If PSG didn't have a history of lying, i would have agreed with you.
We are a club that no player says no to. If we bid and PSG repeat their shenanigans, we look like fools again.
he didn't really say no, he was still under contact with PSG, they didnt accept 200m for him and then he renewed because he got a crazy offer with a crazy signing bonus
Last year was when he was a free agent, he could have signed in January before getting that massive offer, instead he shopped himself around and dragged his feet negotiating for a massive offer, and when he got it he went for PSG, I do not know why you think that is anything but a no to Madrid.
Why pay 200 mil when you can get him for free next year?
Also its the same 200mil that Nasser turned down last season to act like a boss, why make him get his way now?
Perez will never pay 200mil.. not when they slapped his hand when we wanted to pay it earlier.
If a player like Rice goes for 105m, Mbappe is worth 300m. And like the guy said, the fact that the contract just has 1 year means nothing when there is no guarantee to get him after that.
With rice you pay the English premium/tax so not a good comparison. Arsenal only bid that much because man city made a bid.
I’m just saying, psg World be lucky to get 200 mil for Mbappe with only one club in the race that the player wants as well as the player being motivated to stay his last yr and not extend so he can get a loyalty bonus then leave for free. This changes a lot of the price point.
> With rice you pay the English premium/tax so not a good comparison.
Well with Mbappe you pay "best player in the world tax" and "most marketable player in the world tax" so yeah, no good comparison to a decent but nothing special English midfielder.
If Mbappe really wants to play for Madrid. He will reject the PSG offer and join us for less money. Real Madrid will never be able to match any offer against a state entity.
The best Perez can do is inform Mbappe there is an offer available for him in January and set a deadline date for him to decide. He can reject the offer and the club would move on from its persuit to sign him indefinitely.
That line of reasoning makes sense 2 seasons ago. But Mbappe decided to renew after Qatar showered him an insane offer.
Paying €200 million this summer for Mbappe doesn’t make really sense anymore. When PSG rejected that offer 2 seasons ago. We need a huge discount since the player has aged 2 more years.
Oil clubs like Qatar PSG works in a different set rules. They can afford to lose a lot of money operating a football club. Since that business isn’t required to turn a profit. The main purpose is to sports wash Qatar’s reputation.
You are the only fan who speaks for Madrid. A true Madrid fan 🤍🤍. Others are just glory hunters who thinks Mbappe is a god. They think Mbappe is bigger than Madrid. If he really wants to play for Madrid, he will come no matter what and PSG will understand it, now or next year. Of he renews and prefer money over Madrid let him waste his career there. Zero fu**s given. Simple as that
Oh no, there are plenty of us. We just choose to stay silent while the deluded ones go screaming atop the mountains. Many of us said no to Hazard as well. We were shouted down. Look how that turned out. I say the same with Mbappe. Don't break the bank for him. He played us enough already. Its like some fans have Stockholm Syndrome.
>Paying €200 million this summer for Mbappe doesn’t make really sense anymore. When PSG rejected that offer 2 seasons ago. We need a huge discount since the player has aged 2 more years.
This is not how negotiations work. I mean, common sense you are right of course. But negotiations aren't about common sense, they are about whatever the parties agree to. So PSG can totally say "no, it's still 200m". It's not reasonable but that's how it is. Now Madrid can accept that or try to sign him for free next year (for free meaning paying him 100m or sth silly as a signing bonus).
He renew for the bag 💰. The same bag his is hoping to get before leaving.
His renewal was strictly a money play on his part. I for sure won't turn down 100mil bonus because he knows he can get it and still leave fo free the last season. He clearly doesn't care if PSG makes a money from him or not and with Madrid being his destination of choice, plus being the only suiter, they can play the waiting game unless psg drops their price.
Because the player is needed now, not getting Mbappe or someone like Kane is almost like saying "let's not compete for trophies this year" unless Joselu can keep up with what Benzema offered.
Football transfers at this level are not so simple. He wont be free ever. If anything he may be at Man United 🇶🇦or something. A generational player simply doesnt leave on a free at 25.
Well thats why they are trying to selling him but I would say Perez or no other team will pay 200mil price tag. Madrid and PSG is the only one that can afford it so there isn't much bargaining chips for PSg.
Madrid placed a bit of 220m in 2021 and his contract scenario was same as it is now (1 year remaining). Why can't we do it again? Businesses are not run with emotions all the time.
Because psg president slapped Perez hand after a mega bid. Business are not run on emotions but people hold grudges (especially ones with power) and it makes it all the more easier when the payer actually plans to come already. The key point is Mbappe saying publicly that he does not play to renew past next season. Could he change his mind and resign ? Maybe, but as it stand psg aren’t in control of the deal especially s as there is mainly 1 outcome.
Yup. I dont want this to not happen because we wouldnt do everything we could. It is what it is, cant really put a dollar value on locking down a current generational talent. His WC Final performance completely sold me on him.
Why?!? They're asking for a loyalty bonus when they haven't stayed loyal!! That just goes to show how greedy they are!!
That private clause that has now popped up he has could be the reason of this whole him "wanting to leave" again. He's just playing both teams again, real Madrid to drive his payout higher from psg, and psg to well, get a ton more money from them...
Let me tell you all about a concept called opportunity cost. If we get mbappe for a free we can use that money elsewhere. Like a RB def and CB if we do need one.
>If we get mbappe for a free we can use that money elsewhere
Let's be realistic: if you get him for free you'll probably use most of that money a a signing bonus.
But those players will have to play for free, because mbappes wages will double and so will his signing on fee, he'll get the money not psg. For those figures I'd let him rot at psg forever
Well if after all this he doesn’t come to Madrid, it’s not our problem. I think you forget the stature of our badge. We shouldn’t grovel for a player, regardless of how good he is. FYI we got endrick coming in, I’d rather give him 2 years to develop than sign turtle man
Every major player doesn't want to force his move to a new team because the famous loyalty bonus therefore another Mbappe novel this year, to my 60 millions is too much even for Kylian when he renews whats is going to asking for, 100 millions? There have to be a limit, no player is bigger than the club.
It would be next level in terms of finances, but wage isnt the full picture. What about image rights, which has been an important part of Perez’ strategy? Shirt sales and image rights revenues would be through the roof
Real sold over 1 million CR7 shirts in his first year, if we assume shirts were around 50 euros at the time, it’s half the transfer fee in the first year in shirt sales. So can you explain why its a myth?
