World Cup winner Lionel Messi (35), Brazilian soccer star Neymar (30), and future soccer leader Kylian Mbappe (24). The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) ‘MNM’ triangle could possibly step on Korean soil.
On the 20th, France’s L’Equipe said, “PSG is currently exploring the Asian tour this summer. We received proposals from four countries: Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. It was scheduled to go to the US in the summer of 2023, but it is leaning more toward Asia. Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
“The French champion has received many very interesting proposals in terms of financial and content to raise awareness on this continent. Thailand wants PSG, Manchester City and Bayern Munich to host the tournament. Japan, which enjoyed great popularity last summer, also received a request again. Korea and Singapore, where we have offices, are also included.” 안전놀이터
PSG earned 10 million euros (13.4 billion won) from the Japanese tour last July. At that time, more than 10,000 people filled the paid public practice, and more than 65,000 people gathered at the Kawasaki Frontale. They also faced Urawa Reds and Gamba Osaka. After the 2021/2022 season, the magic of recovering the hard penalty for former manager Mauricio Pochettino, who was hardened, occurred. The reason for re-promoting the tour is because I personally felt the heat of the Asian market.
Korea is also on the list of candidates for the 2023 Asian tour, but it seems to be leaning towards Thailand and Japan. If Korea presents conditions that will appeal to the West, there is a possibility of visiting Korea as a stopover. PSG is most popular in China among Asian markets, but it was confirmed that they made a lot of progress in Japan last year.
It is known that Japan and Singapore are likely destinations for Munich, a strong player in Europe, on their Asian tour.
