Ligue 1 will not lose its popularity but PSG will lose its dominance. I actually think that without Mbappe, other teams will have the opportunity to eliminate PSG's dominance. Yes, PSG is still the #1 favorite for now, but at least they won't be as dominant as they were when they were with Mbappe. We might be able to see where PSG has to fight to win the league championship, unlike this season where PSG really dominated Ligue 1 with a goal difference of +48 goals and collected 76 points, 9 points ahead of Monaco in second place.
Most people also think that it will be a concern how PSG will be without Mbappe in the course of the season that will begin, because indeed Mbappe became the core player of the attack that PSG had last season besides Mbappe's presence was very influential in the front line with his speed and ability.
But apart from that I quite believe that the popularity might decrease although not significantly but people will pay more attention to where the star plays and that league will be the highlight, after all Mbappe is one of the stars of football and he has a lot of fans so it is possible that some viewers switch to watch the match especially at Real Madrid where he has a career today.
Mbappe has been at PSG for a long time and he has given a lot of good service in this long period of time so everyone thinks how will PSG do without him. If Mbappe had left two seasons ago, maybe people wouldn't have talked about it as much because two seasons ago PSG had many other important players including Messi and Neymar, but this season Mbappe is the only important player for PSG. But it is true that he is gone and this fact must be accepted. The club is much more concerned about this than us and they must think carefully and make the right decision about which player they will replace Mbappe in their team. Since this club has a record of spending huge amounts of money in the past, they can certainly spend money this season as well.

Mbappe has been with PSG's squad for a long time. And Mbappe is PSG's regular scorer. This is why Mbappe's departure will definitely have an impact on PSG's overall performance. There is no denying it. Last season Luis Enrique experimented a lot with the PSG squad, keeping Mbappe on the bench. PSG's performance was stable without Mbappe. However, PSG's overall performance was not strong.

Luis Enrique is an experienced coach which is why he started preparing the squad without Mbappe from the previous season. He will surely find a suitable strategy to keep PSG's performance stable. But I look forward to seeing which player Luis Enrique will add to his squad as Mbappe's replacement.
In some matches, Mbappe was left out and other players were given a chance, but if you look at the important matches, you will see that PSG did not announce the team without Mbappe. In other words, Mbappe has a significant role behind the achievements that PSG has achieved recently. Maybe another player can be brought in as a replacement for one player but I don't see another player as a replacement for Mbappe at the moment. But it is a fact that Mbappe has left the club and this fact must be accepted by the club and the management. By paying Mbappe the same amount of money they pay the team every season they can keep two quality players at their club if they plan it right then their future could be better without Mbappe.