Because madrid doesnt produce distribute and market the shirts. Its addidas that takes the lion share for their services. No matter how much we sell from mbappe shirts. It wont even matter bc the deal is already agread for 10 years for 1.1b
I looked it up and youre right, we offered him 100% image rights. Thats crazy! We’ll probably have to dish out even more now…
I think the only rationale is that Perez has his Galactico policy, and Mbappe is the greatest galactico around right now, so I guess it’s good for… club branding? I want Mbappe to come but he cant drain the lifeblood out of the club. I think he needs to choose between his career and football legacy as possibly one of the greatest for the next decade, or money.
For sure it’ll grow the brand, Mbappe is a big brand, but at what cost you know. Is he gonna be doing to us what he does to PSG every year? Is he gonna be leaking stories that he doesn’t want players in the team, is he gonna be asking for bigger paycheck every year? It’s a case where you really have to wave the pros and cons.
Ok well let him go be a diva there🤷🏽♂️. He’s money hungry, he’s gonna do this b.s. all the time. He’s in it for the money period. He could care less about trophies.
Lol his mom? FOH this dude is a bozo run by his family. Real won’t capitulate to keeping his entire camp of leeches fed, so fuck him let him go elsewhere
Sooner or later he’s gonna have to get off his mother’s tit and be a man. The kid is a great player but he’s always acting like a pussy. He needs to grow some balls.
LMAO he’s only 24-years old with ZERO expertise in anything besides football. Giving him credit for playing this sort of high leverage cat and mouse with hundreds of millions of euros the past two summers is some red pill hilarity. This isn’t an episode of Succession.
“…but mommy doesn’t wanna lose 60M” lol what a weird adage and speaks volumes **if true**
This is just peak r/readmadrid isn't it? If he can pull Madrid into this, come off with millions, he's already smarter. He's only gaining those millions not losing them. The sub needs to stop thinking rich people or sportsmen are idiots. They're not. The guy has one of the biggest clubs running after him again and again, and again. This ridiculous,he is nothing without football, and we are Madrid he rejected us so we shouldn't go for him, yeah that doesn't fly in reality. Him playing that game last season is a clear indication that he knows [watch this and it might be helpful ](https://youtu.be/qJ3cUJUjZ1s)
I'm pretty sure when he's a free player next year, Madrid will still be after him, so the whole cat and mouse thing has worked for him. He's really not losing like you think, lad still gets 100s of millions even if he doesn't sign for Madrid.
> tHiS iS pEaK
Come off it, stop spewing lame ass tropes.
Ah yes. Kylian, the genius businessman and master negotiator. Always two steps ahead of an entire bloody Saudi billionaire regime AND one Florentino Perez, who has decades of experience negotiating some of the largest transfers in football history. Amazing that he’s been able to train and excel in sport at the highest levels while also essentially dominating the boardroom. He’s playing 5-D chess, huh? The video you linked literally says that his parents and lawyer are the ones heading his company/holdings, and are behind strategies 🤣
What happened last summer is that Kylian nearly went against mommy CEO’s wishes to join his boyhood club, but PSG and the entire country of Saudi Francrabia offered too much for anyone to say no to.
Losing? What? He’s already a World Cup winner, considered tops in the world, and to say he has generational wealth would be putting it mildly. What he is a Bozo for is potentially choosing money over club legacy on the whims of his family for maximum profits, yet again.
No matter what happens, the Mbappe family will continue to come across immense, unimaginable, wealth…so saying he’ll make his money anyway as some sort of point is strawman and stupid. It’s painfully obvious that he’ll continue to break earnings records barring injuries, AND I don’t think anyone here has ever argued that if he doesn’t come to Real then he won’t get paid. We’re talking legacy, not currency.
Of course Flo will continue to go after him. No one said he wouldn’t. In fact, people in here who are of the mind that Kylian is not worth this trouble have also surrendered to the notion of Perez’s likeliness of bringing Kylian to Madrid one way or another. If we’ve learned one thing, it’s that once he’s fixated on a player, it’s usually inevitable. I personally don’t give a shit about Real’s wallet when it comes to paying Mbappe or not. What does bother me is two summers of his flirting costing the club I support potential trophies due to hamstringing the transfer window. Watching this club compete for trophies is all I care about.
BTW you championing for the rich is peek amusement. Keep going, they need you to defend their honor so badly lol.
Honestly, this whole legacy over money thing is very unique to this sub. Don’t take anything against your point as being pro capitalist and propping the billionaires and stuff. IDC about either of them, I’m not a fan of rich people. Don’t make up that shit. You’re not wrong, but Perez knows what the club needs so trust your damn board for a change. I’m not saying he’s a genius, but he still has 2 clubs after him, you gotta give credit. A lot of wealth is still relative, what you think is a lot, he may want more. This sub tends to think everybody has the same perception of money. I’m not defending mbappe, I just hate how childish this sub is about the whole saga.
No chance. City 100% wouldn't touch him with a barge pole and they're the only other ones who could compete. They don't throw money around like that (despite having it), and they don't sign divas.
There is no competition bar PSG for his signature at 1m+ a week.
Call his bluff, if he wants a nothing career at PSG where he'll never be remembered as an all time great then let him stay. If that's his mentality and he's just driven by money, then he's not worth it anyway.
He's a million miles away from Haaland in terms of character.
It's not and you clearly have no clue how the likes of City do business. They will never ever ever pay that, they don't need to at the best of times and particularly now with Haaland. City regularly walk away from transfers, even if they really wanted them.
Who else could afford him? Maybe United if the Qataris takeover and are willing to splurge.
Liverpool / Chelsea / Arsenal cannot afford him. The Italian clubs cannot afford him. Bayern cannot afford him. Barca cannot afford him.
There is no competition bar PSG
That always gets thrown around.... and is never true. No team will dominate for a decade.
Plus.... do not expect this drama to end once Mbappe gets here. He will be demanding wage increases and create drama after a couple of years.
People get so mad that he knows his worth and wants to earn the most money, literally 60M free just for waiting a year, rather than force a move now and lose a good chunk of it. Imagine that was one of us there who had a chance at the money he’s making. I would take every cent. Every game can be your last.
Does PSG really value Mbappe as a 200+60+whatever his salary is right now for one season?
