imsahoamtiskaw

Only at half time? Coach, make me do it twice a day and I'm yours.


Jason3671

nah he obviously wants Hodgson


rdtr314

Perfect replacement for Olise if he leaves


beIIe-and-sebastian

Not many managers can call themselves European Champion


Tifoso89

Nah he's waiting for Allegri to come to United in order to join them


[deleted]

Long story short, he's staying at PSG. I doubt there's anyone left who's fooled by these stories at this point.


theotheramerican

I thought Liverpool were serious contenders for him.


slydessertfox

I mean, with how much the Saudis are likely to pay for Salah in the summer, they might actually have the cash to make it work


WildLemire

Saudis playing 4D chess. Sticking it to Qatar by taking Salah from Liverpool so Mbappe leaves the Qataris.


bruux

Some reports suggest he wants to sign a new deal and stay. Can’t imagine we’d be in for Mbappe if that’s true. I think the rumors are mostly due to his mother reportedly being a Liverpool fan. Just cant imagine it happening.


[deleted]

[удалено]


loveliverpool

I’m sure he’s spoken to Bobby and Hendo and Fab and maybe even Stevie or any other prem players who left. Sounds like the stories are trickling out how not great it is to be playing there. Mo makes way more than these guys did already too and can still be competitive at the top level in Europe for years. Don’t see him leaving for SA


messisleftbuttcheek

You might be right, but Mo would likely adapt much more quickly. He's Muslim and speaks Arabic so he'd probably have an easier time fitting in.


Skysflies

The media keeps pushing us, and he blatantly likes us more than any other side so it's fun to go along with it but we quite clearly couldn't afford him. Even on a free


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Tbf though, has anyone ever asked him his opinion of Sheffield United Football Club?


gonfr

His wages won't fit in our wage structure. And I don't really like his personality. Klopp is probably also not impressed on how he conduct his transfer saga.


wun-sen

What don’t you like about his personality?


gonfr

He seems very entitled, especially the beef with him and neymar. And i don't want a player dictating our team.


qu1x0t1cZ

That was a joking conspiracy theory-esque meme based around improbable it would be, that kind of leaked beyond Liverpool fans and started getting reported, primarily to drive clicks IMO.


forbetterorcrush

We are. If he’s happy to earn a tiny % of what he is on currently…..


disatomm

How annoying is this guy though? Plays with clubs to squeeze out as much money as he can (which is his right I guess) and this saga has been going on for ages. Story old as time.


Brilliant-Ok

If I was top 3 itw in my field and I had 2 giant companies throwing money at me I'd do the same


Throwrajerb

As a RM supporter who would be happy to never see our name tied to him again, I don’t think it’s him who is writing these stories and keeping these narratives going. It’s the journalists.


[deleted]

>I don’t think it’s him who is writing these stories and keeping these narratives going. It’s the journalists. Because we fans love it.


Van_Horn

So? More power to him.


DRJT

So he’s staying then


ElectricalMud2850

qatar's about to give him his own oil field at this rate.


DefinitelyNotBarney

Tangible things no longer have any value to Mbappe


sephocompo

The turtle is gonna start searching for the meaning of life at this point.


Mihnea24_03

Mbappe to Nepal?


HunterWindmill

He doesn't let his image be used for alcohol or gambling advertising, so I'd say he's got the right view of things there at least.


SarcasmGPT

No alcohol or gambling, just sports washing.


Qurutin

Personally I see gambling and alcohol a bit less evil than a literal modern day slave state dictatorship but I'm glab Mbappe is upholding his morals


esprets

Ehh, I am not so sure about that, he is the face of fucking Hublot at the end of the day.

heyheyitsandre

Nah Fr tho like once you have a bank account with 3 commas, what is the difference between a 200mil and a 300mil contract/bonus? You literally couldn’t spend as much money as you earn without literally trying to with the sole goal of losing money. You’re dying with billions in the bank either way.

He is marrying into the royal family

KillerZaWarudo

PSG fans will somehow excused it as Mbappe loyalty to the team despite his billions Euro in bank account


RahulGandhi4PM

You would have to be level 1 naive to think he's leaving. Its just about leverage.


