They probably saw enough when he was at Seville.
Kylian Mbappe | Merci.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
You contradict yourself. If recouping money is an aspect (as it obviously is) than the price matters.
They still should, you never know
Totally forgot he went there. Christ his unveiling was done with a message from R9
feck sake, I almost feel we should apologise to themReally? What did he say?Totally forgot he went there. Christ his unveiling was done with a message from R9
I speak under correction but I believe Haaland has a release clause in his city contract which kicks in, in year 3 or something.
I think we should use any future fee for martial to pay reparations to Brazil!Totally forgot he went there. Christ his unveiling was done with a message from R9
“Hi Martial, how are you? Welcome to La Liga and Sevilla! This is a big club in Spain and a big club in Europe,” Ronaldo said.
“They have incredible fans and play in a fantastic city. So I wish you all the best, and hopefully I’ll see you soon. Big hug, best of luck.”
He appeared by video link and Martial was close to tears.
We're down to reading tea leaves here but Mbappé seemed genuinely elated to celebrate his two goals tonight and so was the rest of the team... So he's staying ?
Will be interesting to see if PSG continues to pursue RKM.

Fortunate to not be blinded….
Just came back from the stadium. Huge ovation from the crowd for Mbappe.
However even with two goals, he didn’t have a great game from what I saw. He made almost no runs (and Lens played quite a high line), didn’t defend much, and was very selfish on several occasions where he could have laid it off to a teammate.
And yet, as often, he still scores.
On a sidenote, I really loved Zaire Emery. That kid’s a fighter (and he also came to chant with the fans at the end of the game)

I watched the match and is in his defense, there really is no one anymore to spot his runs. He might have played his role in having Neymar and Messi (?) kicked out of the club (if you believe the tabloids i.e.) but he'll most definitely miss those two players who could pick out his runs. Especially Messi who would pretty much primarily look for Mbappe on all occasions. With Dembele and their current players, they really don't have anyone who can play those through balls or Mbappe with a quick pass behind the defense so you might see lesser output from him.
Agree that they lack creativity.
But there were lots of moments where Marquinhos for instance and Mbappe could have just made the run for a long ball (similar to what we’ve seen Lindelof do a few times with Rashford last season).
But even saying that he still manages to score
So just fully transitioning into becoming Ronaldo?
I think he's still some way away from that because he still tries multiple dribbles every game and has the pace to blast past his full backs and he's most definitely not just hanging around the penalty box looking for goals yet.
Standing ovation in a farmers league. Next.
Yup. Just like Rashford too
It’s this new breed of « moment’s players » who won’t do much during game but wait for a highlight worthy play to come ans score a goal or do something spectacular.
Not a big fan as it takes away from the collective but I guess it’s the game now
So, er, Mbappe not leaving this summer after all then, right?
No, he signed an extension, I suspect he’ll be here at Utd once Sheikh Jassim completes his takeover, no way Qatar are letting an asset like that out of their control.
He didn't sign an extension yet. He's back on the first team and playing. It does seem likely there's some sort of understanding or deal in place and he should not be leaving this summer.
Grapevine is that Mbappé and his entourage might still be loud throughout the year. Consensus is that he loves the attention.
Mbappé was also possibly considered for the armband along Marco Verratti, Presnel Kimpembe, Danilo Pereira and Marquinhos (the current captain, 3 years in the role inherited from Thiago Silva). The latter was confirmed in a double vote (show of hands then an anonymous ballot) by the squad. Gossip is that management wouldn't have minded a "new personality getting it to give a fresh start" or something like that, hence why they held the vote twice ? You'd be forgiven thinking maybe a certain star forward would be favoured by higher ups...
Edit : Verratti and Marquinhos have been here for a decade or so and are both very close of becoming the players with most appearances for PSG ever. Kimpembe has been at PSG since 2005 and is a local lad. Danilo I'm not sure why, maybe he's a big man in the locker room ?

Rashford was a consistent attacking threat and involved in a lot of our best play throughout against Forest. His assist was an effective, unspectacular 'bread and butter' job. What are you talking about?
He did? Do you have a source for that?

I hope this ends Perez obsession once and for all. Should have done so last year but here we are.
But is there any real credible source that says he wanted him this year? Other than Fabrizio saying that PSG believed Mbappe had a deal in place in 2024 with them, I haven't really seen any credible source saying Pérez was in for him this summer.
This does not say that he signed an extension as the poster claimed.
That crappy article states:
"He could even renew his contract."
"He could extend his contract for another two seasons, with a "private" clause for next summer, even if it's not technically allowed in France."
It is just wild speculation.
Tbf I only replied with that link as it is the only ‘source’ I had seen regarding an extension that other poster claimed.
Either way, hopefully this ends in 2024 one way or another.
3 matches, 5 goals.
219 minutes played to be accurate.
(2 penaltys)

Yeah, very extensive metric...
I am curious to know why you use the symbols "«" and "»". Is it an autocorrect gone wrong?
Just the french keyboard on my phone I guess
French punctuation gone right.
Merci monsieur
Aren't moments players just good old fashioned forwards by another name ?
Could be the good old fox in the box, but on the wings Instead of centrally.
My point was just that we see more forwards that don’t really get involved in the overall game, that can disappear but will popup for an assist or a goal, with quite selfish games.
It’s okay when it’s a center forward because you generally have at least 2 CMs and 2 CBs covering behind him, but it’s more dangerous when it’s a player on the wing because there’s virtually only the fullback covering
Another two scintillating goals.
I won’t be comfortable unless he is already at Madrid by the time Salah is sold for record money.
Liverpool can't afford his wages, never mind any signing on fee or transfer fee.
If Liverpool sell Salah, they need to improve their defence.
Nobody can afford Mbappe’s wages if we go by existing wage structures. Nobody routinely pays their players 700k per week. He is an exception and any team that signs him will make him one, including Liverpool if it were them.
He also has no contract in 9 months.
