Rustibrooks Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Wow being paid €700m a year for one year and getting to go to the club you’ve been wanting to go to after for free? I think he’ll go out there. Especially if he has a reported agreement in place with Real Madrid. Huge boost for the Saudis if he does go out there for building their league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see why he would possibly turn it down. It’s win win for him. He goes collects more money than you could spend, scores loads, leaves Paris where he doesn’t want to be and then joins Madrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 39 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: It changes things because it's no longer players going for one last payday at the end of their careers. It's (arguably) the world's best player at the peak of his career. All the previous money leagues from round the world like MLS and China have never managed that. Which means the esteem remains in Europe. That's where the best players in the world play. You can go to China and USA for money but you're not playing with the best of the best anymore. That's where we currently are with Saudi. But if they start to attract players like Mbappe then the floodgates will open But he would be going for a payday, supposedly a 1 year deal. Then he signs for Madrid next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop in the ocean for their sports washing project. It won’t happen but it’s very bad for football to offer these rumoured sums both in wage and fee.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 If he went, his ego would be unmanageable on his return: no club would have financial leverage on him so he’d be more of a loose canon than he already is. He could genuinely purchase a big club and be player-chairman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Where are you getting the wages aspect from? I thought that amount was to PSG for Mbappe (as he's under contract etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and he's already on £52m a year at PSG, I'm not sure if Madrid could afford those wages even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 If Mbappe has to stay in France for another year before he goes to Madrid then it doesn't make much difference if he pops off to Saudi and collects a billion. French League, Saudi League, both tinpot. Not like he's missing a chance at a decent title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 If he moves, even for a year that would be a massive game changer. One of the world's best players at his peak moving to a sportswashing league purely for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I know it's easy to say when you don't have hundreds of millions on the line but I would refuse to go out there out of principle. It's not as if he won't be paid mega money at Real Madrid anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