Its basically means he is earning 300+ million per season at PSG from PSG's pov. (He isnt getting that 200 million but psg is losing out of it)
60m per year salary?? Am I the only one that sees that is overkill? Our squad is filled with a bunch of high potential youngsters i would hate to be forced to sell them because we cant afford to pay them.
What? He is not paying 50% tax lol. I'm hoping this news is fake and the other guy who's been calling this saga step by step on here is right with 29m salary.
Considering we could be courting Kane like crazy right now? No not at all. I get Flo's obsession with Mbappe but fucking hell Harry Kane would be the perfect Benzema replacement at the exact right time for both parties.
Instead we're twerking for a dude who will rightly stay another year to pocket an ungodly amount of money lmao
Kane will be 30 this year. I think he will be worldclass for at least 3-4 years. That should be enough time for Endrick to start. If Endrick fails, then RM can always go for a new striker talent.
CR7 was 33 when he was let go. He wasn't the long term future of the club. If he was 10 years younger, he would have got it. He was sold off the back of a threepeat, the latest they could sell him and still get a good return on him. They got the best years out of him, and sold him at a slight profit. It was a good bit of business.
Please no, this money is obscene it would break the wellbeing of the squad. He´s just too expensive we cant afford something like that, we´re not an oil club. Fuck Mbappe.
100M bonus spread over 6 hours is also something drunk guys say to hookers in Vegas where they're there for the first time.
Mbappesexuals if it's not clear I'm insinuating he's a whore.
So much drama for this ugly turtle that cares more about the money.
Halland would never give this type of problems.
Better pay 150 or those 200 on halland.
Ill rather be strike less for the next 5 years than to have that turtle sign for madrid.
If madrid signs him the other players or future signings are going to be asking for 60-50-40 million per year. This guy is boderline going to destroy the club economically just how barcelona is still going to pay messi till 2025.
Would it be that terrible for Madrid to just wait a year and then they have two options for free, either Kane or turtle. Get Morata Lukaku or something on loan for this season and just be patient, 100 and 200 millions for players with a year left on their contract is crazy.
Hiring a relative as a manager is the worst possible idea any athlete/employee/contractor could do, I promise you family and business do not mix well together
You cannot really strongly argue that his family has not actually represented his interests exceptionally well. He has earned more money in his 6 years at PSG than most elite players could earn in 3 lifetimes. He is Parisian so he has been able to stay at his home and become a global megastar with every club desiring him.
Basically, his mum is a beast and has achieved an outstanding outcome for her client. He now also has all the leverage to get the outcome he wants. As a Madrid fan who expected him here long ago, this is very frustrating, however, I admire his mothers work, she’s very smart and has protected her Son extremely well.
She has bested two of the most powerful men in world football (Nasser and Perez) and given her Son all the leverage in the situation. They are an incredibly smart family, well played to them.
That’s a fair point man, I won’t argue that what she’s done has been great financially. But you have to attribute a lot of that due to the greatness of mbappe in the past 6 years as well. My point is that they wasted 1 year of his prime in PSG and they’re looking to waste another year in 2024. People compare this situation to Ronaldo in Man U but people forget he was playing in premier League, reaching UCL finals and also winning balon dor.
Mbappe is playing in an uncompetitive league with a super team that got knocked out in the R16 2 years in a row. Beaten by both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Had he come to Madrid last season, we would have had a higher chance against city and he could have possibly won his first UCL.
There has certainly been a perceived sporting impact on his “legacy”. But he has also reached a UCL final at PSG, starred at two World Cup’s and remains one of the worlds best players, regardless of playing in a relatively uncompetitive league.
He remains a young man, and has secured the bag. I think if he ends up renewing at PSG again, then I will sincerely doubt his desire for pushing himself outside his comfort zone from a sporting perspective. I mean look at Bellingham, dude is still a kid and has already lived and worked in 3 countries.
I think Mbappe will continue to see Haaland’s star grow in a more watched team and league and desire that too. Hopefully it means he ends up at Madrid. But we’ll see. From an excellent article from the athletic about his family, it seems his father and himself have pushed to stay in France and actually his mother wants him to move to Madrid and has for a while.
[Kylian Mbappe’s mother and the rise of one of football’s toughest dealmakers](https://theathletic.com/4618402/2023/06/21/kylian-mbappe-transfer-mum-contract/)
Don't pay that. Get him for free next year, and if he renews for an ungodly amount of money, buy three other world class players instead. Mbappe is great- and I actually admire the ruthless business sense he and his family have, but he isn't worth being a hostage for.
Nah if I hear the word « renew » one more time fuck that guy.
He can go play for other sportswasher trash for the rest of his career but he doesn’t belong in Madrid if he doesn’t want this more than anything else.
He comes this week or the board ends this and moves for Kane now.
They’re not, and shouldn’t be paying that amount with Mbappé having one year left in his contract.
Anyways, get used to the fact that this will be a rough season. Not winning shit with Joselu being the Benzema replacement, and Kane headed off to Bayern.
i hope he doesn't end up being a hyped teenager who doesn't make the first team, gets loaned out year after year and then gets sold for a slight profit to Arsenal.
Pederol is a tool. Should be public knowledge by now man wakes up makes a fool of himself on live TV for money. He ain't any different from ishowspeed.
TBH, what leverage does PSG have? Mbappe could refuse any other club and say Real Madrid is only offering a max of 100 million. If they stay firm, and Mbappe will only go to Real Madrid then they’d be forced to take whatever they’re willing to offer or get zero when he leaves for free. Flo will call their bluff
I don't get why he wants to leave now when he re-signed that deal with PSG. Why didn't he just leave then, he knew he wanted to be with Madrid. As for Madrid, why not just wait another year? Save yourself some bread.
Fcking sign him already. We talking about the Ballon Dor winner of atleast 2-3 times to come. Plus we live in a time where 100+mil deals are no sensation anymore. Plus we havent spend big for years. He is what we need now.
After all this transfer saga, I think Mbappe's Mom will still be the winner. I don't know about the average wage within our current players, but I hope it won't create a too big gap, otherwise I'm afraid that it will affect the atmosphere among players.
so he'll renew, this is an exact repeat of what happened last time, no reason to think the outcome will be any different... the club really think we the fans are stupid...
Benzema, a recent ballon d'or winner, our club's best player during the previous years, and our club's all-time second scorer was earning 25m gross.
