PSG wanted to create its Superleague, OM sets the French press on fire

The Parisian Superleague

In the interior pages of The Team this morning, we learned that in 2020, Nasser al-Khelaïfi and Andrea Agnelli, the former boss of Juventus Turin, considered a project for a new European competition, called Bohr. PSG therefore thought of creating its Superleague too. According to our colleagues, it was not just an idea of ​​a few months, since they had worked well on the subject, they were even able to read a document of around thirty pages which describes the sporting contours of this event, but also its business plan. They put the British company O & O to work to develop this new competition. There were therefore two separate Superleague projects during the Covid period. PSG has, however, always publicly opposed the plan put forward by Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

Gattuso’s successor, we can see him in this newspaper, but also in The Team, it would be Jean-Louis Gasset. According to our information, it is the 70-year-old French technician who is being targeted by the Olympian staff to revive this adrift team. But hey, it will be a short-term mission, because, according to our information, Pablo Longoria and his teams already have several names in mind for the next school year. Among them, that of Paulo Fonseca, stationed at LOSC.
