Long snubbed by French internationals, the
Ligue 1 has become trendy again. Kylian Mbappé has long been the most fervent representatives before going into exile on the other side of the Pyrenees to join his dream club, Real Madrid. But Ousmane Dembélé succeeded him with unexpected success in the role of gondola head.
But the top scorer in Paris Saint-Germain is not the only member of the 2018 generation to express his talents in France. Like him, 8 other world champions are rejected on the land of Ligue 1.
Ousmane Dembélé, strong man of PSG.
There are those who almost never left her, like Steve Mandanda. On the departure in Rennes, the former legendary goalkeeper of Olympique de Marseille should bring his high level experience to a promoted club, Lorient. Presnel Kimpembe remains faithful to its lifelong club, Paris Saint-Germain. While Djibril Sidibé relaunched himself in Toulouse a year ago.
Pogba and Giroud choose Ligue 1
There are those who returned to the fold, too, like Corentin Tolisso. The midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais has regained his best level in his heart club. His former component of OL, Samuel Umtiti, had chosen Lille, but he was not spared by physical seeds.
And then Ligue 1 also managed to attract snoring names from this glorious France team. Lucas Hernandez left Bayern Munich for the Paris Saint-Germain project in 2023. And this summer, it is a certain Paul Pogba who will resume the thread of his football career at AS Monaco. A nice list to which is added Olivier Giroud, eager to make a final freelance in Lille. In times that run, this blue wave will not harm Ligue 1.
