PSG has always been paying attention to world class player names. If they had some world class player names in their team, they thought that this is enough to win the Champions League trophy. But I emphasized that the focused on names because what did it help them that they signed a player like Ramos who was in his mid 30s? It is a big name in the football business, but how could such a player improve the team to a degree that they can reach the next level and compete with the giants like Real Madrid? They should focus less on names and more on what they need in the team. Their offense was huge for so many years, but they never paid the same attention to their defense or the midfield.
I think you are right. Currently PSG is known for having world-class forward players. I think I only really know Mbappe and to be honest I don't really know the other PSG players. I mean, only Mbappe is often in the spotlight in various sports media. I think it is right for team management to look for potential defenders and midfielders in this transfer market.But the problem is that I heard rumors that Mbappe is not extending his contract with PSG and that means if PSG doesn't sell him then he will be on a free transfer and that will be very detrimental to PSG. So I think PSG also needs to look for another striker in this transfer market if they don't want to lose their dominance in the league.
There are of course a couple of other names that are quite well known, but in the past PSG thought when they have Messi, Neymar and Mbappe that they would instantly win the Champions League because of that. They then neglected their defensive line and especially the midfield. If you compare the midfield of Manchester City with the midfield of PSG in the years 2018-2023, I think you can quickly see that the difference in the quality of the players is gigantic. It's not all about the offense. Without a strong defense against these monsters like Haaland there is no chance to win those games.
