisians and their followers; now is the time to witness top performance from this equipped team. The Parisians have already finalised paperwork and agreements with Luis Enrique, who will be announced PSG's next head coach soon. Although the good news is delayed since Christophe Galtier has yet to relinquish his post as manager, any further delay beyond this week, he will face some petitional fines, he will leave Parc des Princes and, by July 1st, Luis Enrique will take over.

Neymar's future is also unclear for this transfer window. It looks like PSG might have to go for a rebuild this summer as they have started to lose their important players. First Messi has left and now Neymar is also likely to do so. I don't know where Neymar's next station would be though. There isn't any offer in Europe for now.
Neynmar won't leave from PSG. He has no choice other than stay caused by his main plan back to the barcelona already failed. There's no reason for him to try it again as barcelona doesn't need him.
I remember some EPL clubs have been linked to him but these were not true as there's no EPL club tried to approaching him.

Maybe MLS or Saudi Arabia can be serious options for Neymar. Let's say he also left PSG will have only Mbappe left in the trio here. Even Mbappe's time is running out at PSG. If it doesn't happen this summer it looks like it will in the next one. A complete rebuild in the attacking line would be really interesting to watch.
So far there's no club that has been approaching him now. Jassim is not having interest to buy him from PSG too. He has no choice to stay in PSG for next season. He has been auctioning the trophy that has been given by messi to him.

Well, the owners of Paris Saint-Germain probably had their own reasons if they did not invite Jose Mourinho to the post of head coach, or even did not try to do it, if it is really true. I'm not sure if Roma is a better option for Jose himself, but on the other hand, Mourinho at least won't have to start from scratch getting used to the conditions of the new club. Also, maybe the Qatari sheikhs could be offended by Mourinho if he refused them on previous occasions. Luis Enrique is also a good option for the club, if only the owners of the club will be patient and give the new head coach time in the amount of several years to build a team, and not throw him out of the club at the slightest failure.

Verrati leaving PSG is a big one, he is the only world class midfielder in the PSG team and loosing him to Al Hilal means PSG needs to get serious about their summer. There are just too many uncertainties. Mbappe flirting with Real Madrid, Neymar wanting to leave, no new coach with just a month left to a new season; Its poor management in Paris already.

Its a good pay for Verrati if he moves too Al Hilal, 30 years, massive experience and quality signing for the Saudi League

There was a first rumor a while ago about Veratti leaving PSG and being in contact with one of the Saudi clubs. His salary isn't that high at the moment and for Al-Hilal this is mostly one of the cheaper transfers, but still a good one as he brings some quality to the team.
Another rumor is AS Roma and Jose Mourinho are trying to bring Veratti back to Italy and help him to have a first debut in Serie A.

Marco Veratti has never played a single match in Serie A as after a successful season in Serie B with Pescarra, he moved to PSG and played there so far. Veratti was a young player in Pescarra in that season together with Insigne and Immobile. News about that.

They must convince Veratti to accept a lower salary and as an Italian player, having a chance to play in Serie A before a retirement is good experience for Veratti.

This is interesting as I wasn't aware of that in the slightest. Now that you posted this I realize that I couldn't even have given an answer if someone asked me about the former clubs of Veratti. He has played there for 11 seasons now. Are the rumors that he has been confronted with lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia now a thing of the past? This could be a reason for him to not go to Saudi Arabia yet but instead try something else in his career. Staying at the same club for over a decade is rare.

The PSG president made Mbappe a top priority last season when he came close to joining Real Madrid. So far, Mbappe has had that priority. So if he loses the match even after serving as the captain, Mbappe will not be under much pressure. Because PSG has given him such power, he can change the manager of PSG if he wants
Indeed. IF PSG .  If PSG didn't expect a player anymore and didn't want to keep him because of their failure to bring their team, they would have let the player go. In this case, Mbappe. PSG always hoped that Mbappe would still strengthen his squad and extend his contract, even if one day Mbappe's contract runs out and he wants to move, PSG said that they would let him go. But if Mbappe still wants to stay at PSG, then PSG will still accept him with great pleasure. But of course players with star labels at their clubs will definitely have their own pressure compared to their playing. Especially if the club loses and he can't play optimally, then he will be blamed by several parties, especially his fans. However, this is also nothing new so the players, especially the stars, are not surprised by this kind of condition.

