PSG sounded as a destination for Ousmane Dembélé, the Gallic attacker ended up extending his link as azulgrana, but from Paris explained the reasons that led them not to sign the winger.
Luis Campo, PSG advisor, has argued ñ what was the reason why the interest did not materialize.
"I really like Ousmane Dembélé. He is a very good player, but we did not sign him because he plays on the wing and we play without a winger. When you put together a team, you have to make sure everything fits together like a jigsaw puzzle," the executive commented. Despite his words, they did consider bringing him in.
Luis Campos, sports advisor has taken the opportunity to deny rumors about Neymar's departure:
"Neymar has never been on the transferable list. It is false that Mbappé asked for his departure. Neymar is a very good player. We count on him, like Messi and Mbappé. Last season was difficult for him, with injuries. But now he is fine. He's always on time, he hasn't missed any training sessions, except for one with a bit of pain. Neymar is involved in the team and club project. He's a responsible guy. The whistles from the fans in the stands a few months ago? I think time will heal all wounds."
PSG have the chance to climb to the top of the Ligue 1 table on their own if they can get a win against Olympique Lyon.
The chance opened up for Christophe Galtier's side following Marseille's 1-1 draw against Rennes. The Foco team was PSG's only companion at the top of the table and now has to face the most formidable team in French soccer.
Following L'Equipe's information on the length of Kylian Mbappé's contract with Paris Saint-Germain which was not until 2025 but until 2024, Le Journal du Dimanche reveals new details about the renewal deal sealed at the end of last season. Apparently, the French giants made several promises to their star player in order for him to give Real Madrid a chance.
In addition, the club made several changes within the club to please Mbappé, dismissing Leonardo, former sporting director who had a not very good relationship with the French striker, incorporating Julien Maynard, a TF1 journalist who has a very good relationship with the French star.
Neymar confirmed that Messi is already settled into life in Paris after his arrival at PSG. The Brazilian is close to the Argentine because of his past at Barcelona.
"I've known Messi for a long time and it's difficult a change like this," "He had been in Barcelona for many years and now he changed everything for his family too. The truth is a little difficult, but I think he is better now, he is more at home," he added.
Resenha, a Star+ program, hosted former players Adriano and Emerson. The former recalled his long and victorious stay at Barcelona, between 2010 and 2016, and revealed details of the relationship between coach Luis Enrique and Lionel Messi.
"He [Luis Enrique] had a fight with Messi in training. We tried to keep him inside the team, but he ended up leaving," Adriano recalled.
