This.
It was the most persistent rumour. For all intent and purposes, the Real Madrid offer is financially more interesting if Mbappé can effectively monetize his image.
First player to play for two clubs simultaneously?
Exactly this. I can understand PSG doing it but Real ? Come on. For once, have some balls and tell him to commit by a date or move the feck on.

He cares though and he cares about the terms. People are being weird about this, they claim that they don't care but want to know where he is going quickly.
Yep. Smells a bit like face-saving just in case like most clubs do, including United. Considering his mom said the offers were quite similar, maybe RM offered him a stake in the new Bernabeu?
Apparently negotiating the rights to his decision video.. Netflix are favorites to air it on Sunday.
It's his hometown club and he has mentioned in the past that he cares about using his image to elevate the Ligue 1 and he wants to win the CL with a french club. The actual question is what Real Madrid offers that half a dozen of other club doesn't?
Nah, no need honestly. Vini, Benzema and Rodrygo should be fine. Need backups and that's that
Vibes.
I wouldn't mind a cheap, young striker to replace Jovic. What do you think of Foyth (yes, I know, Reece James...)?
Well you’re in luck! It just so happens we’re looking to get rid of a RB and CB. Wan Bissaka and Maguire would look quite good in white I think.
Real Madrid are the club that can most "guarantee" (to the extent that it is even possible) a competitive football project domestically and in Europe, in the medium and long-term, other than maybe Bayern Munich. This is because it is an extremely wealthy club, from the revenue it generates, its corporate structure, its long history (by far the best historical performance in Europe, especially in the last 30 years), the league it is in, etc.
Having the player manager coming in and moaning at players not tracking?
I actually do care abit. If he plays in France I'd probably never watch a full 90 mins game from him, except in some big CL game, or few games in major international tournament every other 2 year.
My point wasn't implying that Real Madrid has nothing to offer, they clearly do but it's not something limited to Madrid. Now we have an idea about what Mbappé cares about and PSG offer it, those things are for a large part linked to Mbappé himself and that's why the question should be asked around Real Madrid, they are the ones that need to convince him that they are worth ignoring some of his goals for goals that aren't unique to Real Madrid.
Nah, we need somebody great in attack. Somebody like James or Alexander Arnold. A playmaker, not a defender
They're champions of Spain and are in a CL final against Liverpool? I'd like for us to have those kinds of disasters too.
The argument Real Madrid offers is, we're fecking Real Madrid. So, do you want to play for the greatest club in the world, the club with 13 CL, the club of Di Stefano, Puskas, Kopa, Gento, Raul, Redondo, Roberto Carlos, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Cristiano, Ramos, Marcelo, Benzema, Bale, Modric, Kroos, etc...and become a legend at the most mythmaking club there is? Or do you want to chase your own myth somewhere else?
Nah, it's a black eye for Florentino, for Madrid, not so much. Granted, this is coming on the heels of this season. If we had a poor season, it would have been different
If he wants to stay at PSG in the short-term and leave at some other time he's handled it in literally the worst way possible. He should have simply renewed after the summer when the transfer to RM didn't materialize.
A player moaning at the actual manager who then has to moan at the other players. Nice.
Funnily enough your list adds questions more than anything. DI Stefano went to Madrid for money and he elevated Real Madrid's image, he paved his own way. Kopa who is one of the greatest player ever, is underrated and often ignored. Bale is really not a selling point and Ronaldo never won the CL. Real Madrid are arguably the greatest club and the most glamorous but if you look beyond that it's appeal can easily be reduced for other considerations.
I don't know what he wants to do and I don't know how it would be the worst way possible.
Allowing it to get this far will make it unlikely that anyone but the most baby-brained of fans will buy the idea that he's staying for anything other than money. It's been a year's worth of stories of PSG throwing increasingly deranged sums of money at him.
might be the way it's going right now.