Lens used to has recognized as mediocre team in Ligue 1 and on 2015 Lens even has been relegated after finished the league in the bottom position but when Franck Haise arrived to this team he has make significant progress and only in 3 years he can bringing Lens to finish at second position under PSG and i think nobody thought Lens will be able to finish at that position because on Ligue 1 people are more likely to talking about other teams such as Marseille, Monaco or probably Lille as the contender for PSG

For next season we will see whether Lens can maintain their consistency by playing in 3 competitions for one season because i am too curious how far Lens can go and for champion league obviously they are underdog because if i am not mistaken Lens was joining into pot 4 for drawing pot later and for summer transfer Lens seems want to upgrade their squad and recently they want to buy Juventus player Denis Zakaria but before that Lens already get Stijn Spierings as free transfer but i am quite worried because their goal machine Lois Openda was targetting by many clubs and i think Lens have to hold this player because he is important player for them

We agree, what Franck Haise has done for his squad has had a very significant impact. from 2021 to 2022, Lens has consistently been ranked 7th in the Ligue 1 standings. In the 2022/2023 season, Franck Haise was able to lift his team to finish in 2nd place in Ligue 1. Even before, I wouldn't have thought, if Lens would be able to compete fiercely against  Marseille, Monaco and Lille. which in the end, Lens finished runner up under PSG.
an achievement that must be appreciated both for the coach, and the players. their hard work with the team and coach paid off and at the same time participated in the Champions League competition next season. unfortunately, don't get your hopes up that this team will be able to compete competitively in the most prestigious event of the league caste. in fact, I doubt if Lens will be able to survive in the group phase later.

By the way, as I said before. in the 2023/2024 season, Lens will have a fairly busy schedule of matches. at least, they will participate in 3 competitions at once in one season. a challenge that is quite difficult for Franck Haise, to bring his squad to appear consistent and competitive. even if they add to their strength by bringing in some newcomers, I doubt they can stay consistent.
Ideally, Franck Haise only focuses on two competitions namely Ligue 1 and Coupe de France. but with conditions, Lens requires sufficient player depth. both for the core squad, as well as the second tier. thus, they will remain strong contenders in the League competition. for the Champions League, Franck Haise knows very well that his team is a mediocre team. however, Franck Haise can while mentally training his players to be more solid when tested if they meet a team that is far from their level.

If Mbappe stays at PSG club, he will carry out the duties of PSG club captains, that is, the responsibility will increase on him. And PSG have announced they will rebuild the team with Mbappe leading the team. One thing we have noticed about Mbappe is that every season Mbappe performs better than the previous season. And the French star has been plagued with injuries for a very short period of time which has not affected his performances. Mbappe will be at his best for PSG next season and then the performance will be better than the performance last season.
But even though Mbappe has an important role like captain and is fully responsible on the field, of course there will always be pressure on him like when PSG loses, of course he will be the source of the problem. I think it's very good to be a pillar of the club, especially being the Ligue 1 champion every season is certain if Mbappe stays at PSG, it's just that now he must be jealous of some of his rivals who have won the Champions League title and maybe that will be one of the reasons Mbappe to leave PSG one day.

Apart from all that, of course Mbappe will try to hold back until his contract with PSG expires next season and if there are offers from other teams, of course he will start to consider them. But again his top priority is to join Real Madrid and that would definitely be Mbappe's dream.
The PSG president made Mbappe a top priority last season when he came close to joining Real Madrid. So far, Mbappe has had that priority. So if he loses the match even after serving as the captain, Mbappe will not be under much pressure. Because PSG has given him such power, he can change the manager of PSG if he wants. PSG will not blame a player who has the power to change managers and lose a match anyway. The departure of most of PSC's players could be one of the reasons for the match loss, in this case it is no use discrediting Mbappe's captaincy. Since Mbappe's contract with PSG will not be extended, it can be assumed that Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent next season.
