Kylian Mbappe | Merci.

Rabiots mum wishing she was mbappes mum. She'd be loving this money circus
 
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.
What on earth can European clubs do?
 
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

Definitely more, but 300 is excessive considering there hasn't been a fee anywhere close to that for any player as of yet!

But I do understand where you are coming from.
 
I know the contract situation


Well surely you don’t think he’s worth 300m then?

Given the situation they would have probably snapped Madrids hand off for 100m if he was certain to leave for free
 
Kane is probably going to go for 100m 1 year left. So how much do you think Mbappe so much younger is worth?

Neither Kane or Hazard were put up for sale.

Mbappe has been put on sale by his club. PSG would accept half of €300m. So yes, it’s over valued.
 
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.

Not sure how international coaches would look upon their best players playing in a semi-retirement community kickabout.
 
Madness

Football is fecked isn’t it.
He’s not turning that down, no way €700m per season, plus he’ll get to play FIFA world Club Cup which is in Saudi and maybe help an Arab team to be the first to win, he then gets to rest for the rest of the season for 2024 Euros and then signs for free for Real Madrid next summer or he’s so f……greedy Saudi will extend his contract by 2 more years at €1bn per year, the football world has gone mad ?


I add a caveat that people thought infantino was crazy cozying up to the Middle East, obviously knew what was coming, wouldn’t surprise me if we see Qatar start to create a similar league with a sister team to PSG/United (If Purchased). I genuinely mocked at the First true club world cup tournament that takes place in 2025 but not now?

Super Rich Arab States will dominate the game, it’s very clear now what they are looking to do - Copy the Abu Dhabi City Model with multiple teams around the globe cherry picking the continents best players and then freely moving them
Between their clubs. Qatar will probably own ; PSG, United, Santos, Malaga, Ushuaia Reds, Inter Miami etc and Saudi Newcastle, Barcelona, Al Ahly, DC united, River Plate.

FIFA need to cap the wages for a player and soon before this whole thing gets out of control?
 
Because he wouldn't play in the CL if he was in a Saudi club? So your "no difference" comment doesn't apply?
I don’t think the world wide viewing figures of watching them struggle to get out of the group stages and then get spanked versus the first good team they face would be that high.
 
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.


Statement of intent, from SA we can do what the F… we want and buy who we want when we want ?

And on the flip side........... Barcelona being Barca.

Just a way to help PSG to get around FFP by artificially boosting their coffers through the so-called sale. Ridiculous. It's basically state funding.
 
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
Even though the Saudis are making big investment, I don’t believe for a second they offer him €700m a year. Even they are sensible. Mbappe will only join Madrid when he leaves PSG this summer.
 
The things boyhood dreams are made of. And he gets to share a pitch with Ruben Neves.

Seriously though, I wonder how they got to that specific fee? 200m and you're still blowing European clubs out of the water. Are we now seeing Saudi clubs competing against one-another?
 
Well surely you don’t think he’s worth 300m then?

Given the situation they would have probably snapped Madrids hand off for 100m if he was certain to leave for free

I think he's worth ALOT more than Kane and Hazard with 1 year left. Hazard went for 100m Kane will probably go for 100m.
300m is a lot thought yes, but I think he's worth a lot more than what people seem to think even with 1 year left.

They don't want him to leave anymore than Chelsea and Spurs want Kane or Hazard to leave
 
You do realize that this 700M salary is just a made up number? Why in the world would anybody know it. Not even Saudis are that stupid, if he is willing to go there and snag coins for a year before joining real, „normal“ wages like 150 a year would do. 700 is just made up bullshit.
 
football’s already dead, but this is just shagging its corpse.

I have no idea how someone can be so tasteless with their language, especially on a board that children roam.

People keep saying that the world has gone mad, and other such things, but where is the line drawn? £50m is no longer referred to as 'mad' for mediocre players.
 
Mbappe won’t go to Madrid after Middle East.

If you accept it then that money is too important to you to just give it up and play for some club that can’t make similar high money based decisions.

If they do then Real Madrid will probably have to do that in every generation for the rest of life as they always target the best in the world bracket of players.
 
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.

you really believe this is the kick up the arse football needs?

it's just adding to the lunacy
