Despite their title of champion of France, PSG had a complicated season. While Christophe Galtier, the coach, should leave in the same way as certain players like Lionel Messi, the supporters are worried about the future of their club.

Where is Paris-Saint-Germain going? The end of the season sounds like a release for its supporters, but the rest of the project still seems just as vague. Lionel Messi, who arrived as a star two years ago, leaves Paris in almost general indifference. Christophe Galtier, the current coach, should also be notified of the end of his contract, barely a year after arriving. In three years, he is the third coach to be sacked. A lack of sporty legibility which can be explained by a faulty direction. “The reality is that it is typical of a club which is run by a state, but which remains an asset among others. With behind a Nasser al-Khelaïfi who is a more honorary president than really present. There are people missing inside the organization chart”says Jean Baptiste Guégan, a teacher in the geopolitics of sport.

Towards a departure from Mbappé in 2024?

Nasser al-Khelaïfi is in the sights of the supporters, but the president does not seem to be questioned by the Qatari owners. Doha sees the club of a rival country, Manchester City, partly owned by Emirati sovereign wealth funds, arrive again in the final of the Champions League, the supreme objective of the club of the capital. From there to radically change the course of a club that seems to be sailing on sight… Summer promises to be decisive in the City of Light. Especially since the star of the project, Kylian Mbappé, could leave free next year, potentially tired of a club without an established vision.
