Madrid can always go for Kane instead!

Nobody can resist the allure of Madrid

Is it me being very pessimistic or anyone worried about the recent developments regarding Mbappe and PSG?

If he decides to stay then Madrid will go for haaland with full strength for sure. Hopefully we get it done before that Mbappe tug of war..

First of all, the recent developments you talk about are noise from French media. Mbappe will be at Madrid. It is nonetheless funny seeing Marca and As having media from elsewhere giving them a run for their money.
Secondly, this line of thought that they could just call him and he’d drop us the very second is giving the Madrid media narrative too much attention. We play for the better and stronger league, we have the best manager, we have the better squad, we have the better sporting project, we are financially healthier and can pay better. He hasn’t chosen us because of Benzema or Mbappe at Madrid, he has chosen us because of what we offer in all fronts at the moment is superior and the better career choice

It's fairly common knowledge though that City's policy is not to stand in the way of players that want to leave. It may well have been a negotiating tactic to say well let him go rather than meet demands for a low buyout clause for instance

It wont be on the cheap thou
Berny wasnt happy and City wouldnt of stood in his way & no club actually bid & then Ferran was allowed to go & we got more than double from a supposedly skint Barca.

Sorry but I don’t believe for a second that this was brought up in any negotiations. If this is a factor, it doesn’t need to be said out loud. Agents know from a distance which clubs are complicated in releasing players and which are more flexible

So you don't think a conversation around a potential release clause will have taken place?

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Ballbag chats some shit, making out that no player would want to stay at City long if Real and Barca are in for you. As if we'll only offer him a 2 or 3 year deal, it will be either 4 or 5 you English club hating idiot

I'd rather it be a 5 or 6 year deal

Madrid having issues with Mbappe , Mbappe wants to own all his image rights. Madrid don’t want that.

We’ll let you own your image rights, Kylian!
