Mhsc 1,097 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Mbappe would obviously be amazing (willing to believe his problem behaviour is genuinely down to PSG being insane) but I just can't bring myself to get onboard with us having 1 player making so much more than the rest of the squad, if it were feasible he could play here at 400k-500k a week I'd be down for it but the lad will be after millions per week not hundreds of thousands. A one year loan deal just to give him a home before he goes to Madrid feels like the only VAGUELY possible scenario, which still feels extraordinarily unlikely.

We're not a feeder club here to facilitate other people's moves. Signing Mbappe for a year as a stopgap for him is embarrassing and has nothing to do with us "being entitled". If he wants to play a few years here before following Hazard's route, we'd be extremely fortunate. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, so we put a 250+ million offer down just to get psg to accept it, then pay him 2 million a week for him to twerk for real Madrid 12 months later? And you think that's a good idea?

DH1988 1,348 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 This is what winds me up to no end, when we go for players the value doubles, when someone wants our players it’s halved, at least. Twitter reporting Brighton want £70m + Levi or £100m, if Levi was at Brighton, can you imagine the quote price? Easily £75m+ Conor quoted at £35m, £40m rejected in Jan, why would we accept it?

Vesper 30,164 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Kylian Mbappé: Al-Hilal submit world-record €300m bid for PSG forward Saudi Arabian club open to having Mbappé for only one season PSG want to sell France international unless he extends contract https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jul/24/kylian-mbappe-al-hilal-world-record-300m-bid-psg-saudi-arabia The Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal have submitted a world-record bid for Kylian Mbappé, understood to be worth €300m (£259m), and are willing to have the forward for only one season if that is what is takes to get the deal done. The move comes after Paris Saint-Germain left Mbappé out of their squad for their pre-season tour of Japan, determined to sell him unless he signs a new contract. PSG will accept Al-Hilal’s offer but there have been no talks between Al-Hilal and Mbappé, and PSG remain convinced the 24-year-old has agreed terms to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer. Al-Hilal will try to tempt Mbappé with a world-record salary and, mindful that it may suit him to come for only one season, are open to a deal that – even by recent Saudi Pro League standards – would destroy football’s financial norms. Al-Hilal offered Lionel Messi more than £350m a year to join from PSG but the Argentina forward opted to move to Inter Miami. It emerged in June that Mbappé had presented a formal letter to PSG, informing them he would not to take up the option of a one-year contract extension next summer. The club’s president, Nasser al-Khelaifi, said this month: “If Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay. But he needs to sign a new contract. We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free; we can’t do that.” Mbappé joined PSG from Monaco in 2018 for £166m. Saudi Pro League clubs have been spending huge sums this summer to sign players from Europe. Al-Hilal are one of four teams in the country owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which has majority ownership of Newcastle United, and have signed Rúben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Kalidou Koulibaly. They are are also closing on deals to buy the forwards Malcom and Aleksandar Mitrovic from Zenit St Petersburg and Fulham respectively. Mbappé had appeared close to joining Real Madrid last summer before renewing his deal in Paris. The world-record fee is the €222m Barcelona received from PSG for Neymar in 2017. The Brazil forward’s contract is due to expire in June 2025. Manchester United are not negotiating for Mbappé, with their focus remaining on Rasmus Højlund of Atalanta.

MoroccanBlue 5,380 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Caicedo's underlying metrics in both the defensive and attacking phase genuinely shits over any alternative. I can see why we are only keen on him as he completes our midfield with Enzo. Mhsc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
