The first question that comes to my mind in this case is, why is Mbappe's mother lying?
They signed Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi less than a year ago.They are an actual team now though. They're not just signing mercenaries like Buffon and Dani Alves.
Take a sabbatical?He shouldn't go to other club on a World Cup year.

Keep playing for his current club? Nobody knows what is gonna happen to Madrid next season. They aren't playing, they are surviving. They need to rebuild. It could work or not. Next season they would need City to miss 173 goals again.Take a sabbatical?
That will need a contract extension and he wouldn't want to tie himself up with a complete bottlejob team like PSG for that long.Keep playing for his current club?

Glad to know someone on this forum has more intel about the deal than Mbappé's mother.
Whose place in the team does he take at Real Madrid?
He will play in the front 3 with Benzema and Vinicius.
The problem is more that Benz plays centrally, Vini on the left wing and Mbappe isn’t really working on the right wing. You cannot bench Vini. He was far too good.Instead of who?
Neither I have more intel than her nor my message implies that I do.
PSG has the means to dwarf any offer Real Madrid can make. Hence I think it is extremely naive to believe PSG is trying to convince a player who has waited until the end of his contract by just equalling the best offer Madrid can make.
'almost identical'
She apparently didn't say they are equal.

Surely Poch's days are numbered with player manager owner god Mbappe in control?
What a circus PSG has become. Resident PSG fans - you must surely hate a potential deal where you’re giving so much power and control to one player (or do you not mind)?
Fair.Nobody in his right mind would like that. But as I previously stated, it would be ridiculous to draw any conclusions from news posted today when yesterday, all the so called journalists were saying the deal was sealed with Real. Media HAVE to invent a story where PSG did something insane to convince Mbappé, otherwise it would reveal they're full of sh*t without any info and that their artcile for the past month were pure invention.
Fair.
How do you feel about your club generally though? Do you think the soul of your club is slowly being eroded away? It seems each year there’s an added dimension which makes it seem that much more empty.
I remember when the Qataris first rolled in, it felt a different, more ‘real’ project then when you had the likes of Ibra, Matuidi, Maxwell etc there. These weren’t the cream of the crop type of players (maybe other than Ibra) but you felt they were still playing for the shirt.
I guess with this noise around Mbappe, Messi moping around the pitch, Neymar being unavailable etc, it just all seems a bit soulless.

Yes, i agree with you and should have probably phrased it better. Obviously Benz, Vini, Mbappe would be the front 3 at Real.Mbappé on the right does work pretty well but it seems he doesn't want to play there anymore. Vinicius on the other end is just bad on the right.
Who are the so called journalists you are thinking of?
Pedrerol, who is normally very well informed, said the day before yesterday he had a bad feeling about Mbappe's signing. He also stated that everything was agreed with the player in September but everything changed one month ago when Mbappe made those statements nobody at Madrid understood.
But forget journalists. The most revealing part has to come from Mbappé's mother. With all the financial muscle PSG have, she wants the world to believe offers from both clubs are "almost identical". Honestly, to whoever is so naive to trust that, I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn they may be interested in.
It was Di Marzio who said/confirmed about controlling the club, and many of the tweets in recent months about the net salary + commission have come from Le Parisien/RMC/Lequipe if I'm not mistaken.You have a pretty big collection of journalists in the Madrid Zone posts above.
As for the offer, you litteraly have nothing to back that up and it's been routine for Real Madrid to pretend they spend less for players than they actually do. We've seen it with Hazard, with Vinicius, Real Madrid like Barcelona want to look like they barely have to pay the players because they all dream of playing for them and yet, they always endup with the biggest wage bills in the world bar City.
PSG's offer might be higher, but the rethoric spanish sources are trying to sell with 300, 400 or 500M in salary reeks of sore looser. One says it's the bonus, the other says they're pretty much handing him the club, other says it's the President who intervened, there's just nothing consistent.
Did the Quataris sort of drop the ball on his initial contract? Everybody knew when he was signing for PSG that there was a very real possibility that he would not re-sign there so why did they not make his contract 1 year longer (in return for a higher signing on bonus or something)? After all, they want Mbappé to be at PSG for the World Cup this year, but then after they probably wouldn't be as bothered about losing him. Seems like a stupid miscalculation on their part to begin with.

And that doesn't take away from the fact that obviously the Spanish press will exaggerate if we lose him in the end, but in any case I guess the final offer will come out eventually.
Ah ok. Didn't realise that there was such a short timeframe in contracts in France. That makes sense.It's likely he didn't accept more than 4+1 years. I'm not even sure if it's possible in France to have 1+5 contracts considering 5 years is the maximum duration.
Nobody knows anything, what a mess, I hope it's over now, I'm like the meme of the guy with the swollen vein in his neckRMC and Lequipe say that they don't know, same with France Football. Le Parisien are the ones that have been selling stories and they haven't been reliable in a while. Currently french reliable sources say that they know nothing.

I imagine a no from Mbappe and losing the Champions League.
It's not actually a short timeframe. According to FIFA statutes the maximum length of a contract is 5 years, so whenever you see longer contracts you need to take into account the fact that the 6th year is in murky territories.
