I'd be more interested in Valverde if we were going to go after any of their players (In addition to being an outstanding midfielder I believe he has also played games for them in RW, similar to what Bruno has done for us?) or the pipe dream that is Vinicius
Kylian Mbappe | Merci.
- Thread starter bosskeano
- Start date
He’s going to pick up a 100m signing bonus with Madrid next summer isn’t he
PSG fuming

I think we'd have more luck trying to buy Bellingham off them this summer than ever getting Valverde. I think he is their second most untouchable player.
I'd say both of them are untouchable for Madrid. With Tchouaméni, he's struggled a bit for them and hasn't exactly been a success for them so far. He's been on the bench in some of their key games. With the Bellingham signing now, I can see him not for sale atm but, if Mbappe is on the market then he becomes a saleable asset.
He's already due 90M from PSG + xM from Madrid on a free. Getting Saudi money without going there
You're both correct in that they're both their two most valuable players but if we're talking hypotheticals then why not aim high
Everyone said Neymar Mbappe and Messi would be unstoppable.
I agree though, those two at City would be defeating.
There was a time it would fly, football has moved on from that and you can't defend without having all 11 working tremendously for it to achieve what Messi, Neymar and Suarez once did or Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo. Your need amazing stamina and work rate now with the talent and you can't mask it anymore that easily.
I don't think anyone expected Mbappe Messi and Neymar to be unstoppable surely? Maybe if Messi and Neymar were younger. Messi, Neymar and Suarez was almost perfection because they were all at their peaks.
My left-field prediction is that if Qatar buy the club this summer, United will go in for Mbappe. PSG will be willing to do a deal, its a question of convincing the player - pitch him the rivalry he could have with Haaland (like the Messi/Ronaldo rivalry of old), and throw cash at him.
Still more likely that he runs down his contract and goes to Madrid on a free, but you never know.

Feck it, throw him into the mix too and add another €10m euro onto the fee.
A bit of a diva is Mbappe!
I'd stay well clear and just keep the EtH train going steady.

The fact that we've given Mount the 7 shirt leads me to believe that the club have absolutely no delusions of a surprise marquee signing on the horizon. If there were any chance at all that Mbappe to United was on the table they would've saved the shirt for him.
Whether it's this summer or next summer he's going to be at Madrid.
We'll be on the managerial merry go round when we're not winning trebles every season after spending half a billion on strikers alone.Rashford
Kane
Mbappe
Sadly agree....unless 9 or 11 become free soon...
How can they stop him? If he wants to leave for free, he will next year
They are so mad that he played them perfectly
Torture?
Interesting that both Mbappe and Kane could be free agents next summer…..
I am not a specialist in French legislation at all, but somehow think it might be forbidden there…)
Ah only 24, he'll be 30 in no time, once his pace goes that's going to it for him.
It's France, of course they should be unstoppable. Europe on the other hand, it was never going to happen.
This is interesting. PSG has ran into the same predicament as Barcelona last year with FdJ. How do you make a big star leave when he has absolutely no intention of doing so?
Glad to see Mount get the #7 if only for the reason that we avoid this absolute clown. Bigger ego than Ronaldo.
I was leaning more on the Qatari side of things but if we're going French, then how about they threaten to stick him into a knockoff tracksuit and throw him into a riot?
Never understand why people say this or what they have against him
Some people just hate successful people
This would be absolutely brilliant.
Cause of all the circus which comes with him. Saying that if opportunity arises, which it wont, we should buy him.Never understand why people say this or what they have against him

I think he will stay at Paris or move to City.
Kyks only want money. He's checking his option with Paris right now and Madrid.
It's basic, if Madrid gives him the same wages he currently has in Paris, he will leave, otherwise he will renegotiate again with PSG.
He's around 35M euros per year with a 40M bonus each season.
Benzema was at 13M at Madrid and I don't see Madrid going much more than that. Maybe with a huge signing fee covering for his 75M per year.
Otherwise who can be as rich as PSG, and potentially stronger , City only...

