Press review: Zidane new France boss and PSG's transfer plans | OneFootball

This Wednesday, July 29, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, regarding Paris Saint-Germain, on the possible departure of Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) and the Eli Junior Kroupi trail (20-year-old Bournemouth forward). There was also the official arrival of Zinédine Zidane as head coach of the France national team.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Zidane was announced this Tuesday as the new head coach of France on a four-year contract, with the idea of experiencing a special period together. Between Zizou’s aura and the squad’s potential, hopes are high. Be careful though, that does not mean it will be easy. We should be wary of the idea that it will automatically be better. Didier Deschamps’ work should not be overlooked. There is no magic formula in football. But of course, we wish Zidane great success.

As for PSG’s transfer window, there has been a lot of uncertainty in recent days, with rumors going in all directions. Barcola’s departure is possible if his refusal to extend his contract is confirmed. Nothing is official, and things could still change. And for a transfer to happen, an agreement would still be needed. Liverpool are the favorites, though nothing concrete has emerged there either.

As for Kroupi, the sports daily mainly mentions FC Barcelona’s interest, but also underlines that PSG remain in the race. That has since been denied by other journalists. It is impossible to be certain for now; we will have to wait to get a clearer picture of Paris’ plans.