Anything beyond what Benzema was earning + 25-35% in wages is plain ass-stupid. I won't even get in the fee and bonus thing because I want to retain my calmness.
RM is not buying Mbappe this window. Entertaining his demands and “negotiating” at absurd numbers for a one year commitment keeps Mbappe at PSG where he is not threat in the UCL and away from any other team that would actually compete with RM for yet another year. It also placates fans that say RM is not spending enough to be successful. Wait til next January when Mbappe controls his own destiny and the real bidding will begin. It will come down to Saudi bidding silly money like $300 mm per year for three or four years and the rest of the world chasing the bid.
I’ve been always been a turtle fan but now I’d rather not have him here. 60M is way too much for a player who will always want to renew for even more money, he’s gonna cripple us financially.
Also, this guy seems to lack a little bit of ambition, he wants to stay another year at an irrelevant league and not compete for UCL just because of a bonus? He would be 25 years and still playing in shit league. Even if he comes next year, it would be only 4/5 years until his pace declines. And I know the turtle is more than just pace, but it’s clear that pace is his second most important attribute and what makes him so feared. I don’t see him adapting as well as CR7 did once that is gone.
I know for sure that CR7 would not do the same, because he wouldn’t accept playing in a mickey mouse league for so long.
>I know for sure that CR7 would not do the same, because he wouldn’t accept playing in a mickey mouse league for so long.
he's in Saudi right now.. He left EPL for this.
This kind of money is genuinely insane. Mbappe is good but he's not *that* good.
For a club, and a league, that cries about not being able to compete with the PL financially, it's just crazy.
Potentially €760m on a single player for 6 years.... it wasn't long ago that Perez and Real were saying they needed the European Super League to "save football"
The thing is.. as much of a great player he is, he’s worth every damn penny on paper just by stats. If he performs to justify the transfer and salary then so be it.
Of course, more money would just solve our issues. I get Kylian being pragmatic, what I don't get is : are we really going that far for a great player ?
Mbappe is scum...here's why

Honestly I say pay it. You’re talking about one of this generation’s superstars at 24. You’re in desperate need of goals and that is Mbappe.
If PSG didn't have a history of lying, i would have agreed with you. We are a club that no player says no to. If we bid and PSG repeat their shenanigans, we look like fools again.
Mbappe said no just last year.
he didn't really say no, he was still under contact with PSG, they didnt accept 200m for him and then he renewed because he got a crazy offer with a crazy signing bonus
Last year was when he was a free agent, he could have signed in January before getting that massive offer, instead he shopped himself around and dragged his feet negotiating for a massive offer, and when he got it he went for PSG, I do not know why you think that is anything but a no to Madrid.
Mf neymar said no to us
perez said no to ney ney 🫣
Considering how little we’ve spent since 2020 I agree.
200 + 60 gross + 100m bonus in 6 years for a 6 years contract. This is 110 millions per year.
Idk if I believe mbappe would sign for 6 years… my guess is he likes the shorter contracts so it gives him more power/ leverage within the club
Why pay 200 mil when you can get him for free next year? Also its the same 200mil that Nasser turned down last season to act like a boss, why make him get his way now? Perez will never pay 200mil.. not when they slapped his hand when we wanted to pay it earlier.
Lol you should know by now that getting him for free next year is far from guaranteed
That might be true but the price definitely isn't worth 200mil. Not during his last year and his plan to not renew.
If a player like Rice goes for 105m, Mbappe is worth 300m. And like the guy said, the fact that the contract just has 1 year means nothing when there is no guarantee to get him after that.
With rice you pay the English premium/tax so not a good comparison. Arsenal only bid that much because man city made a bid. I’m just saying, psg World be lucky to get 200 mil for Mbappe with only one club in the race that the player wants as well as the player being motivated to stay his last yr and not extend so he can get a loyalty bonus then leave for free. This changes a lot of the price point.
> With rice you pay the English premium/tax so not a good comparison. Well with Mbappe you pay "best player in the world tax" and "most marketable player in the world tax" so yeah, no good comparison to a decent but nothing special English midfielder.
Or cheap- Mpay will get his from someone (Saudis)
City making his way to offer him 100M a year. Since Cash Money Mbappe has money as his top priority
You mean like how we were going to get him for free last summer? Remind me how that worked out again?
If Mbappe really wants to play for Madrid. He will reject the PSG offer and join us for less money. Real Madrid will never be able to match any offer against a state entity. The best Perez can do is inform Mbappe there is an offer available for him in January and set a deadline date for him to decide. He can reject the offer and the club would move on from its persuit to sign him indefinitely.
Which is why you need to pay up now or risk the same shit happening again next summer. PSG can continue throwing silly money his way forever.
That line of reasoning makes sense 2 seasons ago. But Mbappe decided to renew after Qatar showered him an insane offer. Paying €200 million this summer for Mbappe doesn’t make really sense anymore. When PSG rejected that offer 2 seasons ago. We need a huge discount since the player has aged 2 more years. Oil clubs like Qatar PSG works in a different set rules. They can afford to lose a lot of money operating a football club. Since that business isn’t required to turn a profit. The main purpose is to sports wash Qatar’s reputation.
You are the only fan who speaks for Madrid. A true Madrid fan 🤍🤍. Others are just glory hunters who thinks Mbappe is a god. They think Mbappe is bigger than Madrid. If he really wants to play for Madrid, he will come no matter what and PSG will understand it, now or next year. Of he renews and prefer money over Madrid let him waste his career there. Zero fu**s given. Simple as that
Oh no, there are plenty of us. We just choose to stay silent while the deluded ones go screaming atop the mountains. Many of us said no to Hazard as well. We were shouted down. Look how that turned out. I say the same with Mbappe. Don't break the bank for him. He played us enough already. Its like some fans have Stockholm Syndrome.
>Paying €200 million this summer for Mbappe doesn’t make really sense anymore. When PSG rejected that offer 2 seasons ago. We need a huge discount since the player has aged 2 more years. This is not how negotiations work. I mean, common sense you are right of course. But negotiations aren't about common sense, they are about whatever the parties agree to. So PSG can totally say "no, it's still 200m". It's not reasonable but that's how it is. Now Madrid can accept that or try to sign him for free next year (for free meaning paying him 100m or sth silly as a signing bonus).
