While PSG suffered a disappointing defeat in midweek to Liverpool in the Champions League, reports in France say things are even less secure behind the scenes.
Manager Thomas Tuchel is said to not even be on speaking terms with sporting director Antero Henrique, who is in charge of transfer policy.
This stems from PSG, despite their proclivity for spending big on the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, failing to sign a midfielder during the summer.
According to Le Parisien, Tuchel and Henrique have remained at loggerheads for weeks, with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi caught in the middle.
PSG's primary midfield target in the summer was French World Cup winner N'Golo Kante, who last week admitted the Ligue 1 champions made contact.
However the Chelsea midfielder had 'no urge' to leave Stamford Bridge, and said: 'There were other clubs' interests but after talking to Chelsea, things were clear. The club is counting on me and I feel good.'
PSG have been further hamstrung in midfield by veteran Thiago Motta retiring from playing last summer, becoming a youth coach at the club instead, and Marco Verratti's injury.
As a result of a lack of midfield numbers, Tuchel was forced to play a midfield three of Marquinhos, Adrien Rabiot and Angel Di Maria - none in their preferred roles - for the 3-2 defeat at Anfield.
This did not impress PSG captain Thiago Silva. When asked what he made of the midfield set-up after the game, he said: 'We must ask Antero. I do not want to answer this question.'
Tuchel is also unhappy, and has a history of falling out with club heirarchy. He left Borussia Dortmund in May 2017 after a tense 12 months in which he fell out with CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke over transfers.

PSG forward are not to be blame in every game. it's their midfield that cause the problem. Like Barcelona,rakitic busquet and coutinho and real Madrid , Casemiro, kroos and Modric cover well for their respective club and they can attack too. They lack mindset. may be Verrati might do better but he was always absent on game day

Will play di Maria, Marquinhos out of position but will still not give youth a chance.

Tuchel seems to be hard to hard to work with. He fell out with BVB management as well.

How many midfielders does he want or need? He has quite a few at his disposal already.

I get the feeling he can't control his team, too many egos. I feel like psg need a stronger character. there's no way someone like klopp, pep, sarri, simone and many other top managers would take his players playing the way they did against Liverpool. Not chasing or pressing them, no desire to try and win the game, taking it as easy as they would against one of their french farmer opponents. Not that Liverpool didn't deserve the win as they made psg look very average and Liverpool weren't even at their best. It would have been a lot worse if the front 3 were playing as well as we've seen they are capable of. Someone else said it on here earlier he seems like a villas boas character. I don't think they can win the champions league with him at the helm. I get the impression the players just don't respect him enough. I also think the lack of playing competitive matches every week will affect psg the English, Germans and Spanish teams are playing a much higher level of opponent every week

That's definitely the way to get things sorted. Worked very well for Antonio Conte

Another checkbook manager! In his disposal this dirty oil money and two supper stars plus very high class players in at every spot, and still complaining. January is just 3 month, so very close to sacking.

Emery was Not such a bad manager after all!!!! And he won the triple - but CL was too big for a club playing in a tier 3 league. Doesn't prepare you - not mattering how good a team you have.

Struggle to think who exactly would instill a decent work ethic into that lot. The front three, in particular Neymar, are untouchable. Last season he was picking and choosing when to play and the manager had no answer.

Problem is their front 3 is world class and every other position would struggle to finish In the top 10 in the premier league

There's Rabiot, Nkunku, Lassana Diarra and Bernede who can play there. Stop complaining and get on with it, Tuchel.

Tuchel gives me serious Villas Boas vibes. A know it all/nerd type that knows football but needlessly over complicates things. Can't connect with the players and management above.