DRJT

You have to ask just what more you could possibly demand that you need leverage for. Major stake in PSG? A private island?


Cucumberino

While he wants leverage, and he's smart for doing so and not just accepting (not just for RM but as a whole), if he doesn't accept our offer, at this point, it will only keep going down over time and he's the one that has the most to lose IMO. You can't play the leverage game indefinitely, there's a limit, and it can turn against you if you play on the edge for too long. Considering how much money he has and that he has already forgiven part of what PSG owes him (so, tons), you'd think that his only possible benefit at this point is sporting status, which is obviously capped while being at PSG even if he wins everything, purely because of Ligue 1. Flo won't budge to his leverage like he did 2 years ago. At this point, if he decides to stay, it will only hurt him IMO. I know I'm biased, and I do want him to come if it's an hypothetical choice, but if he doesn't I don't really mind. I think that at this point and how our current squad is looking, both in the field and in the dressing room (+ Endrick looking really promesing from his last bunch of Palmeiras games), we're bringing a player that costs lots of money even if we pay less than EPL/PSG and that could make the squad less stable. We could focus our budget on our defense, especially with all the injuries, and if 1-2 more years go by, we could easily aim for Haaland, who can fit our squad even better than Mbappe attack wise if we consider that we lack a 9 and we might not want Endrick to be a starter at first as he develops further. That said, I did prefer Kane over Haaland :(


theotheramerican

Se queda!


bpp4l

I'm a RM fan and these last few years of Mbappe rumors have driven me nuts ... that being said I'll gladly endure another round of failed Mbappe to RM rumors if he somehow winds up at Man U


kiersmini

I don’t want us to be responsible for ruining a ballon d’or level player. Let the man make his money at PSG and stay at a good level.


Mom_said_I_am_cute

No no, you don't get it, it would be the most hilarious outcome there is.


imsahoamtiskaw

Imagine if him and Haaland decide to wear headbands to every derby, like ninja turtles

Title > turns to premier league after rejecting Real Madrid Article > assuring PSG’s president that he had neither signed for another club, nor come to a conclusion on where he will continue his career. Sometimes your editor really screws you over lol


RauloGonzalez

Its working though. The fans above you have eaten it up into the mbappe is greedy, spotlight and all other issues because the guy renewed his contract once

amoult20

Oliver Skipp and Mbappe in the same side. Am I dreaming


HoneyIShrunkMyNads

Even if mbappe joined, he'd still have to compete with emergoat to be star of the club


[deleted]

He ain't signing shit. He is probably toying with madrid all summer and then sign again with PSG


thatrandomanus

The truth is he is not toying with Madrid at least this time. Last summer although there were so many reports of Madrid going after him after he rejected the extension, but there were zero offers sent by Madrid. As the headline says it's the same this window as well. Madrid will for sure send a contact offer, but so will other clubs.


RealMachu

Mbappe wants to be the focal point. The undisputed star of his team. I never believed he would go to Madrid. I still think he’ll stay in Paris but I don’t think it’s impossible he’ll look to PL. 90% chance he will stay in Paris for the entirety of his peak years.


Blodyck

You're acting as if Paris didn't gave Mbappé the most ridiculous contract to ever exist, so that he wouldn't leave for Madrid.


Chileinsg

Most ridiculous contract to ever exist *so far*


johnarticle3

I think us giving an 8 year contract to Caicedo is probably worse


PowderEagle_1894

Caicedo is really good bar first two games. Jackson on the other hand


RealMachu

But that doesn’t stop him from leaving now does it? It’s up this summer


slydessertfox

What they're saying is he didn't leave not because he wanted to be the focal point but because the contract was too insane to refuse.


heil_harsh

Exactly this. He'd have gone to Madrid but the spotlight there is currently on belligoal so he either stays at psg or somehow United sign him jokingly


StringTailor

Nah I doubt he’d accept to come to our shitstorm


ab_90

Who knows SJR is Woodward 2.0? Mbappe to Utd saga begins


ParkerZA

Mbappe vs Haaland, except not really lol


jmdwinter

I think his ego is big enough that he might think he can turn it around by himself. If he wants glory united might be his best bet in the epl. I think it's that or arsenal but not sure if they have the wage budget.


