He will go to Liverpool with their Nike connections unfortunately that coupled with Klopp staying until 2024 and Pep not committing himself to us, if I was a player would you come if Peps future was uncertain?
nope lok at connections between Fenway, nike stars like Le Bron James and Mbappe is one of Nikes stars as well, im sure there will be lots of backhanders to encourage it.
Correct - they did the same with Ronaldo at Inter in 1997, ahead of their pending kit deal; Mbappe is their new R9, their new Jordan. They’ll want him playing for one of their clubs for as long as possible, and will likely subsidise a lot of his *salary* there by increasing the value of their endorsement of him directly.
Nike will be determined to establish Liverpool as the top club in England to justify their investment, while also out of spite to us and United - both former partners who they decided demanded too much money to continue the connection.
From Mbappe’s point of view, it’d be a step up from PSG - Champions-elect of a much stronger league, a proven capacity to reach and win European Cup finals, and as you point out to the stability of working with one of the best coaches in Europe in Klopp for the next half-decade.
