No, I am not disputing that it makes sense for Madrid to get Mbappe, I am saying it makes no sense for Madrid to pay upward 200m to get him NOW when they can get him for free next summer. Smaller financial package? Sure Madrid will avoid a hefty signing bonus, but I'd imagine it will be a lot less than 200m. Getting on good terms with PSG and Qatar might be important (I don't know, the two are already having a chilled relationship due to ESL), but it certainly is not worth 200m plus.

I am claiming that it makes ton of sense paying cash now, instead of dealing with Mbappe being free agent with ton of leverage which would definitely go over 100M just in terms of signing bonus let alone other factors such as wages, question of image rights and other bonuses. Hence, even if it goes over 200M, who cares?

PSG gets cash. Mbappe gets his dream club. While Madrid does not go to war with PSG and instead gets a post CR7 / Messi generational player to present at New Bernabeu.

Mbappe should play as CF.
Mbappe can play on the right. He started there in 2018 WC and for Monaco he attacked from the right side. He is a great player on either side, he can coexist with Vini.

The idea that he and Vini are incompatible is non-sense. Not only that he can, but he should play as CF and not as LW. While for RW, i hope Rodrygo makes a final push.

Or another option being 4-4-2, with him and Vini being upfront.

I don't think by getting him from PSG this summer will help Madrid avoid issues such as image rights and other bonuses and his wages etc.

But if it happens, I am happier that at least you guys are shelling out money for him.

He should, but he won't.
That is the thing, he doesn't want to play the position, Mbappe has been known to prefer the LW exclusively for few seasons now.

Seems like somebody just smashed their head on the numpad to come up with those numbers.

In a shocking turn of events we have learned that we'll have another 2 weeks of unbearable tweets on this topic.

And then probably another several months of PSG claiming how they haven't received a satisfactory offer

If Madrid doesn't buy him there is nothing PSG can do. They can't force another club to take him this summer.
He will be rotting in the stands missing out on a season of statpadding against French farmers. Considering how obsessed he is about goals, he will probably sign an extension quite fast. If he does extend, Real Madrid will pay the money so it’s not like he won’t get his move next summer.

Wasn't the rumour that Mbappe and other players call the club Prison St Germain.

A very well paid prison mind you. But they are like a cartel or mafia to get out of.

I don't think PSG will bench him at all, their pride is not as big as their need to get results, especially in Europe. And Mbappe is the only one who can deliver them that.

Isnt statpadding worth less in Ligue 1 next season though? They dropped from top 5