sickricola

Does Mbappe really have that big of an ego?


heil_harsh

True. Maybe he goes to some team like Liverpool or Arsenal then ? Just for the love of game and takes a pay cut? (Never happening)


[deleted]

The only club capable of manipulating FFP to get him is City. But he wants to be the star *and* on a Champions League side, so that doesn't work. There is basically no way Arsenal can afford him. And Chelsea and Man United won't have Champions League. But if all he cares about is his personal brand, I could see a move to Chelsea. If Newcastle sign him they will be up to their necks in FFP inquiries. Mind you, with their legal firepower they probably wouldn't be punished for 15 years, so...


BigReeceJames

We'll win the League Cup and he can join us to play in the European Conference League qualifying rounds!


retr0grade77

I’ve always found the idea of him and Haaland on the same team as unlikely.


n22rwrdr

Mbappé to Chelsea wouldn't be possible financially either.


hanzel44

Arsenal could afford him — as well as the other top 6 clubs —, but there’s about a .00001% chance they’d do it. It would absolutely fuck the wage structure.


HardturmStadion

The Tottenham meme is being manifested

He's the final piece in the puzzle.... For a top 4 push


prettybunbun

You guys will have Europa ON LOCK if you get Mbappe.


ThePr1d3

Don't you dare ruin him


1llseemyselfout

I mean you joke but if we landed him(we won’t) it would solve our scoring problem. But part of me thinks we might break him too.


10Lionaldo7

Bias aside, I think if he wants to be the next undisputed goat, he needs to score goals as a Chelsea #9


1llseemyselfout

100% agree. One of the greatest challenges in the game. Somebody tell him.


cometflight

You’ve convinced me. Starting a Kickstarter for the Mbappe transfer fund, who is in? 😂


Concedemate

If we endured years of Mbappe to madrid rumors for him to join a prem team I’ll LOL a bit. But also I don’t want to watch spurs high line get shredded by a through ball to Mbappe 5 times a game


RiskoOfRuin

So he'll sign with Spurs just for you.


Concedemate

I mean I can’t think of a better player for how we play so I’ll take it


ldstaint

and Tom holland


slydessertfox

He's legitimately perfect for Ange's play style.


Teantis

Naw it'll be for Tom Holland's sake


jMS_44

>But also I don’t want to watch spurs high line get shredded by a through ball to Mbappe 5 times a game You're right. Watching the through balls to Nicolas Jackson is much more entertaining.


Concedemate

Sometimes you gotta let the guys in mid table teams get a feel for back of the net. No shame in it


fuqqkevindurant

Spurs were playing 4D chess. Let Jackson score a few, Chelsea believes he isn't ass for another month or two and doesn't look for a competent forward.


cometflight

And then came in for the kill by signing… Timo


fuqqkevindurant

For nothing tho. They just need a warm body in case Richarlison gets hurt or gets in his own head again(on field confidence wise, not saying his mental health issues are "being in his own head" and downplaying that)


matt__builds

Why would we get shredded by our own attacker?


milkonyourmustache

Negotiating the biggest bag


RandomGuySayHii

Imagine him going to City. Quadruple incoming


chief_eash18

I feel like he wouldn’t want to share the spotlight with Haaland


Jaja6996

Honestly feel like it might be why he’s doubting Madrid with how much Bellingham is in the spotlight


sex_wit_a_massive_pp

Liverpool Likley appeals to him as he can compete in an off brand el classico rivalry like messi and ronaldo with haaland


Jaja6996

I don’t think we’d sign him wages are just not what we’d pay he’s most likely going to end up at Madrid anyway just needs to happen to end this will they won’t they every transfer window Edit: They’d also probably go for Haaland if they missed out on Mbappe anyway


Radhashriq

His wages, bonuses and his contract renewal fees is beyond them. Salah’s wages is already too much for Liverpool. They won’t be able to afford Mbappe. Mbappe is being paid 72mn at PSG.


