The French champions need to start preparing for
life after Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Marseille must
do their utmost to keep Marcelo Bielsa,
to the former player
World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf believes that
Paris Saint-Germain should focus their energy on
signing Alexandre Lacazette .
The French champions have been linked with a
number of high-profile stars this summer, including
Manchester United’s Angel Di Maria, yet the 1998
World Cup winner has advised them to instead
pursue the 24-year-old Olympique Lyonnais
forward. Lacazette finished as Ligue 1 top scorer
with a club record 27 goals and claimed the crown
for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose deal in Paris expires
in 12 months.
“I would take Lacazette ahead of Di Maria for PSG,”
Leboeuf told Telefoot . “They must start to prepare
for life after Ibrahimovic.”
Laurent Blanc’s side completed the domestic treble
on Saturday evening by defeating Auxerre 1-0 at
Stade de France, and despite the unconvincing
nature of that win, the former Chelsea star has
been impressed by what the Parisian outfit have
accomplished over the course of the last year.
“PSG have shown their supremacy this season.
Certain critics owe them a debt of apology,” he
added.
The 44-year-old also cast his eye to former club
Marseille, who he has urged to keep hold of head
coach Marcelo Bielsa, whose first campaign in
France has been wracked with frustration due to a
lack of influence over the club’s transfer policy.
“It’s important that Bielsa stays at Marseille. I’d
like to see what he could achieve with the squad
he wants.”
