I do find it laughable that Madrid are complaining here.
Them, Barca and the top end of the Premier league have driven what is happening now really, the hyper capitalist ways and avarice of these clubs is what made them an attractive vehicle for these nation states to invest in.

Waste of a good player.
None taken, all I care about is winning the CL and same for Mbappe, Ligue 1 has become irrelevant anyways because any team that does win Ligue 1 outside of PSG get gutted within the next season by clubs outside of the league, there is absolutely no chance for an outside challenger to mount a consistent challenge. However, I don't overrated those other leagues as much as some do. I think the PL is the best because it has two top teams as opposed to the other leagues and yet City is very likely to win 4 of the last 5, but it's as much flat-track bullying for Mbappe to play with Liverpool/Man City as it is with Madrid/Barcelona in La Liga, once you get outside the top 2-3, the drop off in quality is just as bad that players like Mbappe would feast on, it's not proving anything at all.
At least he's staying in France instead of simply strengthening those other leagues like all other great French players have done in the past. It will make the keyboard warriors upset and they'll act as if he's irrelevant only to cream themselves and call him the best player in the world whenever he does something half decent in the CL, nobody's opinion matters, only the end result but it's nice as a former Parisian to see one of our own stick around for a few more years. He'll be 26 and at the prime of his career to explore other leagues, but if he manages a CL with PSG, there's nothing he can do anywhere else that will beat the love and admiration he will forever get in Paris.
There's nothing easy about being in PSG. You win the league, you were supposed to, you lose it then it's an embarrassment, and success is only defined by winning a title that's extremely difficult to win. I honestly would hate to be a player dealing with these sorts of expectations, but the money sure helps, and if you manage to deliver the ultimate goal then you're a god and never have to pay a meal at a delicious Parisian restaurant for the rest of your life.
There's something pretty hapless about Newcastle. But it'd take almost United style management incompetence not to quicky advance on the top positions.
It's very likely City and Newcastle will become the 2 shoe-ins for the champions league each year, with whichever 2 of United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arse and Tott are best managed at that point in time joining them.
Nobody knows what future will bring but as long as he plays in France he will be rated less than if he played in big league. I think he is making misstake when it comes to football. When it comes to economics nobody can blame him even if he has already lot of money and wouldn't go hungry by playing in LaLiga, Premier League or Serie A.
All in all, I think he made misstake.
Who and what grounds will La Liga sue ?
Two birds, one stone. Mbappe to disappear off any footballing relevance proving himself as the mercenary he is. And Real Madrid fecked about in the transfer market. Love to see it.
absolutely no different to the mercenaries that make up our squad and have signed for us in the last 7-8 years against signing for city etc for trophies. All players are the same. Unless they are still at their boyhood club.
Hurt feelings.
City haven't won the CL either so I don't see why it , would be far more challenging to do so for PSG. Both clubs dominate their respective leagues with PSG having it much easier overall.
I don’t like PSG or any of these mega money owners (although I despise our owners as well) but I have zero sympathy for Madrid or La Liga. In fact I laugh at their whingeing bullshit.
They said that about him 5 years ago and still can't stop talking about him today, he'll be just fine. You can keep pushing the lazy narrative of mercenary (even though Madrid offered pretty much a similar package), it just doesn't stick as well when he's being a mercenary for the club of his home city.Two birds, one stone. Mbappe to disappear off any footballing relevance proving himself as the mercenary he is. And Real Madrid fecked about in the transfer market. Love to see it.
The argument is that City gets a bit more challenged on a week-to-week basis which helps them in the big meetings of the CL and they have a much more stable structure and a manager that's at the full maturation of his project with a new injection of much-needed blood at the #9 with Haaland. PSG still has a lot to prove as far as putting a structure in place and a project they can stick to and develop. The thing is the CL is also a complete mystery where the best teams don't always win, which is why it's so silly to base your entire existence over it, but here we are anyways.
Someone do the maths on this sht. Its too big a numbers for my head! 555,237,619 + 115,225,000 + 77,929,955 = 748 392 574 Total package for 4 years? 748 392 574 / 4 = 187 098 143 per year? 187 098 143 / 52 = 3 598 041 per week? 3.5 mill a week?!! Yeah its Euros and total package but thats what it is right?
Eating a meal? a succulent Chinese meal?
So you don't think that there is any value for a high profile player to stay in his home country and potentially elevate the profile of his league. I do think that we need to have a serious conversation on that topic because people seem to suggest that top players should leave Ligue 1 because it's a nothing league but Ligue 1 is the league that produces the most player for top clubs but these players tend to leave because wages are not as high in France. If I understand correctly people are against the idea of seeing a league that is producing talents to grow, they want to see a continuous leakage of talent.
There is no value for it in the current context: a single team in Ligue 1 dramatically dwarfs all the rest in terms of budget, and the player in question plays for them.

