Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
Ballon d’Or 1995, George Weah was present in Paris last October to present the supreme individual award to Rodri, Manchester City player. The former president of Liberia took advantage of his presence in the capital to look back on his time at PSG. A contract that almost never saw the light of day.
George Weah was one of the great figures of PSG in the 90s. Arrived in 1992 from AS Monaco, « Mister George » owes a lot to the Parisian club in its quest for Ballon d’Or, which then rewarded the best player playing in Europe. Yet, Weah did not favor a move to PSG.

” Why not ? »
“As soon as I was informed that PSG wanted to discuss, I said to myself: ‘Well, at least it’s the same Championship, in a big city, why not?’ » confided the former president of Liberia. Weah made his dream come true in 1995 by signing with the Milan AC.