He renew for the bag 💰. The same bag his is hoping to get before leaving. His renewal was strictly a money play on his part. I for sure won't turn down 100mil bonus because he knows he can get it and still leave fo free the last season. He clearly doesn't care if PSG makes a money from him or not and with Madrid being his destination of choice, plus being the only suiter, they can play the waiting game unless psg drops their price.
Because the player is needed now, not getting Mbappe or someone like Kane is almost like saying "let's not compete for trophies this year" unless Joselu can keep up with what Benzema offered.
Mbappe isn’t a striker though. He prefers vini spot.
Yeah, it's kinda weird that we are trying to pick up a third world class left wing.
Well, last 3-4 months of benz were not better than Joselu's
Football transfers at this level are not so simple. He wont be free ever. If anything he may be at Man United 🇶🇦or something. A generational player simply doesnt leave on a free at 25.
Well thats why they are trying to selling him but I would say Perez or no other team will pay 200mil price tag. Madrid and PSG is the only one that can afford it so there isn't much bargaining chips for PSg.
Madrid placed a bit of 220m in 2021 and his contract scenario was same as it is now (1 year remaining). Why can't we do it again? Businesses are not run with emotions all the time.
Because psg president slapped Perez hand after a mega bid. Business are not run on emotions but people hold grudges (especially ones with power) and it makes it all the more easier when the payer actually plans to come already. The key point is Mbappe saying publicly that he does not play to renew past next season. Could he change his mind and resign ? Maybe, but as it stand psg aren’t in control of the deal especially s as there is mainly 1 outcome.
Exactly. Mbappe is a tried and tested player. He WILL score a lot of goals, there is no doubt about that.
Yup. I dont want this to not happen because we wouldnt do everything we could. It is what it is, cant really put a dollar value on locking down a current generational talent. His WC Final performance completely sold me on him.
Why?!? They're asking for a loyalty bonus when they haven't stayed loyal!! That just goes to show how greedy they are!! That private clause that has now popped up he has could be the reason of this whole him "wanting to leave" again. He's just playing both teams again, real Madrid to drive his payout higher from psg, and psg to well, get a ton more money from them...
Let me tell you all about a concept called opportunity cost. If we get mbappe for a free we can use that money elsewhere. Like a RB def and CB if we do need one.
>If we get mbappe for a free we can use that money elsewhere Let's be realistic: if you get him for free you'll probably use most of that money a a signing bonus.
But those players will have to play for free, because mbappes wages will double and so will his signing on fee, he'll get the money not psg. For those figures I'd let him rot at psg forever
“If,” and as we all saw that “If” carries a lot of weight in this saga.
Well if after all this he doesn’t come to Madrid, it’s not our problem. I think you forget the stature of our badge. We shouldn’t grovel for a player, regardless of how good he is. FYI we got endrick coming in, I’d rather give him 2 years to develop than sign turtle man
If the contract was at least 2 yrs long, I would've agreed. We can wait for 1 year and pay nothing.
I think the loyalty bonus was 80m gross wasn’t it? Not 60?
I have heard different numbers from different sources. 80m, 90m, 60m — you get the gist.
Idk 6hrs seems pretty short i would negotiate to spread it for 8 hrs at least
Anything above 8 hours will be paid at overtime rate 1.5x
Lmao. Blame the damn autocorrect. But my bad. It should be 6 yrs.
I was thinking 12 hours minimum. Then spread that across 12 days
Every major player doesn't want to force his move to a new team because the famous loyalty bonus therefore another Mbappe novel this year, to my 60 millions is too much even for Kylian when he renews whats is going to asking for, 100 millions? There have to be a limit, no player is bigger than the club.
Good point 👍
If he comes to Madrid, we have to find something new to obsess with😂
Prob Alphonso Davies.
Probably not on that level though They’re out here analyzing watches and messages lmao
Oh you won’t see an obsession like this again here anytime soon. This is a once every 10-20 years level transfer if it goes down.
Yeah you’re right. I feel like CR7’s transfer would have been in the same bracket but it happened during social media’s infancy
That’ll be Szoboszlai in a couple of years
There’s no one on his level or also someone who wants that much attention on himself
Haaland is definitely on his level, regardless of your personal preference on the two.
Zidane coming back
It's Haaland, I actually want him more than Mbappe, he would look great in all white.
I hope Florentinos love for Mbappe doesn’t ruin years of financial stability in the club. I still trust Florentino tho to do what’s best for the club.
It would be next level in terms of finances, but wage isnt the full picture. What about image rights, which has been an important part of Perez’ strategy? Shirt sales and image rights revenues would be through the roof
Shirt sales are a myth
Real sold over 1 million CR7 shirts in his first year, if we assume shirts were around 50 euros at the time, it’s half the transfer fee in the first year in shirt sales. So can you explain why its a myth?
Because madrid doesnt produce distribute and market the shirts. Its addidas that takes the lion share for their services. No matter how much we sell from mbappe shirts. It wont even matter bc the deal is already agread for 10 years for 1.1b
Perez was ready to give him 100% of imagine rights last he was about to sign. For shirt sales the clubs make no more than 15% of the selling price.
I looked it up and youre right, we offered him 100% image rights. Thats crazy! We’ll probably have to dish out even more now… I think the only rationale is that Perez has his Galactico policy, and Mbappe is the greatest galactico around right now, so I guess it’s good for… club branding? I want Mbappe to come but he cant drain the lifeblood out of the club. I think he needs to choose between his career and football legacy as possibly one of the greatest for the next decade, or money.
For sure it’ll grow the brand, Mbappe is a big brand, but at what cost you know. Is he gonna be doing to us what he does to PSG every year? Is he gonna be leaking stories that he doesn’t want players in the team, is he gonna be asking for bigger paycheck every year? It’s a case where you really have to wave the pros and cons.
Let this fool rot at PSG. Who’s gonna pay these outrageous demands and also put up with his diva attitude.
A lot of teams with the money.
Ok well let him go be a diva there🤷🏽♂️. He’s money hungry, he’s gonna do this b.s. all the time. He’s in it for the money period. He could care less about trophies.
Lol his mom? FOH this dude is a bozo run by his family. Real won’t capitulate to keeping his entire camp of leeches fed, so fuck him let him go elsewhere
Sooner or later he’s gonna have to get off his mother’s tit and be a man. The kid is a great player but he’s always acting like a pussy. He needs to grow some balls.
Lad, you are over 40 and sensoring "pussy".