You're probably, it was probably only because it was Real Madrid. I actually saw the same kind of agitation when Jovic or Rodrygo signed. Oh wait, we didn't. We didn't even see half of that for Hazard.
But I mean, to determine if he was a big deal we'd need something crazy like Real Madrid fans chanting Mbappe's name in their own stadium, THAT would be insane.
Oh wait, they did.
But yeah, not a big deal right?
There is a marketing value whether you like it or not people care about Mbappé and that's why so many people are out here being all wound up.
The funny thing is the only time he truly sides with Real in anything is when in its in regards to one of the oil clubs one-upping them
£256m contract. For one person.
Look at what’s going on in the world. The poverty, death and destruction.
Makes you feel sick.

Agree really. He's still young and there is a chance for him to win a first CL with PSG, which is a bigger deal than winning the 14th CL with Real Madrid. I think if he achieves that, he will leave. Probably feels right now that there is unfinished business in Paris, and we also get to see if the combo with Messi and Neymar can develop (hopefully under a better manager).
The downside is that he will not really be considered for awards like the Ballon D'Or unless he wins the CL. I can't remember the last French based player who won it. Was it Papin?
Ah yes, I see you know your judo well.
Teasing
Well remember Messi brought in 30% of Barca's revenue (even though they signed the contract with Spotify that was their biggest ever after he left)
I said it in the Mbappe thread and I’ll say it again, PSG massively contributed to play values spiraling out of control when they signed Neymar and Mbappe in the first place. Now they are ready to completely unbalance contracts, which if we are being honest, we’re ridiculous anyway.
Now we have a club spending way what’s probably equivalent to the entire transfer budget of the rest of France to extend their own players contract and on top of that opened the door for even more player power.
What we can expect is that FIFA and UEFA will cowardly not enforce their own rules on financial regulation.

Your club played its part let’s not forget that.
For me, league is always number one. Even if I played in farmers league at some other continent league is always number one. Something you should have in bag. Every season unless something strange or unpredicted happens. To win Champions League is different matter and you have tried but didn't have luck or couldn't take next step. Maybe he wants to win it for Paris. Maybe that is the only reason he stayed. That would be nice but with the money involved I think that decided because he could have the same chance with other clubs in bigger leagues. If not bigger chance. I still think he made misstake from football point of view. I see it as if Ronaldo, instead of playing in England and Spain stayed and played for Sporting Lissabon until he was 26. If he hade same development as he did now.
That bold text is spot on.
Weah won it based on his performances for PSG but he was transferred to Milan that summer.
The main reason is the other clubs don't have the financial capacity to keep their best players.
It's a different debate but I think a league needs to have a couple of clubs with equal financial capacity. I don't think it does PSG any favours if the league is irrelevant to them.
Real are pathetic. First pioneering this super league debacle, and now throwing their toys out of the pram because they can't have their shiny new toy.
I do feel its a bit of a waste for Mbappe to spend his best years in the French league, feels like a massive waste.

So are the CL and World Cup no longer considered the top level of football?
Incredible scenes.
Isn't LA Liga a 2 team league? Dwarfing all the rest of the teams in terms of budget?
I think you missunderstand me. From football point of view I think he made misstake because he will play in league where you basicly have won every season unless something unpredicted happens. There is nothing in it for Mbappe except tons of money and to try winning Champions League. Will that make him one of the greats by playing in that league? Of course not. He has potential to be that but he needs to prove that on higher level. Not against Metz or Bordeaux.
La Liga no shame. Also suddenly La Liga is pillar of morality,class and fairness, miss me with that shit. They cant have their way no more with ez like before, so they cry now.

Weah got it in Milan but mostly for his season at PSG. On the other hand, i wouldn't obviously count Messi's Ballon d'or.
Mate, take a look at the Messi contract in the previous pages, it was a whole other dimension (even if he was obviously a superior player, he earned 3 times what Mbappé is getting).
300 million of signing fee
I called this with both Haaland and Mbappe. You will not see either in La Liga, that balance of power they had is now gone. Magically you will now see the BRAND NEW MESSI V RONALDO RIVALRY doe a death now. Coincidence im sure
