Not a chance that 1 year contract is real. The Saudis are crazy rich but they’re not that fucking daft. Basically a £1 billion project for a year. Not believing that

I was reading something about Saudi Arabia's plans recently, where they pointed out that the money being pumped into football was tiny compared to some of their other ambitious projects.

It may also be worth it to them. They've moved from ageing stars, to the biggest young player in world football. They're paying huge sums because players don't see it as a serious league - it may be that with Mbappe there, they can persuade more, younger players to go, and they won't need to be paid 5 times the salary, but maybe 2-3 times. Sign up some other top players on longer contracts, and that Mbappe money might just be a good investment.

I would agree with that if Mbappe stayed 3/4 years but to sign him with an agreement to leave after one year surely shows the opposite message? Doesn’t really sell the league. Maybe it’s just a case if they are simply that rich they want the shiniest toy to show off
 
Imagine throwing away a €20 note every single second for one year… and still being €63 million better off than at the start of that year.