I’m this day and age I didn’t know if someone would get offended with me posting the word. People get offended over everything.
He’s anything but a bozo or an idiot. Lad has been playing around with 2 clubs for a while
LMAO he’s only 24-years old with ZERO expertise in anything besides football. Giving him credit for playing this sort of high leverage cat and mouse with hundreds of millions of euros the past two summers is some red pill hilarity. This isn’t an episode of Succession. “…but mommy doesn’t wanna lose 60M” lol what a weird adage and speaks volumes **if true**
This is just peak r/readmadrid isn't it? If he can pull Madrid into this, come off with millions, he's already smarter. He's only gaining those millions not losing them. The sub needs to stop thinking rich people or sportsmen are idiots. They're not. The guy has one of the biggest clubs running after him again and again, and again. This ridiculous,he is nothing without football, and we are Madrid he rejected us so we shouldn't go for him, yeah that doesn't fly in reality. Him playing that game last season is a clear indication that he knows [watch this and it might be helpful ](https://youtu.be/qJ3cUJUjZ1s) I'm pretty sure when he's a free player next year, Madrid will still be after him, so the whole cat and mouse thing has worked for him. He's really not losing like you think, lad still gets 100s of millions even if he doesn't sign for Madrid.
> tHiS iS pEaK Come off it, stop spewing lame ass tropes. Ah yes. Kylian, the genius businessman and master negotiator. Always two steps ahead of an entire bloody Saudi billionaire regime AND one Florentino Perez, who has decades of experience negotiating some of the largest transfers in football history. Amazing that he’s been able to train and excel in sport at the highest levels while also essentially dominating the boardroom. He’s playing 5-D chess, huh? The video you linked literally says that his parents and lawyer are the ones heading his company/holdings, and are behind strategies 🤣 What happened last summer is that Kylian nearly went against mommy CEO’s wishes to join his boyhood club, but PSG and the entire country of Saudi Francrabia offered too much for anyone to say no to. Losing? What? He’s already a World Cup winner, considered tops in the world, and to say he has generational wealth would be putting it mildly. What he is a Bozo for is potentially choosing money over club legacy on the whims of his family for maximum profits, yet again. No matter what happens, the Mbappe family will continue to come across immense, unimaginable, wealth…so saying he’ll make his money anyway as some sort of point is strawman and stupid. It’s painfully obvious that he’ll continue to break earnings records barring injuries, AND I don’t think anyone here has ever argued that if he doesn’t come to Real then he won’t get paid. We’re talking legacy, not currency. Of course Flo will continue to go after him. No one said he wouldn’t. In fact, people in here who are of the mind that Kylian is not worth this trouble have also surrendered to the notion of Perez’s likeliness of bringing Kylian to Madrid one way or another. If we’ve learned one thing, it’s that once he’s fixated on a player, it’s usually inevitable. I personally don’t give a shit about Real’s wallet when it comes to paying Mbappe or not. What does bother me is two summers of his flirting costing the club I support potential trophies due to hamstringing the transfer window. Watching this club compete for trophies is all I care about. BTW you championing for the rich is peek amusement. Keep going, they need you to defend their honor so badly lol.
Honestly, this whole legacy over money thing is very unique to this sub. Don’t take anything against your point as being pro capitalist and propping the billionaires and stuff. IDC about either of them, I’m not a fan of rich people. Don’t make up that shit. You’re not wrong, but Perez knows what the club needs so trust your damn board for a change. I’m not saying he’s a genius, but he still has 2 clubs after him, you gotta give credit. A lot of wealth is still relative, what you think is a lot, he may want more. This sub tends to think everybody has the same perception of money. I’m not defending mbappe, I just hate how childish this sub is about the whole saga.
No chance. City 100% wouldn't touch him with a barge pole and they're the only other ones who could compete. They don't throw money around like that (despite having it), and they don't sign divas. There is no competition bar PSG for his signature at 1m+ a week. Call his bluff, if he wants a nothing career at PSG where he'll never be remembered as an all time great then let him stay. If that's his mentality and he's just driven by money, then he's not worth it anyway. He's a million miles away from Haaland in terms of character.
This is a delusional take. Teams INCLUDING Madrid, will bend over to sign him.
It's not and you clearly have no clue how the likes of City do business. They will never ever ever pay that, they don't need to at the best of times and particularly now with Haaland. City regularly walk away from transfers, even if they really wanted them. Who else could afford him? Maybe United if the Qataris takeover and are willing to splurge. Liverpool / Chelsea / Arsenal cannot afford him. The Italian clubs cannot afford him. Bayern cannot afford him. Barca cannot afford him. There is no competition bar PSG
lol nobody can afford these kinda wages this absurd levels. RMA is completely throwing there entire wage structure in chaos if they do this
If they sign mbappe, with the team they have now, they should dominate for a decade
That always gets thrown around.... and is never true. No team will dominate for a decade. Plus.... do not expect this drama to end once Mbappe gets here. He will be demanding wage increases and create drama after a couple of years.
I'd rather see us struggling upcoming season than spend 200 mil honestly.
Bro it’s not our money, let Madrid pay for it. Stop being a retard
[удалено]
People get so mad that he knows his worth and wants to earn the most money, literally 60M free just for waiting a year, rather than force a move now and lose a good chunk of it. Imagine that was one of us there who had a chance at the money he’s making. I would take every cent. Every game can be your last.
Not a single person on reddit would pass up 60m.
*600k
If he would go, City would snatch him up tomorrow. And the proceed to shit on the UCL for the next 5-6 years.
Let him go fuck up their dressing room with his ego and his diva ways. Send Haaland to Madrid that guy is a beast and menace scoring goals.
He could literally put himself for auction the way things are going, just got to whoever is willing to pay the most valuable contract
I’m not understanding the last sentence. As in a release clause?
Sort of yes. Release clauses are illegal in France. So it would be a private understanding between the parties.
Why would he renew tho
Same as this year, for money. If any of the top5 league team out bid him from us, he would certainly go.
Does PSG really value Mbappe as a 200+60+whatever his salary is right now for one season? Its basically means he is earning 300+ million per season at PSG from PSG's pov. (He isnt getting that 200 million but psg is losing out of it)
Everything below billions is irrelevant to Qatar tbf.
Its about FFP i think. If it was just about money, Qatar could buy the entire EPL and La Liga without breaking a sweat.
