( via )Keylor needs to find an agreement with concerning severance pay. PSG don’t want to pay it and this could block the move. In this eventuality, would try again in January. ( via ) Navas has already agreed to a two-year deal with the Serie A side, which will see him earn €4 million annually. However, the player wants severance pay from PSG before he leaves the club this summer. The Parisians are unwilling to oblige to his demands, raising question marks about the move. The two parties have until Thursday to sort out the situation. It remains to be seen if Navas gives more importance to severance pay than game time with the FIFA World Cup in Qatar coming up later this year. With Gianluigi Donnarumma being the preferred No. 1 for Galtier, game time could be at a premium for Navas if he stays on at the Parc des Princes.

Christophe Galtier gives verdict on Monaco draw

Christophe Galtier believes PSG paid the price for a lackluster first-half performance against Monaco. The Parisians conceded a goal early in the game and had to strive to secure a point against a resolute Monaco team. after the game, Galtier admitted that Monaco caused his side a lot of problems. “Frustrating is not the word, because Monaco played a great first half-hour. Monaco caused us a lot of problems in terms of what we wanted to do with the ball, in terms of our play, a little too much positional play. Monaco came looking for us on our first passes out,” said Galtier. He added: “They are a team that defends well going forward, that has big strengths when we play against them without any movement, and we missed a lot of that in the first half. We conceded that goal in transition; we knew that was their strong point. There were risks taken in the game.” The PSG manager added that his team improved after the break by rejigging the attack. “The first half hour was difficult; we reacted at the end of the first half; we could have scored when we hit the post twice from Leo and Kylian. In the second half, we varied our game; we reorganised our attacking style; we brought our wing-backs into the game more; there was more movement, more depth than in the first half,” said Galtier. The Parisians hit the woodwork thrice - through Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi - as their perfect start to the season came to an end.
