TRANSFERS - Kahn's skepticism at PSG: "Will this work?"

If Lionel Messi's move is perfect, Paris St. Germain will have one of the most spectacular squads in Europe. Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn also sees question marks.

Paris St. Germain not only hit Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Georginio Wijnaldum or Gianluigi Donnarumma, but now also Lionel Messi. "If you look at the names," Oliver Kahn almost understated on Tuesday at a sponsorship event for FC Bayern, "they now have an exciting group at PSG."

 He appreciates all players, said the FCB CEO. But the question will be: "Will this work? Will they all harmonize with each other in the end?" It will be "very exciting", he said with a view to the new offensive department around Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Angel di Maria. "It will have to be seen whether it is then also a team, whether it will all come together."

This year's European Championship has shown that the biggest names are not always important, Kahn said: "It only works as a team. The Italians are a good example. They have a few big names too, of course, but they have had from the first game showed that they want to be successful as a team. "
