Qatari supremo Al-Khelaifi pledges no more 'comfort zones' heading into new season
Paris Saint-Germain is likely to be one of the busiest European clubs this summer with a new era being overseen by Luis Campos and Christopher Galtier after Kylian Mbappe extended his contract and Mauricio Pochettino was dismissed along with Leonardo. Nuno Mendes has already been secured on a permanent basis with Vitinha expected to follow from FC Porto and Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar as well as Lille OSC's Renato Sanches and Stade de Reims' Hugo Ekitike all of interest.
"The dream is one thing and reality is another," Chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi told Le Parisien of this summer's changes. "Perhaps we should change our slogan as 'Dream Bigger' is good, but we must be realistic above all else. We no longer want to be flashy and bling-bling -- no more glitter. We have done great things for 11 years, but each year we ask ourselves how to be better.
"I can tell you that we expect all of the players to do more than last season -- much more," added the Qatari. "They must all be at 100%. Obviously, we were not good enough to go far. The objective for next season is clear and that is to go at 200% each day, give everything for the jersey, give the maximum and see the results. We must become humble again. You must be disciplined on and off the pitch and whoever wants to stay in their comfort zone and not fight will be cast aside. We want players proud to represent PSG and ready to fight."
