"Not a player will be above what the group should be," warned Christophe Galtier in particular, warning that he would not hesitate to "dismiss" recalcitrant players.

"I am determined to ensure that this team is very united, demanding, determined, to have the greatest possible season. If there are unfortunately players who come out of this framework, from the moment they leave , they will be discarded. Not a player will be above what the group and the position of the group should be", launched the technician during his presentation to the press. 

"I want Neymar to stay" 

The 55-year-old coach also spoke about the Neymar case.

He immediately cut short speculation about a possible departure of the Brazilian striker who is struggling to regain his best level.

"Obviously I want Neymar to stay, because when you have world-class players it's better to have them with than against," said the new technician.

As a reminder, Neymar joined PSG in 2017 for 222 million euros.

A record, never equaled to date.
