I don’t think I mentioned the CL in my post? Why is that a factor?
Kylian Mbappe | Merci.
- Thread starter bosskeano
- Start date
That would be a good start. He's on like 2 million a month now isn't he?
Theres absolutley no way anyone could turn that down. PSGs transfer budget will be sorted for years.
Not sure why they felt the need to offer that much though when PSG would have been happy with anything around 100/120 million. Its not as if there is a bidding war.
And on the flip side........... Barcelona being Barca.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not convinced that top players will want to go there either unless they have money on the brain. That’s all they have to offer. The league is a joke, no European competition, no testing yourself against the top players
I love Barca's offer 
ah bless at least they're trying
ah bless at least they're trying
Because he wouldn't play in the CL if he was in a Saudi club? So your "no difference" comment doesn't apply?
€700m a year. That is absurd.
Will you accept €700m a year if you were Mbappe?
Well, he will play in the Champions League. Just not the UEFA one.
If this is legit it's on and Mbappe is in a no-lose situation.
Make THAT much money in a year in which he was willing to sit on the bench in protest to leave to Madrid for free. Then sign another mega signing on fee with them in the Summer.
Money it seemsI just read the full offer in detail. So they're letting him go to Madrid for free after a year. That's a bloody insane offer
The feck are they smoking over there
I'd do it if I was him. It's a win-win scenario.
It’s actually a clever move by Saudi and would be useful for Mbappe too.I just read the full offer in detail. So they're letting him go to Madrid for free after a year. That's a bloody insane offer
The feck are they smoking over there
With his fall out at PSG, he gets to make a shit load of money playing football rather than being alienated at PSG.
At the same time saudi get to bring the best player in the world to the league, raising its profile many folds and enticing even more players to the league.
Saudi probably see it as a Billion dollar advertising campaign.
Why is there no Saudi club bidding for Maguire? 
Does any Saudi club want me? I'll do any job
So they're essentially paying a billion euros to showcase how they won't be able to retain top talent? Nutters.
100% this. Boost the profile of the League for a year. You'd imagine that sponsors will be tripping over themselves for the year and the club/league will milk it for all its worth.
700m for 1 year . No brainer. Mbappe wouldnt even have to give 50% effort. Straight to Madrid in a year.
I know Saudi have money but feck me thats a 1B package for what 9 months of football?
Ridiculous. Football is in trouble isn’t it
Ridiculous. Football is in trouble isn’t it
HAHAHAHAHAH this is absolutely amazing I love it,
I want it to happen, football has needed a kick up the arse for years and these mad bastards are the ones to do it.
Newcastle fans must be excited they will eventually dominate the PL.
700m from Mbappe one year then Madrid? be absolutely bonkers not to do it.

Don't think so. Once Mbappe goes I think a good amount will follow. He will make it 'fashionable'
They will start attracting many younger players rather than ones towards the end of their careers I think.
This could really be a big moment in football.
Anyone ever think that maybe he’s had enough of Gulf money controlling his life and he just wants to feck off to Spain as soon as he can? That’s his dream. I still think Madrid and PSG will find a solution
Imagine spending 1 billion euros to have a player for one year. A fecking joke.
This is a crisis, I kid you not.
This is a crisis, I kid you not.
If it's just for a year I don't think it will make much of a difference but if he's there for a few years, the impact will be huge.
Why is there no Saudi club bidding for Maguire?
The arabic world has no respect for Maguire?
Feels like cheating doesn’t it
PSG getting way over the value of the player, Mbappe being paid ridiculous money and then in the end (12 months time…) Madrid get the worlds most expensive player for feck all
Are they though?
Can you imagine making €14m per week in Saudi to then move to Madrid and make €0.5m per week instead. He’ll be back to saudi after 1 week in Madrid.
He’ll be back to saudi after 1 week in Madrid.His dream is money. Madrid was just a nice excuse to get more from PSG.
I think if he accepts the AlHilal bid, he’ll be there for years. They would just offer him another billion for an extra year. And then again. Easy money.
I think the immediate impact would be huge. Mbappe is in or approaching his prime. I think players will almost feel that going there is no longer 'beneath' them.
Fashionable to take an obscene amount of money and then immediately f*ck off for the club you actually want. Doesn't say much about Saudi football does it? If anything a transfer like this will the catalyst for European clubs to act against Saudi transfers.
On a 1 year, definitely. If he had a few years left, then it would definitely be about right, for the best striker in the world, at 24 years old.
I don’t think so. They’re allowed 8 foreigners per squad. How many teams? Let’s say 20. So that’s 160 foreigners. Some of those spots are already filled like stocking fillers, absolute guff. Unless you’re money mad, a player will want to protect his reputation by playing in the best competitions. Saudi is a destination for old players like US was in the 70s
You think €300m for Mbappe who’s only got a year left and is threatening to leave on a free isn’t over valued?
Kane is probably going to go for 100m 1 year left. So how much do you think Mbappe so much younger is worth?
Hazard cost Madrid 100m euros 1 year left too
Yes. They are desperate to sell and wouldn't get anything close to that from Real.
Yeah he’s got 12 months on his contract
