PSG is a hated and irrelevant team in france even before they spent money. They won only 2 French leagues before the injection of money. They are basically Fulham.

Very inaccurate, how are they irrelevant in France? The hate is real

Marseille is quite clearly the most popular team in France. PSG has always been one of the more popular clubs (pretty much a given - it's Paris, after all), but they weren't relevant at all before Qatar got involved. They were almost relegated in 2008 and finished 13th two years later.

lol he couldn't have planned it any better if he had wanted to. Win 3 CL titles and leave as a hero, let others start the necessary rebuild and let two other managers fail miserably, return as a hero with an even higher standing and probably higher wages too. Not bad.

Plus he probably got himself at least triple the budget he would have had otherwise. Man has always been able to see three moves ahead, what a genius.

Well, after hedging his bets against OGS, and witnessing what occurred last week, seems he's resigned to taking the consolotory offer.

he also robbed us of what everybody outside of Madrid wanted: the return of Jose.

thanks for nothing, Zinedine.

Pretty much this and transfers control. He left and let someone else prove his predictions right. Now he comes back wielding the transfer money hammer. We'll see how long it lasts though before Perez feels confident enough to push for control again.

Gonna be an interesting summer.

Exactly

Supposedly getting what he asked for last year to spend this summer, around 300m

So hazard for sure

Neymar? Icardi? De ligt?

Expect probly 3 massive signings, and maybe a few smaller ones

I doubt any world class club will go for the Icardashians. Not worth the hassle

Neymar if he pushes for it, wouldn't surprise me. Dybala maybe?

Good news for Spurs fans and a huge blow for Poch.

His two dream jobs basically disappear in the same week.

Dybala I can see for sure, only mentioned icardi as there was noise last year zizou liked him

French media are saying they think the first move will be to go for kante, have a hard time seeing chelsea doing that and kante doesnt seem like the type at all to push for it

My guess would be hazard and neymar are the two marquee forwards, I bet they ask for mbappe and 'settle' for neymar

Neymar is a Perez obsession. If Zidane really has the transfer reins, I don't see him coming. I hope he doesn't come. I'm not sure how much of his injury issues these past couple of years being his body or him being kicked by farmers every week.

Tough VAR rule out for Juve, didn't look conclusive enough to overturn.

Now that Real are out I kind of want to see Atletico advance.

Hes willing these goals in

He got ripped on for being vain with his physique and stuff

But the reason hes basically carved from stone is so he can get such power on these headers, and why his legs are basically trampolines pushing his body up