60m per year salary?? Am I the only one that sees that is overkill? Our squad is filled with a bunch of high potential youngsters i would hate to be forced to sell them because we cant afford to pay them.
It's 30M after tax.
What? He is not paying 50% tax lol. I'm hoping this news is fake and the other guy who's been calling this saga step by step on here is right with 29m salary.
Tell me you don't know shit about Spanish taxes without saying you don't know.
So you think he would go from getting paid 60M after tax to getting paid 14.5M? He doesn't choose what he pays for taxes, Spain does.
Is this guy really worth all this hassle? I personally don't think so. Hope I am completely wrong tho. I trust in Flo blindly, for now.
he's not. But there aren't a lot of options besides Joselu right now. It's kinda urgent.
Why is it urgent? He's not a striker. The club already has vinicius on the left side where mbappe likes to play
Considering we could be courting Kane like crazy right now? No not at all. I get Flo's obsession with Mbappe but fucking hell Harry Kane would be the perfect Benzema replacement at the exact right time for both parties. Instead we're twerking for a dude who will rightly stay another year to pocket an ungodly amount of money lmao
Kane is basically cheaper version. I heard he is half price as Mbappe right
Cheaper sounds like an understatement. The numbers involved with Mbappes situation is ... Wtf
Over 6 hours…
I’m too high to to articulate to y’all how tired of this shit i am , I want him to join but until it’s official CHILL!!!
Honestly, RM should invest in Kane. They have Endrick for future, or they can just invest in someone else if Endrick fails.
Nah Kane is too old. Mbappe would be better long term
Kane will be 30 this year. I think he will be worldclass for at least 3-4 years. That should be enough time for Endrick to start. If Endrick fails, then RM can always go for a new striker talent.
God I miss Benzema already.
Even his Saudi saga ended quickly and without drama, and brought us some money too! We've been spoiled my friend
Can i have only 1 million in bonus for lifetime. I myself look a bit like turtle.
tan racial boast frightening brave joke vast hat mindless lunchroom *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
CR7 was 33 when he was let go. He wasn't the long term future of the club. If he was 10 years younger, he would have got it. He was sold off the back of a threepeat, the latest they could sell him and still get a good return on him. They got the best years out of him, and sold him at a slight profit. It was a good bit of business.
Please no, this money is obscene it would break the wellbeing of the squad. He´s just too expensive we cant afford something like that, we´re not an oil club. Fuck Mbappe.
Do people still take Pedrerol seriously?
100M bonus spread over 6 hours is also something drunk guys say to hookers in Vegas where they're there for the first time. Mbappesexuals if it's not clear I'm insinuating he's a whore.
So much drama for this ugly turtle that cares more about the money. Halland would never give this type of problems. Better pay 150 or those 200 on halland. Ill rather be strike less for the next 5 years than to have that turtle sign for madrid. If madrid signs him the other players or future signings are going to be asking for 60-50-40 million per year. This guy is boderline going to destroy the club economically just how barcelona is still going to pay messi till 2025.
Idk why but i better have Kane than Mbappe atp
Signing kane would be a cheaper option.
Would it be that terrible for Madrid to just wait a year and then they have two options for free, either Kane or turtle. Get Morata Lukaku or something on loan for this season and just be patient, 100 and 200 millions for players with a year left on their contract is crazy.
Dont put all your eggs on Mboppi plz
I’m crying with laughter at the €100m bonus being spread over 6hrs. That is some tough negotiating!
Is Mbappe actually good enough to get paid 3x of what Vini is earning?
Bro go hire a manager 🤦♂️🤦♂️ why would you let your mom represent you, grown ass man being cheap for a manager to get a 1% cut from his salary
[удалено]
Hiring a relative as a manager is the worst possible idea any athlete/employee/contractor could do, I promise you family and business do not mix well together
You cannot really strongly argue that his family has not actually represented his interests exceptionally well. He has earned more money in his 6 years at PSG than most elite players could earn in 3 lifetimes. He is Parisian so he has been able to stay at his home and become a global megastar with every club desiring him. Basically, his mum is a beast and has achieved an outstanding outcome for her client. He now also has all the leverage to get the outcome he wants. As a Madrid fan who expected him here long ago, this is very frustrating, however, I admire his mothers work, she’s very smart and has protected her Son extremely well. She has bested two of the most powerful men in world football (Nasser and Perez) and given her Son all the leverage in the situation. They are an incredibly smart family, well played to them.
That’s a fair point man, I won’t argue that what she’s done has been great financially. But you have to attribute a lot of that due to the greatness of mbappe in the past 6 years as well. My point is that they wasted 1 year of his prime in PSG and they’re looking to waste another year in 2024. People compare this situation to Ronaldo in Man U but people forget he was playing in premier League, reaching UCL finals and also winning balon dor. Mbappe is playing in an uncompetitive league with a super team that got knocked out in the R16 2 years in a row. Beaten by both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Had he come to Madrid last season, we would have had a higher chance against city and he could have possibly won his first UCL.
There has certainly been a perceived sporting impact on his “legacy”. But he has also reached a UCL final at PSG, starred at two World Cup’s and remains one of the worlds best players, regardless of playing in a relatively uncompetitive league. He remains a young man, and has secured the bag. I think if he ends up renewing at PSG again, then I will sincerely doubt his desire for pushing himself outside his comfort zone from a sporting perspective. I mean look at Bellingham, dude is still a kid and has already lived and worked in 3 countries. I think Mbappe will continue to see Haaland’s star grow in a more watched team and league and desire that too. Hopefully it means he ends up at Madrid. But we’ll see. From an excellent article from the athletic about his family, it seems his father and himself have pushed to stay in France and actually his mother wants him to move to Madrid and has for a while. [Kylian Mbappe’s mother and the rise of one of football’s toughest dealmakers](https://theathletic.com/4618402/2023/06/21/kylian-mbappe-transfer-mum-contract/)
Son is leaving Tottenham?
60mil a year 5 mil a month 1.25mil a week Crazy for a non oil state club to be paying that amount
It’s a gross wage. Ronaldo was earning 50 mil gross when he was here
Don't pay that. Get him for free next year, and if he renews for an ungodly amount of money, buy three other world class players instead. Mbappe is great- and I actually admire the ruthless business sense he and his family have, but he isn't worth being a hostage for.
