Are they really so stupid that they can't agree to a loan back to Monaco for the first year in any of those WR bids? Are any of the reported bids even true? I find it hard to believe that Monaco would turn down the kinds of offers we're hearing about for a player who will most likely decrease his value if Monaco doesn't properly replace the players they're selling and that'll be difficult. I think Mbappe will be as good if not better than last season, but not the team and that will affect his value.

Are Le Parisien reliable? Can this transfer window start off any worse?
I think its more sensible option for mbappe, imagine him making a transfer for 120 million and then failing to shine. At monaco he also has more chance of getting in france squad without a hefty price tag on his head.
Why would anyone do a loan back on a world record fee?
I think Mbappe is biding his time for two/three years before considering his move to Real Madrid, or EPL, or a world class club.
It's a gamble for him to wait yes as his value may decrease if he doesn't keep scoring, but if you sign for a club right now for 80 million pounds plus, they expect instant performances/goals and that is a gamble too (e.g. like people in the media said about Pogba).
Part of me thinks that Real Madrid might just be declaring to the market that Kylian is theirs with these mega bids, and then as soon as Cristiano (the greatest) is a few years older they will swoop in and announce the new signing of new Galactico Kylian Mbappe.

No, I agree it's not common. However, if there is so much interest in him, I don't see how they couldn't get someone to hold off another season. Especially a club like Madrid that can afford to wait another season as they transition their attack towards making way for Mbappe. You let him develop another year in his club, then even if he has a great world cup, he'll already be locked down. I think just turning down the offers puts much more risk on his value going down before next summer.
Risky from Monaco, turning down 100+ for an 18 year old. Have to admire the faith they have in him, thing is his valuation might sky rocket further to near 200 million, will that price the likes of Madrid out the market?
He will flop hard. or not
Will not cost 100 million. Maybe him+Fabinho. Neither the wheeler dealers at Real or United are such Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime as to believe that's an appropriate sum to voluntarily give up for a child that has no commercial value yet. It takes time to become a superstar, to build a brand. That's how world records are beaten.
Is Le Parisien reliable?
I find it commendable that him and Monaco hold on. Smart for their project.
But if the reported amounts (which I take with a grain of salt) are true, just imagine if he blows out his ACL halfway through the season. The would both be costing themselves a fortune.

It's a good move for him to stay at Monaco this year imo. Smart decision.
The thing is, Jose Mourinho manages Man Utd, not you, not me. So it doesn't really matter what you think is the best move. Mourinho always had strikers who can hold up the ball well which enables more players to camp around the box hence increasing chances of goal scoring opportunity.
If he fails to acknowledge the instructions, he will end up on the bench.

Maybe take a hint.
Pity for him he'll return to such a depleted squad by the looks of it.
The only thing about this is Di Marzio has maintained a few times over the past few months the latest being earlier in the week that he is our priority. I dont think we can get him but if Di Marzio keeps mentioning it I would be inclined to believe we are in play for him.
I really think we could get this guy tomorrow if we really wanted him. Nobody else is going to offer him first team football realistically. We can match any wages and any fee.
The question is why would we want to do that?

Just a bit of an update from one of Real's mouthpiece papers, I think the question mark over what position he would play in is fair enough as he's came to prominence in a 2 striker system but would probably play as a wide forward in most of the big teams.
What about what the player wants? He seems to have idolised C.Ronaldo as a youngster and is interested in Madrid, if we are to believe the reports.
Just out of curiosity, has Mbappe come out recently come out and say he's interested in Madrid? I mean, a lot of what the 'reports' are basing this off is, him having pictures with Ronaldo and posters of Ronaldo in his room.
I think Zidane's recent comments plus Mourinho being in Monaco recently, Dimarzio's comments, is smoke leading aa large Mbappe fire.
Was very similar last year with Pogba. When Real realised they lostout to us in the Pogba race, their usual mouthpiece started to blart out how Real don't want him because of x, y & z reason.
Why are we interested in Morata in that case? If we have Mbappe lined up?
Maybe he is staying at Monaco
We were linked a lot more concrete to Pogba though, only Di Marzio claimed Mbappe is our number 1 target.
Except Real and Real fans never really wanted him, especially at this price. Perez only took a look because Zidane likes him.
I'd say the other way around, Perez wanted and Zidane didn't. Zidane is very good.
Again, this will never happen, especially this transfer window. Yet, I still lurk around all this very speculative transfer targets. That's the smell of desperation.
Also my dating life.
I had always imagined that he would be a number 9. I am excited about the comparison with Ronaldo.Not so much with the idea of the new Henry.
Changing Bale for Mbappe wouldn´t change the situation of Asensio or Isco.
I think he's going to stay at Monaco and therefore the decision of Morata will be based in his desire to compete for a place again.
There's no way we are signing this kid.
I dont think there is any way any team is signing him this summer.
Very unlikely indeed.
He's going to have a huge signing on bonus when he moves! And he'll probably be one of the best paid players at the age of 19, just wow.
I think the difference with Mbappe over Bale as far as Asensio goes is age, it's one thing to try and get past a 28 year old who might fancy a move back home in a couple of years, than competing for a spot with a £130M 18 year old prodigy. As for position, Mbappe is a hard one to guess with but I can see why Zidane is thinking of him how he is if he likes a more traditional #9.
No, Zidane wanted Pogba, Perez didn't. He only tried to sign him half-assedly because Zizou really wanted Pogba
This guy should be our next target as our wide forward, equivalent of hazard, Sanchez.
Can not understand why we haven't thrown everything we have got at this guy, he is exactly the player we need to get the crowd excited and off their feet.
No real links to us either.
