PSG press review: legend Kimpembe departs, Barcola set to arrive | OneFootball

This Monday, September 8, the French press (from a sports perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding the official departure of Presnel Kimpembe (30-year-old defender trained at PSG) to Qatar Sports Clubs, as well as the anticipation surrounding Bradley Barcola (22-year-old forward) following the injuries to Désiré Doué (20 years old) and Ousmane Ousmane Dembélé (28 years old) for several weeks.

The French national team staff took risks with Dembélé, and this is going down very badly at PSG. Especially since this is not the first time a Parisian player seems to have suffered from very questionable management by the Bleus. A battle seems to have begun, and we are waiting to see where this could lead.

In any case, Paris will have to manage with solutions without their two creative players. Nothing simple, of course. But PSG has assets. Including Barcola, but also Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24 years old), Lee Kang-In (24 years old), or Gonçalo Ramos (24 years old). They need to adapt, and it will also be an opportunity for some to prove themselves. They should make the most of it.

Lucas Hernandez (29 years old) will also have opportunities in defense during the season, but for now, he is clearly a backup both at Paris and for the national team. It's difficult to do better given the competition from Nuno Mendes (23 years old) on the left and Willian Pacho (23 years old) in the center. But he can fight, and seeing him return to his best level would be excellent news. His determination is at least evident in his return, as he is in great shape.
