The Parisians will seek a radical change in the squad from June to try to put together a competitive team for the next Champions League.
The situation
PSG is already thinking about planning for next season to try to make a competitive project that, once and for all, can win the long-awaited Champions League. According to Le Parisien, the current Ligue 1 champion has already designed a ‘plan’ for the summer market in which there are many actors involved and which could trigger a revolution at all levels, starting from the bench and ending with the squad. Regarding the coach, there is only one thing clear in Paris: Pochettino will not continue at PSG. The Argentine coach was sentenced once he was eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid and the board is already working on finding a replacement for him . The favorite is Zidane, but the Marseille coach is moving away because he has given priority to the French team, a position that remains vacant after the World Cup and could be forged if he accepts PSG’s offer. Right now, the candidates to succeed him are Antonio Conte, Joachin Löw and Thiago Motta. However, there has been hardly any approach to the three and Qatar will wait until the end of the season to make a decision.
The details
Regarding the squad, one of the main unknowns is the future of Neymar . According to Le Parisien, the Emir of Qatar’s patience with the Brazilian has run out and in Doha they are discussing whether to sell him in the summer. The question is whether there is a team with sufficient economic capacity to face his astronomical salary, a condition that means that the former Barcelona player will most likely continue in Paris next season despite the intention of selling him from Qatar. PSG has already given a series of players who are not untouchable in the squad: Icardi, Kurzawa, Di María and Keylor Navas are on the transfer list and the Parisians hope to sell them in June, although El Fideo will be free because his contract ends . As far as signings are concerned, Pogba’s name continues to circulate strongly in Paris, but the midfielder’s ongoing injuries could delay his incorporation
