Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid Player (pg620)

[Blue Maverick]

I’m guessing it will all be tax free as well, the world has gone mad.

Pretending for a minute the claimed figures were real. He could follow his dream and go to Real Madrid now. Or he could go to Saudi for a few years, and then buy Real Madrid.

And think of all the takeaway pizza he could buy his family.

Don't the French have some kind of system for taxation on remitted foreign earnings? Probably won't be tax free if he ever wants to move home.

Paying Jordan Henderson 700k per week. Next.

I get the Saudi's offering a large package to Mbappe but i don't get them offering over the odds to PSG. Why not offer PSG much less and see what PSG say?

PSG probably called their bluff. I can see it now

Nasser Al-Khelaifi at one end of the phone...go on ask for 300m for a laugh.
Saudi - "Ok, what bank details?"
Nasser, "Shit. Fair enough, ill let Kylian know"

Saudi Arabia isn't completely irresistible. Fulham's Manager had turned down a move there.

Aren’t UEFA going to step in - like they did when Etihad sponsored us - surely this is an over valuation - oops sorry I forgot it’s OK cos it’s not us

I truly hope he gets the same loyalty back from Fulham or will he be out on his arse in 6mths if they have a bad run of form.

It does seem pointless, but maybe it's there for a number of reasons, for example...

- It's PR - they want to offer a world record. Even if it doesn't come off, it shows some other top talents that they are serious.
- In the context of how much money they're spending - £50-100m isn't significant, and this is the one big transfer that's possible, so they can prioritise it. It might also massage Mbappe's ego a little.
- They want to make sure that Madrid don't even try to compete.

What they're doing isn't based on normal football economics.

This bid will probably wake them up.
