We might be able to afford his transfer fee but not his salary demand...
Depends on how much he'll cost.
70m + 50m in Balon D Or clauses sounds way more reasonable than 150m.
As for spending money on inexperienced talents, no matter how talented they are, and Dembele and Mbappe are really super talented, it's a risk obviously.
But which experienced player can you sign and wholeheartedly say fit the team?
Griezmann? Not coming. Hazard? Not coming either? Dybala? Also not coming.
Kind of a shitty situation, but not much we can do.
If his wage demands are fair and he can come for something like what I posted(70m + 50m in BDOR bonuses), then I think I'd do it. Even if he doesn't live up to expectations, we will be able to sell him at a fairly high price, not too far from what we signed him for.
Far better than signing Paulinho or Arda for 40m when they're approaching 30 and declining.
The market is bonkers. That's the problem.
Are we actually signing Paulinho? If so why the fuck are we doing that?
LEquipeTV just had a debate about MBappe:I noticed City on that list of being interested in Mbappe. yeah everyone would want him but Pep and City already have enough talented Forwards/wingers as it is.
