Doubt he'll go, Saudi seems like the place for superstars of yesterday to have a final big pay day (Ronaldo) and overrated big name underachievers (ASM). Best player in the world right now at the peak of his career? Don't see it.
£259m? Well that certainly opens the door for 'fair market value' assessments then. Can they also buy Ryan Fraser for £100m? I mean, he's a full Scottish international after all.
For NGolo Kante it makes sense - 32, awful season last season, and offered a ridiculous contract of nearly £2m a week. Mbappe has ambition and wants to win the real competitions.
ASM has gone mate, you can let it go now. Your magic has worked on Shelvey and Maxi, so now you can target Fraser, Hendrick, Hayden, Darlow, Lewis to hound out.
No way! There is a very limited number of things you wouldn't do for E700m - especially if you are free to go do what you want after a year I'd be amazed if anyone turns that down: 700m a year 58m a month 1.94m a day 81,000 per hour 1,350 per min 22.50 per second 5.60 in 0.25 second (the blink of an eye)...
Offer me 700m euros for a years worth of anything and I'd almost certainly say yes - I mean look to the deepest depths of your depravity and then see what's below that and I'd still probably say yes! Seriously though I'd endure an awful lot in a year, to set my family up for life, let alone play football for 8 of the 12 months before going on to an even bigger pay cheque next July elsewhere (Probably Real Madrid)
