Kylian Mbappe | Signs new PSG contract until 2025, La Liga says they intend to file a complaint

Think he might win them much more than the Figo transfer brought them. It is not as huge in terms of media, but Mbappe on a free at his age might be the best deal of all time (maybe after Ronaldo for 80 million pounds).
Definitely below Figo, that one will never be topped. Would have been like SAF signing Gerrard in 2005
Cristiano, eh, there never was any real anymosity or anything with Manchester United(the opposite, in fact), and the deal was pretty much already done for a year, even before Flo's comeback. It definitely was a flex though. I'd say if Mbappé signs on January 1st, after the way Leonardo and PSG acted and reacted last summer would be a as much of a flex. If he gets Halaand too, then this would be a flex comparable to 2009, yeah
According to Bild, he has an agreement with Real for 50M/ season.
A transparent case of the desperation of the football marketplace to anoint a new Ronaldo/Messi level player to push the global brand/product forward as those two great players decline.
Overrated imo.
Overrated imo.
Sports witness/Bold are about as reliable as my sphincter though, right?
Sounds like bollocks.
They can't push him like that right now even if they want to.
Lewandowski is currently outperforming him massively. If he was from Brazil, France or England this wouldn't even be a conversation.
If Mbappe wants that status he'll have to dominate like Messi and Ronaldo did.
Marketing can only take him to a certain point in these conversations. Neymar had all the marketing power in the world and still never claimed the throne.
Reckon it'll go the 2000s way very soon. New "best player" title winners emerging. No monopoly I predict. Post Lewandowski's decline obviously. Reckon he has a few vintage years in him!

I agree but the push for him as some sort of prodigy is boring and annoying.
Why is it boring or annoying? Since when only Messi/Ronaldo level is the considered as the only valuable standard?
Is there any other player on the market that offers that number of goals and assists? and that he is 23 years old and not 33 like Lewandowski, of course.
The numbers are exaggerated. I don't sincerely believe that Madrid will pay him 50, it will surely be 25 net + 60% image rights + commissions.
Expensive but we have also saved 200 million. It's a shame this is the case, but Cristiano and Messi have 300 million followers on Instagram, much more than any club, so it's reasonable to approach the squad by looking for a big name.
I have a feeling that Real will pull the Ronaldo / Kala / Benzema type of summer transfer window this summer. Mbappe is first - Haaland will follow for similar wages. Then maybe Pogba.
Beyond a big name. Outside of Haaland, there isn't anyone under 23 that is as good as Mbappé. On paper it's a massive signing and a potential game changer.
How reliable is Bild when it comes to football related content? Aren't they just the German version of The Sun?
Yes and no. Yes, they are like The Sun , but they do have quite good sources in some clubs, but not in all. So I'm not sure how reliable they are for Real news.
Each of them will demand similar wages. I don't know how is it going to be feasible for them.
Halaand and Mbappe are the next 2 superstars (like Messi and Ronaldo). Pogba and Mbappe ? Sure but not all of them.
Plus Mbappe is better anyway.
I'm not saying that. The football market is desperate for another mega-brand cash cow player like Ronaldo and Messi, they want someone like this. The over marketing of this player as if he is the next "of that level" player is what is boring.
But there’s plenty over 23 and 23 isn’t that young for a player anymore.
50m is madness quite frankly and if he is in any way underperforming he will be impossible to move on.
Not sure how Madrid will pay Mbappe and Haaland €50m a year each. Maybe that means Haaland might go elsewhere now?
It's Ligue One. I know all the footballing hipsters will come and tell me it's a hyper competitive league and it's not easy but he plays for, by far, the most dominant team in a weak league. He is padding out his stats in that league. He would not get anywhere near the same numbers in the Prem imo.
Depay is a great example of this
Yeah, yeah, Ligue 1 is shite. But Mbappe's CL record is 31 goals and 27 assists in 53 matches. That's a g/a every 69 minutes in the CL.
Are those players available and for how much? Also plenty is stretching it.
Well, we'll see. In any case, he's not going to play in the Premier. Hazard and Coutinho were very good there and in la liga both sucked, and surely there are many opposite cases.
La liga is not as physical as ligue 1.
He may be able to get big records. Obviously I hope there will be an evolution in his game and put a lot of pressure on him to improve.
His numbers in the Champions League are very good and in the French team he has also proven to be a top player
Pepe as well.
Is he also padding his stats in the Champions League?
Cool, now do knockout rounds.
Pepe had one good season statistically and he has never been rated anywhere near Mbappé. Depay was also not rated like Mbappé in Ligue 1. What you are doing here is basically comparing Salah with Ings or Lacazette.
He didn't score in the group last season until the last game against Basaksehir. He then scored four versus the worse Barca side in decades and a couple versus Bayern. Then didn't score and was benched for the semi-final vs City.
The season before that 19/20, he scored three against Club Brugge (again) and one v Galatasaray and one v Madrid. Then scored v Atalanta in the knockouts Quarters.
This season, he has scored 2 vs Club Brugge in a dead rubber match. One v City and one v Leipzig.
No, just showcasing how weak the league is. Bang average players can look like £70m players to professional scouts and club recruitment teams in that league. Mbappe is boosted by being in that league.
I don't think Madrid are interested in Pogba, Haaland I don't think he will sign.
Mbappe, Tchouameni y Kounde , that might be more possible.
Or random players have good season? Which happens in literally every leagues.
11 goals and 3 assists in 20 knockout matches. Any further caveats you want to add? How many did he score when the Westfold fell?
You forgot a season.
Monaco?
And I did my maths wrong, it's actually 13 goals and 3 assists in 21(?) matches.
When did it become hip to not rate Mbappe? I must have missed the memo.
