The era when Nasser Al-Khelaïfi rolled out a red carpet for the most famous footballers on the planet is well and truly over. For the past year, Paris Saint-Germain has taken a new turn in its policy, with a strategy focused on the collective. A language element that the Qatari president uses in all his speeches.
The departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid further accentuates this trend in the capital. The coming season should confirm it: there is no longer room for strong individuals in the Parisian project.
“They moved on to something else.”
” The club’s philosophy has changedexplained journalist Dave Appadoo in L’Equipe du Soir. There was a PSG until 2022 and the World Cup in Qatar and a PSG post 2022, which is not surfing on the same things.”
” They did everything they could since 2011 to have the biggest stars possible, even getting Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Messi… The project was above all linked to image and communication. But once the World Cup ended in apotheosis for them with a final between Mbappé and Messi, afterwards, we have the impression that they went on to something else“, concluded the journalist from France Football.