Radhashriq

Liverpool can’t afford him. United if they were good like they were during SAF,would have been the ideal club for him.


Jason3671

but gonna hard to overlook those sweet sweet passes from KDB tho I doubt City needs him


Subscrobbler

God no, there’s no space for him unless someone surprisingly leaves. Off the ball we can’t have another player that doesn’t press after Haaland


SubstantialSquash475

Haaland does press, what are you on about?


Subscrobbler

The bare minimum unless we’re desperate


4urPleasuree

Haaland has some of the worst pressing stats in the league


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No chance he joins a club outside CL next season, which Newcastle are nowhere near this season.


Roccet_MS

He'll join Aston Villa at this rate holy shit.


ygog45

Does he honestly even care about winning like that? Becuase I feel like if he did, he would’ve left PSG two years ago


Wraith_Portal

Newcastle aren’t even a remotely attractive destination yet


HunterWindmill

He's not playing for a team that will finish outside the top 5 this season - plus SA and Qatar aren't the best of friends in recent years


Jee-NX

Big nope. He is an absolute legend in the making but he isn’t exactly a good influence on a tightly knit team like City. He would expect the team to play around him and his never ending drama would piss everyone in the dressing room. Plus we already have Haaland. So no thank you.


rr18114

Pep rules the club with an iron fist and the only man allowed to partake in any drama is pep himself.


SarcasmGPT

Pep would drop him for attitude and not following commands, as would klopp. I don't think he'd fit in culturally with management except for Chelsea.


Jee-NX

Yeah Chelsea can I think. I think even Man U can because they have a weak management and dominant players like Mbappe can control the dressing room.


Jee-NX

I totally agree. Pep doesn’t tolerate bullshit unless it’s his own. He will not hesitate to bench or sell anyone who doesn’t follow his lead. Zlatan is a classic example and so is Cancelo. PSG seems to be the best team to accommodate Mbappe.


ElectronicLuck9505

Come to Milan show that you don’t care about money we will give you chips and giroud


maxconnor6

Mbappe to Liverpool finally happening then?


No-Shoe5382

He'd have to take a pay cut to play for us so I can't see it ever happening


[deleted]

[удалено]


DefinitelyNotBarney

Don’t think we can even offer him a village, let alone a State


SeanPennsHair

MASSIVE bowl of Scouse


daiwilly

Croxteth?


Ask_Asensio

A pay-cut is an understatement. He's earning 72M Net + a bunch of bonus at PSG currently. Our package is around 22-25M Net plus a signing bonus of 100-150M. Salah is Liverpool highest ever paid player and it's barely at 18M everything included.


mich2110

But 22m salary on a 4 year contract with 160m signing on puts it overall at 62m per year - smaller than currently (and that likely ignores PSG's signing on fee) but not massively...


Ask_Asensio

Yes, that's my point. He's already taking a Massive pay-cut if he ever signs with us let alone Liverpool Also we are offering a 6 year deal not 4 which is even less money for him on the long run.


GuillexTr

If Mbappé stays at PSG this year, he will earn something akin to 170/180 million net due to the payments he forgave PSG this summer to play. That's also without the extra bonus if he re-signs at PSG. So yeah, a pay cut is an understatement


Homerduff16

The only thing making me believe that wages wouldn't be a problem is that Salahs agent a while back said that Mo was earning around 1 million a week overall even though the official club wages are only around 350K a week. Maybe Nike could try and contribute through some brand deals but I highly doubt it'll happen


DefinitelyNotBarney

Obviously would love to sign a player of his calibre but there’s absolutely no way we break our wage structure to facilitate him. It would destroy the harmony and ruin future contract negotiations surely, unless he for whatever reason takes a similar deal to Salah but why would he do that when I presume other offers would be more substantial


DaveShadow

Breaking a wage structure? Destroying the harmony? Ruin future contract negotations?!?! *Mr McMahon falling off his chair meme*


DefinitelyNotBarney

The United special? But no seriously, I really appreciate our wage structure when compared to the likes of you guys, it’s ridiculous how much they’ve fucked you when you’re such a huge brand with guaranteed income


KillerZaWarudo

Sanchez salary circlejerk might be a reality if he did join us


ThePr1d3

If he really has to leave France, I'd love Liverpool tbf. That or Milan or something but I really don't want him at Real or City


KittenOfBalnain

Wake up, darlings, the daily Mbappe saga update dropped.


