PSG will deal with the Champions League and Ambape, the competitors will try to emulate Lille: France opens season

Donaroma, Hakimi, Vinaldom and Ramos (and maybe Messi too?) Were recruited to bring a European title and the league is once again not a top priority, certainly with the big star aiming for Madrid.

Marseille, Monaco and Nice lurking, Lille in question and also Peter Boss and Oscar Garcia here.

The French league is on its way

Paris Saint-Germain

The Qataris will once again put up the highest budget in France, and by a huge margin, but with all due respect to the league and the title lost, the ultimate goal was and still is to win the Champions League.

After the final in 2020 and the semi-final in 2021, Paris Saint-Germain wants to be European champions in 2022 and to that end were recruited as free agents (with huge salaries) Sergio Ramos, Giorgini Vinaldom and also Gianluigi Donaroma, The MVP of the Euro who entered an interesting competition for the position of first goalkeeper with Kaylor Navas.

Ashraf Hakimi is the most expensive acquisition in France this summer (60 million euros that could grow to 70) and perhaps, in light of the dramatic developments in Barcelona, a huge surprise in the form of Lionel Messi is also expected.

Although Neymar has extended his contract, Killian Ambape is interested in leaving next summer (for Real Madrid) as a free agent and his future will continue to employ PSG throughout the season.

Will you be tempted to move to Nice?

night

Even the first win ever in the Champions League (after another win over PSG) can not obscure the many problems at night.

Two days after the incredible championship, coach Christophe Galatieri realized he would not be able to put together a team worthy of the Champions League and abandoned.

The exchange of ownership and debts forced (relatively cheaply) the sale of goalkeeper Mike Manian and midfielder Bobakari Somara - two of the anchors in the championship season - and Joslan Gurbank is expected to face a difficult task.

The new coach got the job quite surprisingly, after failing in Bordeaux and not coaching for two years, and only because other candidates fell in which sporting director Sylvan Armen wanted.

The reinforcement meanwhile is extremely modest (only 19-year-old Belgian Amado Onana), scorer Borak Yilmaz may be tempted to team up with Galatia in Nice and others could also be sold before the window closes.

A deadly combination in the Monaco attack.

Monaco

Nico Kovac did a wonderful job in the princesses last season, putting together a strong team that for many months was the third rib in the championship fight and is now also fighting in the qualifiers for entry into the home stage of the Champions League.

Monaco will continue to benefit from the lethal combination of captain Wissam Ben Yader and German Kevin Poland, who has received more friends from the country such as Alexander Noble and Ismail Jacobs.

Jean Lucas was bought for a million to thicken the link, which still houses Cesc Fabregas and Alexander Golovin, and this week also came the promising Myron Baudo from Alkmaar for 17 million euros.

Test season in Lyon.

Lyon

A Dutchman went and a Dutchman came to Jean-Michel Ulas.

Memphis Depay, who was so dominant and impressed in four and a half years in the French league, fulfilled his dream and moved to Barcelona after failing to bring Lyon back to the Champions League.

Coach Rudy Garcia also parted ways and was replaced by our informant Peter Boss, a former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach, who won the trust of Ulas and sports director Juninho.

The Brazilian free-kick artist brought in defender Henrique from Vasco da Gama and experienced stopper Damian de Silva Maran, but Lyon have yet to spend money and have certainly not found a replacement for Memphis.

Even another Awar blocker is likely to leave next month, prodigy Ryan Shrek is set to make the leap.

Marseille is building on his goals.

Marseille

Unlike the other teams hoping to challenge PSG, Marseille have been very active at the window.

Gerson (€ 25m), Luan Perez and Conrad de la Puente have been acquired, Pau Lopez, Genghis Under, William Saliba and Matteo Ganduzi have arrived on loan and it still does not appear Jorge Sampaoli is satisfied.

The energetic Argentine coach has brought about improvement since arriving at the Stade Velodrome and will now try to lead Marseille to a bachelor’s degree after a decade.

Arkadiusz Milik, who scored 10 goals in half a season, was present from the first moment and threatened to score.

Need to recover from a disappointing season.

Run

Another team that underwent a coach change in the middle of last season, after having a hard time combining the league with their Champions League debut, and hopes to continue the trend of improvement.

Bruno Gencio has parted ways with two key players like Steven Anzoni and Damien da Silva and will put the keys in the hands of young Eduardo Camavinga, who was disappointed last year after being called up to the senior squad and apparently starting his farewell season from Maran, before moving to a luxury club.

Brakeman Luik Bada (17 million euros) and winger Kamaldin Solmana (15 million) have been acquired for considerable sums and aspire to bigger sales in the future.

Was not ready to retire.

Nice

Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants a ticket to the Champions League and Nice have embarked on another summer shopping spree after a disappointing season, but the most significant acquisition of all is coach Christoph Galatia, who did an exceptional job on the night and also before that at Saint-Etienne.

Galatia wanted to be closer to the family and accepted an offer from Nice, who not only paid 5 million euros per night for him and almost doubled his salary, but also guaranteed him the second highest budget in the league.

In the meantime he has got Calvin Stangs, Jean-Claire Todivo, Pablo Rosario, Mario Lemina, Melvin Beer and Justin Claibert, and the hand is still outstretched.

Dante, 37, is returning from a serious injury, Amin Guiri will continue to excite and there is hope that the Euro has woken Caspar Dolberg.

Gets into big shoes.

The rest of the league

After failing in his previous tenure in France (Saint-Etienne) and then also at Olympiacos and Salta Vigo, Oscar Garcia will try to correct the impression in Reims, where he has stepped into the big shoes of David Guyon, who has performed miracles and wonders for the past four years. The former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach will rely on the defense led by another retired yellow, Predrag Rajkovic (unless he eventually moves to Lille), hoping for a calm season in the center of the table.

Lance will want to surprise again, this time with her loyal audience returning to the stands. Claude Powell has cleaned up Saint-Etienne's troubled locker room and hopes for a quieter season, and this is also Nantes' prayer after it barely survived a drop. Montpellier parted ways with the older defensive center in Europe (the 43-year-old Hilton retired, the 36-year-old Daniel Congra moved to Toulouse) and maintained the attractive attack, while Bordeaux escaped dismantling thanks to a new owner and is trying to build a project led by Vladimir Petkovic.

And the immigrants?

Troyes is under the same ownership of Manchester City and so could have invested around 15 million euros this summer, unlike Clermont who are struggling to recruit players for its historic Premier League season (in the 110th year of the club's inception) and if it manages to escape relegation it will be a fantastic achievement.
