Pochettino's long-term future
source
Pochettino's long-term future of the club looks undecided with man united interested in the services. But no matter who is in charge next summer be that Pochettino, Zidan or any other manager, at the top of the club's list will be the future of killian Mbappe. No closer to signing a new deal, 22 year old Mbappe would in all likelihood join Real Madrid on a free transfer. Meaning the prison chance will almost certainly be entering the market for another forward.
Although Dortmund Holland had been said to be at the top of their wish list, Spanish publication el nacional claimed that PSG have grown tired of pursuing the Norwegian and have been put off by the significant commission as agent Mina Raiola would demand. According to the article the nine-time champions have turned their attention to Fiorentina's dusan vlavic whose brace this weekend against Milan took him to 10 league goals for this season.
A figure topped only by Lewandowski and Salah in Europe's top five leagues. Vladivich might have had a quite simply staggering 2021 with 27 Seria A goals the most by Vlaviola player since 1960 but in my opinion he wouldn't be a good replacement from Mbappe. Whilst the Frenchman is an outstanding dribbler and creator, Vladovic is far more of a poacher. With his 18 passes per game more similar to a player like Icardi who has struggled to make a consistent impact in Paris. Whilst vlavic is clearly a very talented player we'd urge any club to seriously consider how they wanted to operate before committing a fee expected to be around 70 million euros on a 21 year old with no champions league experience and one phenomenal year of goal scoring under his belt.
I also read that PSG approached Zidane for the sole purpose so he can convince Mbappe to stay. PSG have some odd picks for managers, to me, the only one that made sense is Ancelotti. The rest looked like some odd trial they went with after relative success. You need a manager who knows how to play the style of players available, one that has the character to get the stars to come back and defend.
There's also a law of diminishing returns situation going on in PSG. So many stars up front doesn't mean more goals for each, maybe more in total, but less for each. If it was up to me, I would replace Mbappe with a winger with a high work rate defensively and move Messi central then play a more possession-styled gameplay.
