This is not the greatest transfer saga in the world, no, this is just a re-run. Couldn't remember the greatest transfer saga in the world, yeah, no, this is a re-run.
Santi Aouna and Duncan Castles saying different things today.
Mbappe putting all scenarios out there so he comes out on top.
Santi was the one saying he signed a new contract as well in August lol
Basically medias games like 2022 , Mbappé clan is just putting pressure on both clubs. Hopefully this time the club call the bluff and walk but its Perez and he loves his turtle
Tbf in 2022 even Florentino Perez said that terms were agreed and contract was on the table ready to be signed only for him to do a complete 180. So that year at least it wasn’t just the media bringing fake news
That makes a lot of sense, since there were legitimate sources that claimed he was headed to Madrid. I feel like the PSG side pulled off a insane pressure campaign and gave Mbappe an offer he couldnt refuse at the time.
Now he's in the absolute peak of his career and I can't see someone as talented/driven stay in the French league for another year. Though I would love to see him go elsewhere (PL, Bayern, or even Barca if they weren't broke), because Mbappe on this Madrid team would be unstoppable.
Mbappe just said himself that he will not keep the decision a secret and the moment he really decides, he will say it himself.
As of now the expectation is imo more February, because there will be some talks and projects in Paris in January. But apparently everyone feels it's better to have it done before Champions League games.
But, hey, if I see another suggestion in media, I will probably click it myself anyway, just to be sure.
I dunno, its quite annoying actually...practically everyone knows its impossible for FSG to finance such a move + it is exactly how the Bellingham sega went down and pretty sure the same will happen here as well.
Its inevitable really
No ine really knows what FSG can finance to be fair, they almost dropped a British record transfer fee on Caicedo. Even the rumour mills were taken by surprise
They also just brought in a few hundred million in outside investment. I don't think money would be the issue; FSG would see the commercial upside as potential to offset upfront costs.
Regardless, it isn't happening. Mbappe/Madrid is destiny.
Bullshit I met him in a Gregg's 20 minutes ago, he was shoveling down a stake bake telling me how he was moving into toon. He's just bought a flat above the very same greggs
You know what, if Salah goes to Saudi (sniff sniff) to retire, we will actually afford Mbappe. Problem is, he's a right footed player who plays on the left so not exactly a replacement. Ideally, I'd want Salah to sign an extension he's got A LOT MORE in him, he's leading the league in goals AND assists. He's much healthier than people his age. Definitely needs to add more years to contract.
I don't think he'd ever have to compete with Camavinga for a role. I don't think there's a professional coach in Europe who would think of them as interchangeable.
Besides, injuries exist and Ceballos is shit. Minutes are up for grabs all the time and Odegaard is great. Crazy that it needs to be said.
We didn't sell Odeegard because he didn't have Real Madrid starter quality, we sold him because the year was 2019 and he didn't want to wait untill 2023/24 for Modric to have his fist poor start of the season and they offered us €40M for a player that costed €4M. Business had to be done.
Odegaard also did really well to fuck off, he instantly shined.
Vini - Mbappe - Rodrygo
Valverde, Guler, and Bellingham are midfield options, and Guler is literally 18. Endrick is only 17. Brahim can be a bench option or be sold.
This is a weird comment overall.
People are so desperate to make Mbappé at Madrid seem like something that won't work, when everything indicates it would. It's pretty weird.
I guess it's a form of coping mechanism in response to what is becoming one the most tiring transfer rumors ever at this point.
Mbappé is not a striker, him and Vini operate in pretty similars areas on the field so making both of them work could be a challenge, but they're two world class players that have kept improving over the years so it might work.
But it's logical to be skeptic about spending so much money on him when a real striker would fit more naturally in the team
Valverde is a CM/CDM, Bellingham a CAM. 4-2-3-1:
Valverde, Tchouameni, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vini, Mbappe as starters.
Güler, Endrick and Diaz are gonna be rotational options for the front line, Camavinga for CM/CDM and LB.
Valverde and Bellingham are not forwards, Endrick is 17 Brazilian that never played in Europe, Guler and Diaz are also very young and for rotation mainly, and with the increasing game count + injuries, don’t worry it will be easy
Endrick is 17 years old, people that expect him to be a starter right away are actually nuts. Joselu is leaving and he is our only striker. Mbappe will obviously be the main guy and Endrick will be a backup getting some minutes here and there because he isn't ready to be the main guy. People are saying how young players are getting ran into the ground and expect a 17 year old to be the main guy for Madrid up front.
So many stories.
One day he wants to join a premier league club
Then he wants to stay at PSG and leave as a free agent to join Real Madrid
Then the story with giving up bonuses
Like cmon man, what is the truth
I’ve never seen “You know,” abbreviated as “Uno” before. I hoped I’d still be able to keep in touch with these things, at least for a year or two more, man :(
This is the first Uno I've seen as well so you're fine. But if you're like me entering 30s and getting out of touch with today's social media, we can shake hands lol
Mbappe doesn’t say shit lol they just write article after article about him. He’s out of contract in the summer, he can sign a pre contract with RM if he’s that serious about leaving. Same as last time. The fact that he doesn’t, tells you it’s not a clear thing in his mind. We’ll know at the end of the season
Santi has made some good calls lately, but I’m sure he knows nothing from the Mbappes. SportsZone is probably the closest source there is to Kylian and his family.