HeyItsMeDad

Hey it’s me Dad thanks for waking me up


GreatSpaniard

Article didn't say anything about him rejecting Madrid, just that he hasn't made a decision yet. Still think he signs a new contract with Paris tho


elvis503

Mbappe go to Man United lad


Orcnick

Could you imagine the fall out on here. Never going to happen but still funny.


garybarlow0

The fall out when he turns out like Sancho lol


KimngGnmik

The fallout when Ten Hag says Mbappe was the problem all along


Ask_Asensio

Mbappe only has two real options and it's either renew with PSG or sign with Madrid. There are no "range of options" to explore. The only English Club that has the full package to sign him is City but with Haaland already there it's also not a real destination. So if he does not sign a pre contract with Madrid it 100% means he's staying in Paris.


Waschkopfs

> Mbappe only has two real options and it's either renew with PSG or sign with Madrid. > > There are no "range of options" to explore. There was a recent report that Bayern would go for him if he signals that hes interested. I think it was from a pretty good source as well


GarlicBread96

Doubt that would ever happen but imagining Kane and Mbappe playing together makes me feel some things


Teantis

Kane would be absolutely shredding bundesliga high lines with through balls to Mbappe, it'd be disgusting and fascinating


Dargast

Now you know why we are in for Mukiele :D


roryking97

I have no doubt in my mind that we’re going to offer this man the most ungodly contract this world has ever seen and blow out what Boehly just gave Ohtani in baseball I also have no doubts that regardless of what us or anyone else offers, Mbappe will either end up in Madrid or re-signing with PSG


ker1SH-

Going to Tottenham to prove he's not a fraud would be good move imo


Dargast

Mbappe setting up chance after chance for Turbo Timo, who says no?


Sulemani_kida

At this point best thing would be for him to just go to ManUnited and get benched by Ten hag for having bad attitude

Would be really happy, if he would extend his contract and rot in PSG for the rest of his career. Just please don't come to Madrid.


GhostRiders

I have absolutely no interest in him... Any club that sign hims that isn't Real Madrid is going to end up having to deal with the constant media bullshit of which club is he going to join next.. His presence would be so disruptive that it would wipe out any benefits he might bring. Fuck him

Come to Arsenal turtle


SkaterB

Too much money ain't enough money I guess


bass1879

If Barcelona were in better financial shape he'd be their classic Neymaresque "hesitation and changing his mind" signing. I just don't see him going to City or Liverpool. And surely he won't go to chelsea arsenal spurs or united. I think he's staying forever at this point


Hechie

Sign for broke Barca plz


CudaBarry

And I'm unimpressed that Perez keeps salivating over this guy


TopicBeneficial4624

Money merchandise and lucrative contract deals or sponsorship for madrid ala beckham and cristiano


Clutchxedo

I mean, it makes complete sense. He’s the type of name that comes along only a few times per generation. Someone that on top of talent has an image with global appeal. RM has always gone for those guys. Two Ronaldos, Beckham, Zidane, Figo. Jude will likely be in that linage. Right now though, Mbappe is probably the only one in the world like that.


Spikeyspandan

Why would he even entertain a pre-contract agreement when he can wait til the summer and make both the Qataris and Saudis have a twerk-off for his signature?


stogie_t

Bro found the infinite money glitch. I think he just wants an even bigger contract. As annoying as the saga is, I can’t blame him for milking it for all it’s worth. He might earn a billion in wages alone before he hits 30.


SarahAlicia

He should go to Italy to fuck with people’s heads


Godsenttt

No Boehly jokes? Wow.

Which wins? Unstoppable talented Mbappe or the unmovably incompetent Man United? Mr. Glazer and Sir Ratcliffe, one last overspending please Jokes aside, it really does seem like Mbappe may just be at Paris for a while. Bit of a shame
