PSG is preparing for a summer revolution that will seek to improve the results achieved this season. The Parisians, current champions of Ligue 1, are going to make important changes both in the squad as in the sports field with the aim of avoiding setbacks like the one in the Champions League against Real Madrid. According to L’Équipe, Qatar is already reflecting on PSG’s future and important decisions are expected to be made in May.
Pochettino, imminent departure
The first to leave PSG will undoubtedly be Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine coach has not met expectations in Paris and his balance of titles, only three out of a possible eight, is quite poor compared to its predecessors. Although he publicly says that he wants to continue in Paris, the reality is that he has never found stability on the Parisian bench. PSG is working on finding a replacement for him and, despite the fact that the dream of Doha is Zidane, the most feasible option at the moment is Conte before the desire of the Marseillais to train the French team.
The Italian has offered himself two seasons to PSG, aware that Pochettino’s position will become vacant in the coming weeks. The only handicap, as reported The Parisianthe thing is Conte would only arrive in Paris in case Leonardo does not continue as sports director. His future, uncertain at the moment, has not yet been settled and no decision will be made until the end of the season.
New cycle in template
The newspaper The Team He also underlines that the PSG squad will undergo big changes in summer. The current champion of Ligue 1 continues to work to renew Kylian Mbappé, who is not expected to notify his final decision until the end of the season, that is, until May 21, the date on which PSG will say goodbye to this Ligue 1 against bottom side Metz. Players like Di María, Draxler, Icardi or Kurzawa have all the ballots to leave the club in June, in evidence of the great changes that are going to take place in the coming weeks.
Regarding the transfers, PSG is still trying to disentangle the midfield to find several profiles that will give the team a new look from next season. According to The Team, the sports management is looking for a midfielder with a defensive profile, who could perfectly be Tchouaméni, and another more offensive one. Pogba is one of the most desired, but The Athletic informs that PSG will not meet his salary claims and will only sign him under his conditions. Paquetá, Leonardo’s favourite, is also in the club’s orbit.
sports management
The only leader who seems to have a guaranteed presence at PSG is Nasser Al Khelaïfi. The president is a trusted man of the Emir of Qatar and will not leave the club except for a last-minute surprise. His strong influence in European football after being appointed president of the ECA clearly reinforces his continuity as president of the Parisian team.
Regarding Leonardo, uncertainty continues to reign in Paris. The sports director confirmed on Saturday that his wish was to continue at PSG for many years, but the Emir has the last word of Qatar, with which it has had a great relationship for many years. Mbappé’s case could be a trigger for his future, but PSG want to wait several weeks before making decisions. The name of Arsène Wenger has sounded for the position of sports director, as well as that of Luis Campos, a friend of Mbappé and who could be a symbolic gesture to try to renew the striker.
