Ah it makes sense now, cheers.
Kylian Mbappe | PSG
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Depends on how the contract reads. If it says they are required to buy him for X amount after the loan expires, with no stipulations regarding injuries or worse, then yeah they have to pay or try to fight it out in court. From Monaco's point of view, they have no reason to want to give PSG an out if he get's injured or worse. It will all be in the details of the contract between PSG and Monaco.
They don't have a choice, they have an obligation to buy.
This is what held up the transfer this long. How can you force a club to pay an option to buy, it's all been in the wording of the contract but apparently, PSG have no choice in the matter. However, they've been pretty damn savvy this season and they might have an exit plan just in case. That would really screw Monaco at that point, but it's unlikely that PSG would not be forced to pay the 'option' at the end of this season.
Where is UEFA?
If PSG are within the FFP rules, what can UEFA do?
Well well I wonder much he's earning now then.
FFP for fecks sake. What's next? Bahrain and Kuwait joining on the action? Azerbaijan? Brunei?
They're going to destroy Ligue 1, but I pray to the old gods and the new that they get kicked out of the CL in embarrassing fashion. Preferably by a team with a tiny budget.

Psg are like a child playing fifa and editing the team to get who they want, only this is real life. Monaco are a joke and P$G are a disgrace. You need an extra element to get that CL, buying a group of mercenaries takes a while.
I hope it all comes crashing down and the bubble finally bursts.
Why Monaco's a joke? They've made a fantastic business.
PSG are juggernauts now
Mbappe and Neymar will murder the Ligue 1.
Selling there best player to a direct rival, sell him abroad. They may as well present them the league.
To be absolutely fair the league was presented to PSG the moment Neymar joined them. Perhaps Mbappe wanted to go to PSG and they just honoured his wish, given that they were profit-oriented anyway.
Especially considering they're within FFP by the books. Of course most of the revenue streams come from companies they've generated anyways. They were already well around it. Now they're just giving it the finger too. It's baffling why people thought FFP would play a role here, they can't cut them out at the source which is just as well as they're going up against a fecking country. They've made the effort to placate the rules and play it by . UEFA won't do anything other than look in to it which will be nothing more than posturing.The moans
Everyone will be mocking PSG when they fail to win the Champions League next season but both Neymar and Mbappe are young and despite them both being great already it's still an investment for the future. They'd have been better prepared for next season if they had bought Fabinho and a goalkeeper instead of Mbappe.
They'll go into next season as a team with weaknesses but with this kind of talent upfront they'll get it right eventually.

This.
Very good move for Mbappe. Would have done anything to see him at United, but guess that window has gone. With some better defenders, PSG can be really good in Europe.
Did PSG even need Mbappe at this point? What with already having signed Neymar...
I question Mbappe's ambition somewhat. It'll be hard for him to ever leave PSG now. Sure they have a great squad but they will remain a small club with few supporters for the foreseeable future.
What's the transfer fee anyway?

I suppose you could call a 40,000 attendance in a glorified library "unique atmosphere "
A loan is the smart way to get around FFP, if they were okay to do the Neymar deal this year then they will be okay to sign Mbappe permanently next year for a similar fee. Definitely going to be some players leaving at some point though, sounds like Di Maria, Draxler and Lucas Moura are all at risk. I would imagine that those players leaving would go some way to getting back maybe near to two thirds of the Neymar money.
Move confirmed. I still think Madrid are a better team in Europe.
One year loan deal with obligation to buy.
Ya think?
How will they line up now? Two strikers?
I reckon Mbappe will roam on the right? Neymar LW, Cavani as striker.
Will be fun to see them being knocked out of the CL around April/March
You haven't been at the Parc ever, have you?
Where is UEFA?

There's always one...
He wasn't Monaco's best player but even if he was, they can't keep him if he doesn't sign a new contract and they can't sell him to a club that didn't made an offer.
I do agree as well.
This has been the case in Football for as long as I can remember.
The biggest clubs usually have the biggest wallets and can attract the biggest players.
Football (as life), is unfair, by it's very nature.
I don't understand why the sour grapes.
My gripe is with the likes of MCFC, because Pep is spending huge sums of cash, which could effect our own chances of winning the league.
My gripe is also with the owners who are not allowing (financially) Jose to buy a winger who can cross, which we are desperate for.
As far as transfers are concerned, they are in their own league.
Real Madrid was a child in 2009
Cristiano Ronaldo (96 M€), Ballon D'or
Kaka (64 M€), Ballon D'or
Benzema (35 M€),
Xabi Alonso (30 M€),
Raul Albiol (15 M€),
Negredo (5 M€),
Granero (5 M€),
Arbeloa (4 M€).
Total : 254 M€ 8 years ago
The player doesn't want to go abroad and renew his contract.
Monaco had to choose between 180 millions now or less than 100 millions next year (1 remaining year of contract, potential injuries or poor season..)
He's 18: he will have the opportunity to change of clubs in his career.
They make the Ligue 1 more attractive and competitive.
It's not a French phenomenon. Italian clubs like Milan AC and Inter have recently been acquired by investors from Asia. English clubs were pioneers.
The Bundesliga clubs can't be acquired by foreigners if my memories are good.
PSG will decrease its investments in the future for sure
Yeah, will very fun to see Real Madrid winning the Champions League once again.

Looks like a ballerina in that OP photo.
Despite the logic "we have to keep the winning team" I'm a bit disappointed that he has chosen PSG.
From what has been written his father had a preference for Paris. I do not like to see the parents involved in the career of their sons but in his case it was understandable that his opinion had an special strength. If I were a 18 years old football super promise, I don´t think I´d be mature enough to decide.
Seeing the economic ease of Paris I imagine he´ll stay in Paris for a long time.
I can not imagine Madrid opting for his signing in a near future, no matter how good he may be. Seeing that they have paid 5m€ million for Asensio, they will surely wonder if it is worth the risk of buying a player for 250-300 million in three or four years.
I would also like to know to what extent demanded so much money and place in the line-up(perhaps the Spanish press has written a sweetened version).
If he had wanted to play in Madrid, he would be here, not caring about the possible competition or the wages.
Félicitations @Ecstatic @BBRBB , what a team you got!

I meant destroy as in they will obliterate all the opposition in front of them, not destroying the league.
You're also being a bit cynical comparing the investment by a wealthy nation state that does not have democratically elected leaders, with the investment of businessmen who are trying to make money. One could argue that the billionaire owners of the likes or Arsenal, Liverpool or United are always looking for a return on their investment, and as such will never invest these outrageous sums in order just to win. Only Chelsea and City are different in that regard. But even Chelsea has learned to "behave" and is being more reasonable in transfer market.
Congrats @Ecstatic