I don’t hate successful people, I don’t hate anyone tbh. And success is subjective. Wealth and ego don’t make a person successful in my eyes. I don’t like his arrogance or the way he goes about things. He seemingly has very little respect for the people that pay his wages. He would completely destroy the balance of the squad in terms of wage structure and player power and he’s best in the position and pockets of space that rashford plays in. It may be naive, but I want players that play for the badge, not for themselves.Never understand why people say this or what they have against him

So he has little respect for his employers because he wants to see out his contract? They are trying to force him to change the agreed deals of the contract. It's not his fault they offered so much. Nobody should judge a player because of what they are earning. And the best players will always earn too much.
I don't see some crazy arrogance. I see a great player who wanted to stay in his home league to develop the league much longer than anyone else would have stayed, even if it hurt his own personal aspirations. Of course on the flip side he should be compensated for it by people who absolutely have the money for it. That's not arrogance or lack of respect. That's him wanting to make the french league stronger. PSG needs to learn that if you offer a contract, you should be prepared for players seeing out that contract if that's what they want to do. You can't force somebody out, you can't force somebody to extend.
There is no logic to it. If he extends they will criticize him for choosing money, if he asks for a transfer they will critiize him for not respecting his contract and pushing for a move and if he doesn't extend and doesn't ask for a transfer he is apparently a clown or a diva.
Keep in mind that Mbappé simply didn't trigger an extension clause and when asked said that he intends to respect his contract. People want to be critical for no good reason.
If he leaves on a free France will riot (again)
Im not sure what we would have to lose to submit a cheeky one year loan with an obligation to buy for 70-80m next year. Qataris will surely rather do that than lose him for nothing next summer? Obviously then his wages would be a huge stumbling block, but one that could be negotiated with a possible outcome? Even if we manage to get Hojland it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.
I think that it's unlikely that Real Madrid sell Tchouameni because's he's the only "DM". Selling him requires signing a replacement, so there's not much to gain.
I understand what you’re saying, the club are at fault too and they’ve created this in many ways. He has every right to see out his contract. But look at the difference in the decorum of Kane for example. He doesn’t need to run to the media , he’s shown nothing but respect to his club and their fans.
Arrogance can be defined as a sense of one's own importance that shows itself in a proud and insulting way. When part of your contract includes influence over club decisions around managers and players, I think it’s more than fair to call it arrogance. He’s not stayed for any reason other than money, you know that as well as I do.
I’m not against people in the entertainment industries earning loads of money, they’ve earned that right. But when it destroys the balance of competitiveness and distorts the game, I think it’s fair to argue against it. I guess that’s more the responsibility of the law makers and jurisdictions that control the sport though.
I wouldn’t want him at our club because it finally feels like we’re developing a team that’s a cohesive unit working for each other, rather than a group of individual talents that are more concerned about self preservation and individual legacy I also happen to like rashford as a player and a man, and I don’t think there’s room for both at the club because of the similarities in their playing position and style
You do realize that this is not the case? You are basically judging someone based on a silly rumour that has in practice proved to be BS since PSG did the opposite of what Mbappé was rumoured to want.
Giving Mount #7 seems to have killed that idea off.
The only difference in Kane and Mbappe is Mbappe announced he isn't extending, and his owner is an idiot who loves attention. Kane didn't say anything, while his club owner refuses to let him leave.
He stayed because of developing the french league and wanting to win the CL with PSG. He'd get a massive contract and bonus anywhere.
I love Rashford. If we have the chance to actually get Mbappe (we don't), we'd be dumb not to get him. They can play together. Mbappe is the best player in the world for me, and actually I've seen nothing but a professional player who is focused on being the best player he can be while also trying to develop the french league, putting that above his own career aspirations of winning the ballon D'Or or the CL. Have nothing but respect for that.
As the Madrid fan, you'll know better but wouldn't Camavinga be the 'DM?' I had heard rumours of you wanting Davies from Bayern, meaning Camavinga would no longer be at left back.
If Mbappe is available this window, surely you guys (Madrid) will go for him? Would you be able to sign him without any sales?
(I do agree though, it's unlikely you sell him. Also, can't see the player willing to leave after just one season. It takes a season to settle in a new league. He wouldn't give up his Madrid adventure without a fight. May be if he 'struggles' or doesn't fire next season, then may be there's a better chance of him leaving next summer).