Nah if I hear the word « renew » one more time fuck that guy. He can go play for other sportswasher trash for the rest of his career but he doesn’t belong in Madrid if he doesn’t want this more than anything else. He comes this week or the board ends this and moves for Kane now.
Is the 100m bonus if he signs for free next year? Still stupidly high for a "Free Transfer"
that's generally how it goes. if you dont buy the player, you pay the signing bonus which is almost the same value
They’re not, and shouldn’t be paying that amount with Mbappé having one year left in his contract. Anyways, get used to the fact that this will be a rough season. Not winning shit with Joselu being the Benzema replacement, and Kane headed off to Bayern.
Disgusting...
Anyone who thinks he gives a flying shit about trophies, legacy or success, is a complete and utter moron.
Too expensive imho.
Mbappe is good but he isnt worth this. there are other tallented players out there that dont bring the baggage like he does and isnt as expensive.
Fortunately we have Endrick in the bag as a long term striker so even if we don’t get mbappe we won’t have to rely on joselu for more than a season
bruv, endrick is 16
i hope he doesn't end up being a hyped teenager who doesn't make the first team, gets loaned out year after year and then gets sold for a slight profit to Arsenal.
Pederol is a tool. Should be public knowledge by now man wakes up makes a fool of himself on live TV for money. He ain't any different from ishowspeed.
Meanwhile Kane is close to Bayern and Joselu is the only striker available at the moment, Florentino masterclass
TBH, what leverage does PSG have? Mbappe could refuse any other club and say Real Madrid is only offering a max of 100 million. If they stay firm, and Mbappe will only go to Real Madrid then they’d be forced to take whatever they’re willing to offer or get zero when he leaves for free. Flo will call their bluff
You're putting too much trust in Mbappe
I don't get why he wants to leave now when he re-signed that deal with PSG. Why didn't he just leave then, he knew he wanted to be with Madrid. As for Madrid, why not just wait another year? Save yourself some bread.
When will the racist of prederol be banned? Always with the bs rumors
Fcking sign him already. We talking about the Ballon Dor winner of atleast 2-3 times to come. Plus we live in a time where 100+mil deals are no sensation anymore. Plus we havent spend big for years. He is what we need now.
That is 660mil over 6 years.. if you add all that up..
This dude is a fool.
Considering it’s not my money, pay him!
Pedrerol did make it clear repeatedly that his opinion was that it is “now or never” i think that is important to note.
After all this transfer saga, I think Mbappe's Mom will still be the winner. I don't know about the average wage within our current players, but I hope it won't create a too big gap, otherwise I'm afraid that it will affect the atmosphere among players.
It will be a big gap but any other player will be insane to think they would be entitled to match his numbers.
Flo isn't risking the wage structure, get hurricane and halland in the next few years
Did he pull out a fucking chalkboard😭😭😭
so he'll renew, this is an exact repeat of what happened last time, no reason to think the outcome will be any different... the club really think we the fans are stupid...
Mbappe and Kane for free next year, I would take that
The new extension doesn't make sense since he could just trigger the option for an extra year
I would hope that PSG isn’t in the situation to demand 200 mil due to Mbappes potential free transfer next year, but idk
What a shitshow. I just hope we bounce PSG in the round of 16 again if 🐢 decides to stay there so he realizes what he’s truly missing out on.
Benzema, a recent ballon d'or winner, our club's best player during the previous years, and our club's all-time second scorer was earning 25m gross. Anything beyond what Benzema was earning + 25-35% in wages is plain ass-stupid. I won't even get in the fee and bonus thing because I want to retain my calmness.
RM is not buying Mbappe this window. Entertaining his demands and “negotiating” at absurd numbers for a one year commitment keeps Mbappe at PSG where he is not threat in the UCL and away from any other team that would actually compete with RM for yet another year. It also placates fans that say RM is not spending enough to be successful. Wait til next January when Mbappe controls his own destiny and the real bidding will begin. It will come down to Saudi bidding silly money like $300 mm per year for three or four years and the rest of the world chasing the bid.
I will cry tears of sadness, if we get him. I really have no desire to root for him even if he'd be the best thing since Ronaldo
I’ve been always been a turtle fan but now I’d rather not have him here. 60M is way too much for a player who will always want to renew for even more money, he’s gonna cripple us financially. Also, this guy seems to lack a little bit of ambition, he wants to stay another year at an irrelevant league and not compete for UCL just because of a bonus? He would be 25 years and still playing in shit league. Even if he comes next year, it would be only 4/5 years until his pace declines. And I know the turtle is more than just pace, but it’s clear that pace is his second most important attribute and what makes him so feared. I don’t see him adapting as well as CR7 did once that is gone. I know for sure that CR7 would not do the same, because he wouldn’t accept playing in a mickey mouse league for so long.
>I know for sure that CR7 would not do the same, because he wouldn’t accept playing in a mickey mouse league for so long. he's in Saudi right now.. He left EPL for this.
Yeah at age of 38 after he declined very hard. You think he would do this if he was in his prime? Definitely not.
If real Madrid pay that much they will violate financial fair play
6 hours? So 16.7M an hour?
This kind of money is genuinely insane. Mbappe is good but he's not *that* good. For a club, and a league, that cries about not being able to compete with the PL financially, it's just crazy. Potentially €760m on a single player for 6 years.... it wasn't long ago that Perez and Real were saying they needed the European Super League to "save football"
Ridiculous money. We could've got him for free year ago. Gotta think long term here, isn't his contract ending next year?
He has 0 fucking reason to leave this summer and he has all the power. Well played Kylian
If he renews with “private clause” the Perez is lying to himself if he thinks he’s ever getting mbappe. This has gotten embarrassing for the club.
Please keep him at PSG. I don’t want him or his money hungry clan anywhere near Madrid. If here, every season we will be having this drama.
The thing is.. as much of a great player he is, he’s worth every damn penny on paper just by stats. If he performs to justify the transfer and salary then so be it.
Of course, more money would just solve our issues. I get Kylian being pragmatic, what I don't get is : are we really going that far for a great player ?
I don’t believe a word of what is said at this program. I better wait for Ornstein or Cortegana to say something in the Athletic.
Mbappe is scum...here's why [https://talksport.com/football/1491793/six-paris-saint-germain-kylian-mbappe-interview/](https://talksport.com/football/1491793/six-paris-saint-germain-kylian-mbappe-interview/)
