I would disagree with the latter to an extent and point to PSG's prioritization of their youth academy as evidence to the contrary. The Qatari plan was always to bring initial success to the club, and therefore put butts in seats, through heavy activity in the transfer market and bringing in marquee players before shifting focus to their youth system. By next season Rabiot, Baheback, and Arreola will all be apart of the regular rotation so there is evidence this is coming to fruition.
Not true.
For example, Nasser is planning to create PSG youth centers around the world starting with Brazil.
- He kept bahebeck because he wasn't able to sign another player for the rotation. It was planned to sell or loan him.
- Rabiot signed a new contract but all points out that he will be sold in the near future. Le_Parisien reported once that the qataries don't see a future star in him.
- Areola's case is special, he is planned to come back here when he's skilled enough to beat the like of Sirigu, which is not happening anytime soon. There actually was rumors that PSG is seeking a new GK to replace Sirigu because Sirigu still hasn't renewed and didn't do really good lately.
- There's talk to sign a +1 year contract with Douchez for next year. Areola is not planned to come back next season and worse, Areola DOESN'T want to be a sub. Hence why he does ask to be loaned every times.
Firstly, I think you underestimate what can be done with 75m while also overestimating the number Pogba will go for. It'll be maybe 10m-15m more than that 75m mark, and PSG has a number of players they could off load to make up the difference. Further, Nasser has also stated that he is willing to spend 100m to replace Ibra with another global star after his retirement, and his retirement is looming.
I don't. Pogba is not on the big list from PSG according to trusted sources. Dybala is for example, not Pogba.
"I believe PSG will get another big striker in 2016 after Ibrahimovic. Financial Fair Play tends to freeze competition between clubs but that situation plays into our favour," he told France Football.
"I believe we can afford a €100 million splash of cash to get stronger, even if that meant focusing on one single purchase in the transfer window, or a drastic reduction in some high salaries so we can buy other players."
Nothing like that was reported as far as I know.
Do you have a link to your french source please?
Nothing on
http://www.francefootball.fr. Nothing on France Football twitter around that when that supposed interview was posted. Nothing on Le_Parisien, nothing on L'Equipe, nothing on RMC either.
edit: nothing on any french websites about that supposed interview, not even on tabloids like Le10Sport.
I think you got fooled by english websites that are reporting a fake interview.
AFAIR nasser never said he plans to reduce salaries. Also, it would be stupid. Unless you sign a new contract, you
can't reduce salaries of already signed contracts in France. And no PSG stars would accept to renew a contract with a decreased salaries.
The only club with a better chance of landing him than Paris is Real
I disagree. PSG is not following Pogba because PSG doesn't seek that kind of player at the moment.
