It's silly - and it's not like it's given PSG anything other than the league and some marketing. It was an ego thing and it continues to be. Clearly PSG dislike Real Madrid a lot I think they feel like they are being mugged off by them losing their prize asset for free. Actually, worse than free. They’ll effectively pay Real’s transfer fee themselves directly into the players bank account. It’s the stupidest deal in history losing a player for minus €140m. I wonder if PSG would be so upset if Mbappe had pre-agreed to join City, Chelsea or Man United? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Has any top player ever been offered an incentive to leave on a free transfer before? I assume the person who agreed it got sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 It's going to be difficult to prove that he's pre-arranged to sign for Real Madrid at the end of his contract next year, but if he has then surely that warrants investigating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How close did Mbappe get to finishing his last contract? If less than 6 months he could have agreed it in that window before signing a new deal with PSG. ”I’m going to re-sign with PSG for 2 years but will join you for free in 2024 on those terms we agreed”.

Genie Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) I have a feeling Real Madrid will bid for him this summer, PSG will accept and negotiate a “loyalty” bonus with Mbappe to get him gone. Eg, Real Madrid bid €130m, PSG split it with Mbappe and they all feel like they got something out of the shitty situation.

I don't think that would be legal. Surely he has to end up at Real Madrid this season, or some dodgy shenanigans take place where he spends a year in Saudi and then goes to Madrid. Although even spending a year there is a waste, he's a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 While you can't tar all with the same brush I think this sort of deal is representative of the petrostates financial acumen and when the oil & gas starts running out/stops being used and they've spunked all their money on sports, space travel and that shitty NEOM they're going to be absolutely fked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 If PSG continue to freeze him out for the crime of wanting to see out his contract then I’d expect his representatives to consider legal action. They’re damaging him, his brand and his earnings (he wouldn’t be getting appearance, goal, win bonuses etc) just because he refused to leave, which is because they offered him a massive incentive to stay till the end.

Interesting situation. I'd have assumed the club can do whatever they want with him and it'd be completely legal... unless they have specifics stated in the contract. Not going to leave son? Here's a stint in the U18's. (Edit: Also, he's damaging himself - the petulant little dickhead). Edited July 25, 2023 by bobzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when money is just thrown around for ego and political.purposes. Didnt the French Prime Minister exert pressure on him to stay as well ? the Sport becomes secondary here. I hope there is a situation where PSG and Mbappe can both lose. This might be the straw that breaks the camels back ( sorry!) They could win the Champions League with Paris born players in a few years . Edited July 25, 2023 by MWARLEY2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems petty I agree, especially given how much they pay him but the complaint was (I think) he felt duped into doing promotional work for them without being told what it was for.
