PSG preparing for 'tactical facelift' which could impact Messi, Neymar and Ramos

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to appoint Christophe Galtier and deploy a new 3-5-2 formation at the Parc des Princes. And the tactical switch could have a big impact on superstars Lionel Messi, Neymar and Sergio Ramos.

PSG are expected to sack current boss Mauricio Pochettino in the coming weeks and replace him with either Galtier or former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.

Galtier is the current favourite for the job after working with new football advisor Luis Campos at Lille. Campos, who has effectively become PSG's director of football, has been tasked with building a squad capable of winning the club's maiden Champions League.

PSG have dominated French football since Qatar Sports Investments - a subsidiary of Qatar's state-run sovereign-wealth fund - purchased the club in 2011. They've since won eight Ligue 1 titles, six French Cups, six French League Cups and eight French Super Cups.

But PSG haven't tasted European success. The closest they've come to winning the Champions League was in August 2020, when they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Germany giants Bayern Munich in the final, with ex-PSG player Kingsley Coman scoreing the only goal of the game.

According to Foot Mercato, Campos thinks Galtier is the man to lead PSG to their first European Cup. It's believed the Parisian club have agreed a €10million (£8.6m) fee with Nice to release the 55-year-old from his existing deal, which expires in June 2024.

Galtier is expected to deploy a 3-5-2 formation at PSG with Ramos playing alongside Presnel Kimpembe and Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar at the back. It's claimed the Ligue 1 champions will make a €55m (£47.3m) bid for the Slovakia international.
