Kylian Mbappé

Seeing Madrid getting shafted and its fans crying foul about PSG being state backed is wonderful, just wonderful.

Again, this is what i expected all along, saying you cant negotiate with a state-run entity isnt crying.

Not spending 200 Mill on a player with a year left is fine by me, we need that money next summer.

Not sympathizing for Madrid whatsoever, but not sure how they are the ones that come out looking like idiots at the end of this. PSG furthers its reputation of being stubborn, foolish and giving 0 fucks about financial prudence because Qatar. If Madrid truly offered 200 or even 150 million for a player they can sign on a pre contract for free in 4 months, not sure which of the two clubs is more retarded.

You're treating PSG like you would any other club who'd be idiots to turn that kind of money down as opposed to an oil club who can just write blank cheques. FFP is relaxed. There's no logical reason for them to take it so priority has to be keep an excellent forward and give yourself best chance to win CL

RM OTOH know this and kept offering because they're desperate and taking no chances he'll change his mind. Was pure PR campaign and tic-tac nonsense from Pedrerol makes club look like clowns who simply got ignored by their competitor.

 

[clemente]

Who the fuck refuses 45m/year, he could get carreer ending injury any moment and his next offer to be 0/year

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

PSG turning down 200mil might scare some young players.

If you sign with them, only way out is running down the contract and even then they will bench you and don't give a **** about you. This can't be all positive for PSG.

Golden cage.

they didn't look like idiots. just came out empty handed when they were so sure of getting their man. what's with all the simping over madrid in here?

real drops 250M in transfers in 2009/10 and they are seen as geniuses. they drop +150M in multiple transfer windows and 100M for hazard(350M in that window overall).

now they get snubbed when they try to splash another 200M on a player with a contract that expires in 1 year.

and suddenly PSG are the bad guys because they are state backed and not playing by the rules. even though madrid has been helped by the spanish state througought their history.

Probably us, PSG doesnt really need money anyway, while we come off as desperate making near world-record bids for someone with a year left.
Besides, this gives PSG a much better chance of winning CL this season, while they try to convince Mbappe to stay.

Thought Perez knew the owners of PSG better than to try a bidding war though, guess he is just used to getting his way most of the time.

Madrid played a blinder imo. They probably knew PSG were never going to sell. So what do they do? They show Mbappe how serious they are about wanting him there. Covid era transfers and they’re offering 180m+.

That is the only upside.

But if you're doing that and you know you're just messing with them + communicating higher offers each day, at least bloody buy some other players instead of making it look like you're only going after him alone and he's the fix to all world's problems. It's dumb and naive.

 

[Andresito]

Will be weird in the future when looking back. How tf did Mbappe, the biggest name in current football, move FOR FREE?

Guess it'd have been different if he'd play in another league. Renew for 1 more year and add a low release clause of like 60m to give PSG at least something.

Would've hoped Madrid would lose 200m instead of like 30-40m or whatever they'll pay Mbappe in signing bonus.

 

[xxxxxx]

They should have sold him for 200m, but you can see why they didn't this late in the window. If Real would have offered it a week or 2 ago, I'm pretty sure they would have sold him and gone for Ronaldo or Haaland.

Depends on who's available and who's worth going after. Camavinga signed adds the midfielder you probably needed. Forward options for you are difficult to improve on without a very large investment in a player you probably don't need or want. Could have invested more in defence though.

Either way, you've got a better squad in la liga than everyone bar Atletico, financially probably very secure with a few sales this window. Perez may be a bellend but looks like he's running things well.

 

[El Gato]

Bernardo is available and our best RW is a guy who'll be gone next summer. Mbappe isn't even a RW either. Camavinga only bought reluctantly once given up. 20 year old keeper rotting on the bench instead of us signing a vet of any kind.

Why waste so much time doing one thing when you could have done 3 or 4?

 

[Jair Ventura]

Lol PSG are the bad guys for not being bullied by Madrid? Fuck them.

If they’re so confident Madrid is “his dream”, why bid €220m for a player you can land on a free in 4 months? Make this make sense?

 

[Jair Ventura]

Its as i expected, he will come for free or renew, PSG was never going to consider offers for him.

They viewed our 180 million bid as an insult, says it all, its basically impossible to negotiate with a state-run entity.

In before Nasser makes Perez bend the knee & kiss the ring
