I mean, if I'm PSG then my stance is RM come pay now or he sits in the reserves for the next 10 months.
They can afford it, he loses a season, and RM get a player that's played nearly no competitive football for a season and it'll affect his form in the upcoming Euros too. Also sends a message to anyone trying it on in future.

Also, FFP wise, think only City could probably afford that likely £200m Mbappe fee, which is a scary thought.
The PSG-Mbappe saga is weird. They want him our or with an extended contract, but will demand a 150+m fee which will restrict the amount of clubs that are possible destinations. Not saying they should sell him for 10m or even 50m, but a little bit lower than 150m....
But also regardless of fee, Mbappe can simply refuse to join if it's not the club he wants. PSG are fucked if RM don't make an offer, hence why I'd scorched earth it.
City offered around 40m on deadline day when he was like 16 or 17 and all of us were like who??? It would be pretty fun to see him at City with Haaland even if it was only for a season. Think PSG would probably rather he sit out a year then sell him to City at this point though.

Yeah it's funny that poilitics is probably the biggest barrier unless City put in an indecent bid.
Obviously Madrid want him for free next year. But does he only want Madrid?
All things considered, he's become quite the unlikable figure and that's some accomplishment considering who he is typically associated with.

PSG are going to lose here no matter what I think. They basically have no leverage here, even benching Mbappe for the whole season won't do much.
Looking at RM's business this summer, their moves scream to me that they were definitely not planning on buying him outright this summer.
Mbappe is complicated, it’s a wild fee, a wild salary, and image rights. Also he wants prestige, a real shot at CL, to be the best player in the world and the center of attention.

By rossonero Go To PostIt'sbeen84years.gifHave you watched him before? Think you'll like him, he's quite the dribbler
Finally a proper RW….
By KimoSan Go To PostObviously Madrid want him for free next year. But does he only want Madrid?I'm sure Mbappe wouldn't say no to other top clubs, but forget the fee, the much bigger issue is the wage. RM and Barca are the only clubs who have ever paid that kind of money (until the Saudis came along) and it already broke Barca.
All things considered, he's become quite the unlikable figure and that's some accomplishment considering who he is typically associated with.
By FootbalIFan Go To PostHave you watched him before? Think you'll like him, he's quite the dribblerNo, unfortunately not. I just hope he will be better than Messias and Saelemakers, which is a low bar.
We need somebody that can get past the defenders and get the ball into the penalty area more consistently. My hope he is able tp do that and youtube says he is.

Tbf your signings post Tonali have been p nice.
isnt it funny how mbappes plan is to stay in Europe yet he wouldnt accept a lower wage than he currently has
By Xpike Go To Postisnt it funny how mbappes plan is to stay in Europe yet he wouldnt accept a lower wage than he currently hasWhy should he. He’s in Europe, on the wage he has, and will get even more on his next deal because there won’t be a signing fee.
All the twitter 'insiders' feeling like God is listening to them, Rice and Onana end and they get the Mbappe saga right after
By Meier Go To PostNot sure if this is a good or bad thing for Chelsea. Don't know anything about him.He was largely involved with the two Red Bull sides scouting and recruitment. He definitely had a lot of input on the deals for Werner (in both directions) and then Nkunku.
There's probably a bigger story here, but it might just be too many voices in the room and he's the odd man out. So they sack him but pay him for the next year.
By Cleff Go To PostplsI believe
Arsenal link to Mbappe always felt like a PR move to bolster the profile of players they are attached to.
Inter Miami can't defend. Cruz Azul can't finish in the final third. Whoever came up with this match up has a sick sense of humor. Worst MLS team vs worst Liga MX team. The Barça boys are on the bench.

But yeah the actual quality of football is really bad
By FootbalIFan Go To PostGOAT IS ONThe meltdown the Arab world had cause Messi chose Miami over their money was delicious.
incredible human
He chose freedom

By Laboured Go To PostTbf your signings post Tonali have been p nice.You're telling me there is a chance RLC and Pulisic do good in Milan?
No, but in all seriousness, I'm pretty impressed by the management. All the signings have a lot of potential, so looking forward to watching them play. Yesterday's surprise signing of Noah Okafor was damn nice.
