Me too tbh but most on here want the £100m/season spend to keep up with the Jones and FSG will never be that kind of owner. Everything fell right for us last couple of seasons, everything fell wrong for us this season. The reality with current owners is somewhere Inbetween....can people accept that? I doubt it.
Mbappe would be close to a £200m spend on one player with a £500,000 weekly wage though. Over hyped and over priced
Definitely some that believe it could happen. I'm mention it a fair bit but I'm definitely not one of the believers. He's not joining us because the financial situations don't match, not even close.
The Spanish two don't appear to have an abundance of cash atm, which could be a problem for Mbappe. Limits his choice to Man City to pay mega bucks, which may suit him with Aguero going. He will be asking for £500k per week minimum
Look wouldn't we all love the problem. Stay home and win trophies for your career and be a hero while collection millions or wait for the big move to real on contract running down. The boy is out of contract in 18months. He is 22 and under no pressure for his place in France or psg side. He can afford to sit and name his price. Real can always afford a free on the never never. They can squirrel image rights cash away just like Ronaldo's. Mbappe will move, the power is in his hands.
I agree. No one will stump up the transfer fee AND wages so they'll wait to get him for free instead. Edit; unless Barca can somehow pull off a swap deal involving Messi but I don't think they have ownership of him
That's why I put the bit about ownership in the edit. Think he's only a free agent if he gives sufficient notice of his intentions to leave
I think there will be some threats and will he won't he stuff with psg trying to force the issue one way or the other. It's not like psg cant afford to let him walk. I think it's more ego loss Mbappe has all the power Messi is out of contract in summer. Last year he has his clause but he didn't activate it until the CL was over and then wasn't let go. he now has the power to decide what will happen. if he had sense he would take a 2 year year with massive image rights somewhere. Go to bayern for the laugh even.
He's on a rolling contract. He's only out of contract if ge gives the required notice if his intentions to leave
I read he signed in 2017 and it runs out in 20201 but the cluase was a rolling one that he could activate at a set time each year to leave. the full details were leaked in el mundo by barca which lead to a big apology. details such as his signing on fee of $139 millionand $94 million loyalty bonus were given as well as his wage for $167million a year its hard to be the king. til lthe nice thing is his crap perfmrances have left him quite shy of that full mark with all bonuses. https://talksport.com/football/827251/lionel-messi-contract-leak-deliberate-barcelona/
