It’s turned into a pride thing for the ultra rich. They’ll pay whatever it takes not to “lose” Mbappe. Nothing to do with value for money, they just can’t bare to be seen to lose something they want to a rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are starving, the earth is burning and the ultra rich are measuring dicks in a sporting activity. Sometimes I just lose faith in humanity man XD.

PieFacE Posted July 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2023 Don't really get the angle PSG are going for here. Dude has a contract, and has supposedly agreed terms with Madrid on a free next year. Surely Madrid will just wait until his contract has expired?

I don't think you're supposed to talk to other teams more than 6 months ahead of the end of the contract so I can see why they'd be pissed off if he has.

You can talk to anyone you like whenever you want. But you can't agree anything official. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His current contract with PSG has a HUGE loyalty bonus if he stays till the end. PSG have made this mess for themselves and only have themselves to blame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has clearly been speaking to Real Madrid for years behind PSG back and this "saga" has come up the last 2 or 3 summers. He also wanted out in January and then threw a tantrum when they used his image on season ticket ads for next season.

The club are now punishing him because he plans to honour his contract. It’s ridiculous and if UEFA had any balls they’d be sanctioning PSG for this behaviour.

jacketspuds Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 PSG have been stupid enough to give Mbappe so much control at the club, they now have to reap what they sow. Don’t be surprised to see Newcastle suddenly “find” the money to make a bid for Mbappe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s his intention and sounds like he’s willing to sacrifice a season on the bench or playing with the youth teams. Football clubs have happily made mercenaries out of players over the years so have no sympathy towards PSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s the plan. If PSG can negotiate a big fee for him this summer they’ll end up giving most of it to him to get him to agree to go.
