They pay 50m€ to the LFP to compensate.
Kylian Mbappe | PSG
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Monaco had a deal with a one-off payment to compensate for the taxes but it was deemed illegal so had to be paid back.

Only someone who is basing it on pure stats (which would still be madness to me but it's still the only thing I could think of)
I missed the reimbursement.
I thought he only scored a lot because he had a lot of shots on target? That he was really wasteful? 
Sadio Mane? Now, that's a surprise.I thought he only scored a lot because he had a lot of shots on target? That he was really wasteful?
edit: I solved the mystery why he seems to miss so many sitters, but still shows up here.
EPL: 14 goals - 6 big chances missed
CL: 1 goal - 8 (!) big chances missed
They also say Sadio Mane, one of the most erratic finishers, has one of the best conversion rates so...I thought he only scored a lot because he had a lot of shots on target? That he was really wasteful?
sorry but mbappe is different class. the epl teams are lucky he doesn't play for city
again it all comes down to manager getting the best out of them
but he'll be playing for barcelona or real madrid soon

Give it a few years & a few shady backhanders.
He won't be playing for them, anytime soon
2 goals today. Penalty & a late winner. Not the best goals you've ever seen, but hey, 2 goals.
He was dangerous the whole game If we take out penalties for this season, he has more goals in open play than any other player in the top 5 leagues, including Messi.
24 goals in 21 league apps compared to 25 (3 penalties) in 23 for Messi. In contention for the Golden Boot but think the three game suspension along with not being PSG's penalty taker (Cavani and Neymar have scored 4 each from the spot this season) will see it go to Messi for a sixth time. Still great from him though.
Yeah, short of an injury, I don’t think anyone is taking it from Messi without penalty duties for Mbappe (although he got to score his first league penalty today). So far I think he’s had a go at 3 penalties between France and PSG and the keeper had no chance at any of them. If he was the main penalty taker he’d probably give a good go all the way until the end of the season for golden boot, still might without it.
Ah yeah, forgot about that. transfermarkt hadn't updated yet when I was getting the penalty stats.
League games must be so boring for him.
After a world cup, that could have been a possibility but then again you're talking about a kid who keeps track of how many goals he scores in training.
@Ecstatic If (more likely when) PSG knock us out, I'll be rooting for PSG to win the CL. I decided I want M'Bappé to win the Ballon d'Or.
PSG/Qatar selling M'bappé to the United Arab Emirates/City looks like an impossible deal from a geopolitical standpoint.

I rate very highly players like Ribéry, Griezmann, Ousmane Dembélé...
However, if there is a single French player who has/had to succeed Zidane in the Ballon D'or winners list, it has to be him.
The difference between Dembélé and Kylian is that the latter acts like a 33-year-old professional player given his family environment.
He has all the skills required, the stats, a unique mindset and a destiny...
He played his 1st game with Monaco as a pro against his former club Caen at the age of 16...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The good news is that the Champions League will be more open than ever this season.
The worst-case scenario would be that Real Madrid wins it once again but - without Cristiano - this scenario is very unlikely.
Barcelona and Atletico are serious contenders but PSG has a revenge to take over Spaniards. Neymar destroying Barcelona in QF/SF. Please make it happen
Good man.

Do you not consider Man City serious contenders? Just curious I love the kid, really. I hope he wins the CL once with PSG while he's there.

I see Barcelona and Atletico as more experienced teams.
The English clubs belong to the same bracket for me
And here comes Hughes...
Mbappe plays in a 1 team French League. They would be top by far without him still.
Kane has been a 20 goal plus striker for 5 years running. In a very competitive league.
Also it’s my opinion.
That 1 team league has a positive record against English clubs in Europe recently. Same league regularly produces the standout players in the premier league.
Mbappe is breaking champions league records, and was one of the standout players at the World Cup .
Kane has a great record, and that’s to his merit, but we can only go so far back when talking about right now, and currently, him better than Mbappe?
The fact that it’s your opinion was never in question, but at some point “farmers league” just doesn’t cut it as justification.
Kane is 25 while Kylian is 20.
I want to see Kane in a more ambitious club.
Mbappé won a championship with another team in a "1 team league" and also won a world cup.
Meanwhile Tottenham and England still don't win anything, with or without Kane.
Mbappe actually scored less goals in his first season at PSG compared to his season at Monaco (when you know, he was an integral part of a team which won the title).
His goals have gone up this season which is understandable considering that he has been improving. He also has 14 goals in UCL in 24 matches, compared to Kane who has 14 goals in 24 matches (btw, Mbappe hasn't played as No.9 bar that match against us). He also has won a World Cup, in addition to 2 league titles (one each with PSG and Monaco), compared to Kane who has won nought. They've both ended twice in Ballon D'Or top 10 with Mbappe finishing 4 and 7, while Kane finishing 10 and 10.
Mbappe is the better player and has had a better career, regardless of the EPL is the greatest league in the universe, while Ligue 1 is a farmer's league nonsense.
Truth be told there is not much between Kane and Mbappe at all.
Both great players.Both have scored against elite teams and in big games.
The only difference is one is unfortunate to play for Tottenham and England.
And people need to stop overrating Mbappes world cup.
Yes he had a better world cup than Kane but its getting overrated by the day.
You could make an argument for Kane being better,you can make an argument although probably weaker for Mbappe being better.
If i had to pick one i would pick Mbappe though but both are proven.

Same could be said for Mbappe.
Offer me one for United and I'd take Mbappe any day of the week.
PSG is an ambitious club, the league isnt on their level though.
You could but it makes no sense to say it considering that they are the third biggest favorites to win UCL which is the pinnacle of club football.
And there are some on here who try to claim he's not technically gifted or skillful.
PSG spent around 400 millions of euros to acquire Neymar and M'bappé. Hard to find a club more ambitious than PSG.
If your point was to say you want him in a better league, then it's another story.
Kane is a world class striker, but that's it. Mbappe is a world class attacker. He can play all across the front line and his combination of physical attributes, intelligence, and technical ability hasn't been seen in a player this young since Ronaldo and Messi. I think PSG will win the CL in at least 3 years (City will be their biggest rivals) and he will be safely in the Messi and Neymar tier.
I'm picking Mbappe over Kane 11 times out of 10.
I'm picking Mbappe over Kane 11 times out of 10.
I'm with you on everything except him being "safely in the Messi & Neymar tier." That's a super bold statement.
Same story, a player with ambition plays for a team that has to compete for the league title as well as the Champions league, who's really talked about Neymar since he left Barca?
No doubt PSG are spending big (something they shouldn't be allowed to do, but that's another story) and they want to win the CL, but in order for a player to be considered successful there then it would mean winning the CL every year.
Real Madrid is the only one place to be then
