Press review: Ligue 1 transfer window roundup, one club outspends PSG | OneFootball

This Wednesday, September 3rd, the French press (on the sports side) focused on nothing direct regarding Paris Saint-Germain, only the review of the transfer market in Ligue 1. With Strasbourg spending more than PSG and especially a positive financial balance for the league. We will see over the course of the season how it stands in terms of sports performance.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

It's quite rare to be noted, Strasbourg has surpassed PSG's spending. It must be said that the Parisian club was particularly calm on the arrivals side and focused on investing in 2 positions: central defender (Ilya Zabarnyi) and goalkeeper (Lucas Chevalier). On the Strasbourg side, the connection with Chelsea through the BlueCo group played a significant role. Some are complaining about it.

However, it's a great way to have top players in a league that is mostly in a selling period. It's better if there is entertainment and competition. Like for Paris FC, a newly promoted team that was able to make significant signings thanks to investors. We cannot complain about the lack of resources in France, with a PSG that dominates too easily, and also criticize the entries in Ligue 1.

It was a summer marked by caution for many, and we can understand that they feel it as an injustice. But, for French football, fortunately, some were able to recruit. It remains to be seen if the choices were good, as the money spent does not guarantee anything. Just as there can be great deals with a small amount.
