PSG and OM humiliated in the transfer window, Ligue 1 in panic

In Europe, the championships are over and the teams are starting to think about their transfer window. In France, PSG, OM or AS Monaco still do not have coaches…

PSG will once again want to win everything next season. If the Champions League is no longer as priority as before, Qatar still wants to give itself the means of its ambitions. Problem, the champions of France are advancing in slow motion on the transfer window. At least, the official announcements do not fall. In question, the fact that the capital club still does not have a coach. Christophe Galtier is negotiating his departure and Luis Enrique should succeed him after the soap opera Julian Nagelsmann, who would have refused the post. At OM, the situation is somewhat similar. Igor Tudor is no longer there and the Phocaeans have just suffered two refusals, including that of Marcelo Gallardo. For some observers, these consecutive failures are very bad news for French football, especially before the renegotiation of TV rights. Denis Balbir will not say the opposite.

PSG and OM in the same boat

During a column for Goal Soccer Clubthe journalist has not made in the language of wood on the subject. “For me, the real problem at PSG as at OM is that it is already June 19 and that sporting uncertainties are legion. We have no visibility on the workforce. On the one hand, we have McCourt who no longer wants to go back to the pot and Pablo Longoria who has dates but who we are increasingly wondering with whom. On the other, we have Lionel Messi who leaves, Kylian Mbappé who casts a blur on his future while he is at the center of the project, what about Neymar? When you are a coach, it is necessarily worrying not to know where you are going. Today, it is not easy to draw the outlines of an ambition. What is happening at PSG and OM is not good for Ligue 1 when it comes to tackling the renegotiation of TV rights. Already that the championship is handicapped by important clubs (ASSE, Bordeaux) and that it is emerging from a dark year in the European Cup, this vagueness does not help anything… Like everything starts from the top, PSG and OM must quickly find solutions to reassure. It has almost become a national issue., said Denis Balbir, curious to know who will end up training the two rival clubs. As a reminder, the next call for tenders for the TV rights of the French championship over the period 2024-2028 will be organized at fall 2023.
