Kylian Mbappé | Real Madrid Player (pg620)

Not anymore, they also have to play under the FFP rules in both Spain and Europe. They spent £1.5 billion on the revamped stadium and took out very big loans, So just like Barcelona they will need to cut their cloth for many years until they start splashing the cash like they did.

Just like Barcelona they now hunt down players with small contracts or free players, They work on past glories and empty promises, it takes them 2 years to work on the player they want and offer them daft signing on fees and wages knowing their contract runs out and hope they don't sign a new one.

We saw it at City with B.Silva, They were trying to tap him up and get under the players skin, doing dirty tricks and getting information on what was in the player's contract and hoping they have a get out clause.

I'm not too fond of the sort of players like kylian-mbappé, they are the players killing the game and using football clubs to take money out of the game or hold them to ransom to get every last drop, He's been tapped up from about 3 seasons ago and Madrid knew when they would get their man and for peanuts,

it's happening with Haaland right now they will be trying to get into his head and want him to run down his contract and walk away for peanuts at City,

They're still the richest club in the World though, and very different to Barcelona.

Barcelona's problem was they reached a bit of a tipping point with the Spanish FFP rules. Despite being one of the ten richest clubs in the World, they were on spending limits that would embarrass Luton.

Madrid are bound by the same rules, but because they were still growing their revenues, and stayed just the right side of the rules, they can still spend huge amounts.

I agree with the general thrust of your post though - they chose to use their power as the "ultimate destination" to turn a player, and put the money into wages rather than high transfer fees.

Hahaha wtf. Sorry if already posted but that’s going to be a fairly short conversation. Arteta is such a fanny

No idea what the attraction is to Real Madrid. Their fans are shite, and other than the weather what does Madrid have over Manchester?

Wonder if the UK press puts players off coming here? Or the league being harder?

What other choice is there?

He wont join City because Haaland is here.

Chelsea, rags and Arse are nowhere near the level he would want as a superstar.

Barca have no money.

Bayern is the same as PSG.

Hmmm.

Outrageous player when at it.

Imagine Haaland and him up top together.

Need to be careful he doesn’t go to a direct PL rival.

They’re huge. One of the biggest clubs ever and an absolute institution.

Whatever happened to the dippers whip-round they had on the go a while back to get him?

 

[Master-Lotus]

If he's leaving for free why wouldn't we go for him?

Do you think Liverpool top brass refusing to go for Mbappe forced Teeth to exit?
I wouldn't be surprised at that. Not one bit.
Especially if the lad is saying he's interested.

Surely he would play for free like all the other players

Rumours going about in Spain that we’ve held talks with Mbappe. More like agents trying to get more ££ from Madrid
