Yeah, that is funniest rumour. Media also pushing that story. I mean...Liverpool?? They have limit on wages and not to mention that small thing about 200milNothing, he wouldn't be the first player to do that(Coman, Rabiot and Ibrahimovic among others) and unlike some of them Mbappé has a lot more clout in France so they can't treat him poorly.

Maybe Sir Alex gave him a spanking for handing City a Champions League Final.
I don’t think he’s really involved in business like that for the club. I imagine it’s just the fact they were in Manchester and he’s such a prestigious figure they wanted to meet him so organised a bit of hospitality for him.
Maybe he wants to manage PSG next season
Teams never have to pay sign on fee but players will generally want them and it can be the difference between signing the player or seeing him pick someone else.
Apparently they're friends and both into horsey related business.
He's not going on bosman. Far too big for bosman.
They don't need the money, cashing in at any point doesn't really matter when you can dope your accounts with a 200mil cheese board sponsor and UEFA smile and nod back.
Exactly - he can sign a pre contract with somebody in 9 months ... as you say probably a huge signing on bonus with it as well - call it 45m (the middle of your figures) - hes basically earning a million a week by not signing a new contract with PSG (on top of his already big and no douby about to get bigger wages)
That's very far-fetched. There's no way Poch wouldn't play Mbappe in a CL semi final just because he hasn't signed a new contract. And PSG's owners want that trophy, so they wouldn't shoot themselves in the foot like that.
Completely agree Poch wouldn’t willingly not pick him for such a big game. But if I was Mbappe and I knew PSG were stopping me from signing for Utd I would just say I’m not playing then - I think the refusal to play is being driven by him rather than Poch.
You think Mbappe would refuse to play in a semifinal because PSG won't let him go to United? I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. What player would sabotage their own achievements like that?
Mbappé injured himself during the first game against City. There is nothing else to say about it.
If no one is offering enough for PSG to let him go this summer, and he does not sign a new contract, he will go as a free agent. Would not be the first time that this happened, it for example was the same with Lewandowski to Bayern - BVB did not accept offers, so they had to let him go on a free when his contract ended.
What comes after will forever changed football.
I doubt clubs these days would be willing to pay 1m per week for a player, unless there’s huge commercial revenue they could generate from the player. 1m per week wage is over 50m spending a year, 4 years contract would cost 200m. Plus other players may ask for bigger pay rise too. And it all adds up to heavy debts most clubs are suffering too in COVID market. Also, there almost no resell value if the players doesn’t turn out as good as expected in future (ie Bale), due to very high wage.
