Same. Monaco probably come out and deny it soon, like a soap opera.

Doubt it pal.
That deal is less than they would get from literally any-one else and PSG are direct competition for majour honours for them which in itself (If true) Is batshit insane.

Also, i think an account called "parisunited" may be a little bit biased and hopeful about news regarding PSG

The thing that worrys me about this is the fee... if we pay 150mill for him on a 5 year contract what if he wants to go to madrid 4 years into that deal? They wouldnt pay no where near that amount... the transfer fee is so high when the player inevitably moves theres gonna be a huge loss on the fee we paid

Or he renews in two years, we sell a couple of years later for £220m (prices and football inflation don't go down) and make a huge profit after having him for four years. He leaves at 22 to his boy hood team.

or 1.5 Lukakus. No point trying to work out what is value in this market.

Questions I would ask:

1) Does he significantly improve the team, if so
2) Can we afford it?

I am in denial mode at the moment. If PSG are really in for him, then why haven't they concluded the deal, or at least made some headway with it?

You missed out (3)

(3) Would we get a bigger improvement by spending the same or less money on alternative options. SImply if we can afford it, and he would improve us, does not automatically make it a good idea.

And don't get me started on Lukaku, FFS, what where they thinking.

I'll give it two hours before all the denials come out.

Have any ITKS's on here given any indication what City's stance is on Mbappé?

Are we in talks?

Will we pay?

What will we pay?

Genuinely, everything is so quiet from City that I wouldn't be surprised to see them bid big considering they said they would pay over a ton.

You can be pretty sure that media reports that City have spoken to Monaco about Mbappe are correct because it is common knowledge the press pack (or part of it) overheard something on the preseason tour and I have had that confirmed by someone who was there.

The counter point is that PSG and City can afford to do whatever their owners want. Being pedantic "affordability" is not the issue for us: as we all recognise, it is the rules of others that can prevent us spending what our owners choose.

Ultimately, I am happy for our owner to spend as much or as little of his own cash to further City's aims: aside from the fact, he is the majority shareholder, he's earned the right by investing so much already. If he wants VFM - fine; if he wants to splash his cash - fine.

No, we have to work within the rules, as you say. It's not a matter of having limitless money or not. Money we spend on McMuffin cannot be spent on other options, so it has to be sensible in its own right.
