Obviously, he could turn out real good, but for a player that young there's like 75% chances he doesn't live up to the expectations. I just mean that there's absolutely no guarantee he'll ever reach the highest level, it's a huge gamble.
It’s odd in a way, he has very few options.
The deal he has at PSG is almost impossible to match anywhere else.
Perhaps we could get a friendly Qatari discount
Imagine him and Haaland playing together feck me. Don't think Pep could make them work together in his system though.
Didn't they spend about €220m on Neymar? I can only imagine what Mbappe will cost.
Weren't they rumored to be interested in Maguire - probably nonsense, but...Maguire, plus, let say, Sancho, plus something approaching 9 figures in 'cash' (enough to buy Martinez or similar striker) for a player out of contract next year might bring them to negotiations..It’s basically Real or nowhere to be fair.
He had one year left in 2021 and Real allegedly offered 180M€.Mbappé literally has one year left in his contract.
Mbappé literally has one year left in his contract.
And PSG don't need the money or the sale. They'll take somebody to the cleaners.

If Utd is to be owned by Qatar, which is looking very likely now, it would be in their interest to sell Mbappe to Utd tbh. The meaning of my comment which you seemed to miss was that we could potentially get him for a very good price. PSG's owners don't really need much money anyway, especially with all of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe leaving their wage bill.Didn't they spend about €220m on Neymar?

That's not really up to them so it's not much of a position.Not that simple if their negotiating position is that they refuse to let him go for free.
Adding in those two would only enrage them enough to ask for over 300m.Weren't they rumored to be interested in Maguire - probably nonsense, but...Maguire, plus, let say, Sancho, plus something approaching 9 figures in 'cash' (enough to buy Martinez or similar striker) for a player out of contract next year might bring them to negotiations..
Not that simple if their negotiating position is that they refuse to let him go for free. Unlike Spurs who seemingly are willing to let Kane go for free in a year, if need be.
It'll be a minimum of 170-200m imo.They'll get a lot of money for him. How much do you think he'll go for?

Your club was barely top 4 quality (in France) before Qatar. Your club peaked at being a good European club years ago but Qatar wants more and so they try to artificially push you higher with all these super star signings.
Man utd is very different. Unlike your club, Man utd requires much less help to reach the top. Plus the club is not going to be held back by the league.
Of course, if Mbappe straight up doesn't want to join Utd then nothing we can do. He might be open to it though. If he was to be the figurehead in a Utd team that wins the title off the Treble winners, a team which has his biggest rival for the Ballon D'Or going forward, that would be quite an achievement in his legacy. Already reports that PSG aren't going to sell him to Real which was his 1st choice. Maybe he'll stay another year but I suspect he'd prefer to move now rather than waste another year of his career. Similarly if Utd does become Qatari owned it's very unlikely PSG would agree to sell to City, so again Mbappe would need to wait until the end of his contract to move. Outside of those clubs there aren't many clubs who could afford his wages. Utd is one that could though.Does Mbappe not get a say in it?
Chelsea's spending with no plan is a result of not just one factor. The team was already in need of massive refreshing. The loss of key top management members and an over enthusiastic owner with zero understanding of football.While the last sentence is obviously true, the rest isn't.
Qatar knows how to splash money and it made a huge difference for PSG, especially because it garanteed a top CL spot almost every year. That won't be the case for United. We'll see how Chelsea turns out but that kind of absurd spendings with no plan is totally something Qatar is capable of.
Well that'll be Grealish fecked though if it happened
With how hard Grealish works don't be so sure Pep is picking Mbappe ahead of him.Of course he could, Haaland up the middle, Mbappé on the left, Grealish gets dropped.
Watch it end up being fecking City.
Mbappe - Haaland
Grealish - KdB - Bernardo
Stones - Rodri
Ake - Dias - Akanji
Ederson
It’s basically Real or nowhere to be fair.
Isn't United getting new owners, from Qatar?
Not like United lacks financial muscles anyway, so here is the opportunity.
I like how a lot of us are done with this dude and his mom Still expecting an extension for a pay increase.
Think we should go for Kane. Not that Kane is on Benzemas level, but closest when it comes to the playing style.
Sure, but there has to be a buyer where he is open to go... He won't go to Newcastle (nor could they actually get him with FFP), Liverpool can't afford him I don't think, I don't think he goes to City, and Real Madrid I don't think would do 2 massive transfers in the same window. Fully think he's set to go to Madrid but United with the lure to compete with Haaland in the prem the way it is now, making it like Ronaldo vs Messi in La Liga 10 years ago, I could see that.Apparently the thinking behind the letter is to avoid the latter scenario.
He wants to get PSG a fee instead of leaving for free so this summer would be the only window they could properly cash in now that he has no intention of extending
