Every summer, the same catchphrase: “We have to change everything at Paris Saint-Germain!” “But this time, the situation is relentless: upheavals are inevitable to move forward and above all achieve the objective set since the takeover of the club by QSI in the summer of 2011, namely to win the League of champions. Eliminated this season from the round of 16 of the C1, Kylian Mbappé and his family are still far from the mark.

“Our maximum, that’s it,” even whispered the Parisian striker after the early exit from the road in Europe. So, do we take the same ones and start over? Doha seems to hesitate between a new revolution and a semblance of continuity. With Luis Campos to lead the maneuvers, it is the second option that seems to win, and at least stability for the leaders.

Recognized worldwide for his flair as a recruiter and his ability to unearth talent, like Rafael Leao at Losc, who is currently shining with AC Milan on the European scene, Luis Campos will have to catch up. His first summer transfer window did not bear fruit with Carlos Soler, Hugo Ekitike and Fabian Ruiz failing to meet expectations. In a delicate financial context at the time, the Portuguese leader had to be cunning.

This time, PSG should be freed from these constraints by entering the nails of UEFA’s financial fair play, according to Le Parisien. The capital club and Campos would have a free hand for the next transfer window. The first galactic rumors are flowing in, notably with Victor Osimhen, who has become a leading center forward in Naples.

In an interview with Marca at a conference, Nasser al-Khelaïfi outlined what awaits his team this summer: “We are going to look at what we are doing and how to make sure that we can continue, that we are doing the things correctly and that we are developing. We’re not going to make any mistakes. »

Apart from the goalkeeper position, where Gianluigi Donnarumma gives satisfaction despite some blunders, there should be movement at each line. In central defense, Milan Skriniar signed a pre-contract this winter with PSG, but the problem for the Inter Milan player is his physical condition.

The Slovakia international has only played ten minutes for two months due to back pain. The Parisian medical staff are carefully monitoring his development, hoping to avoid the error Sergio Ramos, who arrived injured in 2021 and had taken a long time to recover all his means.

In the midfield, the movements will be numerous. PSG will have the loan returns of Leandro Paredes (Juventus) and Georginio Wijnaldum (AS Roma). Their future seems compromised, like that of Renato Sanches, Carlos Soler or Fabian Ruiz.

To replace all these beautiful people, Luis Campos would like to attract a young French international with high potential, like Youssouf Fofana or Khéphren Thuram. If it will undoubtedly be necessary to spend a large sum, the Parisian management insists on the desire to have, in its ranks, more tricolor and Ile-de-France players, like the subscription campaign which highlighted Kylian Mbappé.

For the attack, the question inevitably arises for Lionel Messi, at the end of the contract this summer. If he represents a major marketing asset for Doha, his sporting contribution, like his performance in the Champions League, raises doubts. With an almost unstoppable Neymar due to his colossal salary, the Argentinian, who fulfilled the ultimate dream of his career after success in the World Cup, can leave with a light spirit.

It remains to be seen who will be the lucky one to replace him? Randal Kolo-Muani’s name has been associated with PSG, but he will no doubt be very expensive. The Victor Osimhen track, just as expensive, made Campos and the Parisian staff dream.

What about the coach in all of this? Christophe Galtier’s first season at the helm of Paris Saint-Germain has been turbulent. Beyond the eliminations in the Champions League and the Coupe de France, it is also the affair which has affected him for two weeks on possible discriminatory remarks which casts a shadow on his future.

However, at a press conference on Thursday April 20, the former Nice coach confessed his desire to be long-term: “I plan to be the coach of next season at Paris Saint-Germain. A review will be done. I talk a lot with Luis, we talk a lot with our president. This assessment will be made at the end of the season. “Several coaches have already seen their names circulating to take over from Galtier, such as José Mourinho, currently at AS Roma.