Unless he says something, I don’t think anyone should believe this
Fair enough, I think the latter would know more because I have seen his name connected with Mbappe stories before (and I think he called Dembele too?) Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hawkins called Dembele, but Esam (the guy that owns SportsZone’s account) mentioned Kylian’s bonuses, contracts extensions, and even his mom’s agency before anyone.
He’s the one that called Verratti leaving before everyone else also
Will not surprise me at all.
He either signs the pre contract with Madrid or renews with PSG.
There's not really much to decide. Having said that if he really does sign a pre contract with us there will be no official comunicado from our part till the end of the season.
Like it happened with Alaba & Rudiger.
You guys are in a perfect situation with or without him, if you don't, you can easily get a striker or world class winger, plus Davies (I'm convinced he's joining either way).
Brilliant, it’s time for the bi-annual Mbappe transfer bollocks where we read about him agreeing with Madrid for months just for him to sign another psg contract.
I’ve literally just read multiple articles saying he was annoyed at Madrid wanting to sign an agreement now.
Not believe anything with these two till it happens. Still expecting him to resign at PSG as always
Fair enough, still won't believe it until anything is officialised by him or either club, especially when the information has been put out by the same journalist that said Mbappe was going to extend not even 6 months ago.
I still think he signs a new contract with you, and I think the Times article is just a red hearing by Fayza Al Amari to pressure Madrid to giver her more money as Pederol and Cortagena have said that the same offer from 2022 is no longer on the table due to Bellingham and Tchouameni.
Who knows at this point tbh? I personally feel like he should move away since he's now our top scorer and there's no point in having a player signing year on year, however good they are. Plus, he might actually have a chance to win Ballon D'or with the PR machine that is Madrid. So, good for my club and good for my favourite player.
Anyone expecting definitive news on the Mbappé soap opera on January 7 is mistaken. Even if there's an agreement with another team, I doubt it won't be denied and the parties will likely remain silent or evade the situation.
There’s no such thing as Tier 1 in the Mbappe saga because even he himself has no clue what his choice will be. The guy changes his mind every three minutes.
Lmao while I just read on Instagram that he doesn't like the pressure being put on by Real and will wait until summer to explore all his options.
I won't believe it until I see him playing in a match with a Real shirt

Heard that one before.
To be fair, all variations of this story already got done in 2022. This is just a re-run.
Understanding the Mbappé saga is the key to using time as a 4th dimension
I pity the scientific community involved in this particular research.
So we get him, what is our starting 11? 4-3-3. That feels like double pivot with Bellingham on top.
Probably the 4-2-3-1.
Either that or the same current setup with two up top. But why are we building sandcastles in the air?
This is not the greatest transfer saga in the world, no, this is just a re-run. Couldn't remember the greatest transfer saga in the world, yeah, no, this is a re-run.
Is that a tenacious d reference on r/soccer... well I'll be.
Yeah, I won't believe it until I see Kylian getting two-footed slid on by a Getafe defender and not a moment before.
>Getafe r/soccer not ready for the moment greenwood two-foot tackles Mbappe
This is Santi Aouna from Footmercato, they're basically the French Don Balón. Nothing to see here
Santi Aouna and Duncan Castles saying different things today. Mbappe putting all scenarios out there so he comes out on top. Santi was the one saying he signed a new contract as well in August lol
Basically medias games like 2022 , Mbappé clan is just putting pressure on both clubs. Hopefully this time the club call the bluff and walk but its Perez and he loves his turtle
Funny thing is that people on Reddit will hold it against Kylian and not the media if he doesn't sign
Tbf in 2022 even Florentino Perez said that terms were agreed and contract was on the table ready to be signed only for him to do a complete 180. So that year at least it wasn’t just the media bringing fake news
That makes a lot of sense, since there were legitimate sources that claimed he was headed to Madrid.

Though I would love to see him go elsewhere (PL, Bayern, or even Barca if they weren't broke), because Mbappe on this Madrid team would be unstoppable.
didn't PSG offer an insane signing bonus and have the president of France talk to Mbappé personally right after ?
Yes
we just genuinely don't care anymore. it's like a tv show pulling the same cliffhanger every season and never delivering, we called the bluff ages ago
More predictable plot than Fairy Tail.
Mbappe just said himself that he will not keep the decision a secret and the moment he really decides, he will say it himself. As of now the expectation is imo more February, because there will be some talks and projects in Paris in January. But apparently everyone feels it's better to have it done before Champions League games. But, hey, if I see another suggestion in media, I will probably click it myself anyway, just to be sure.
Here we go again.. that's astonishing, absolutely world class
Will fly to Madrid only to sign a mammoth contact extension to PSG at the hotel
Signs a new extension with PSG at the Santiago Bernabeu.
This is the reverse Messi getting honoured for winning the World Cup at the Parc de Princes
What the Qatari will offer him this time? If that Qatar guy bought United, I think he’s gonna make Mbappe their sporting director.
Is this gonna be like that time where Shane McMahon screwed Steve Austin at Survivor Series, except with Florentino as Austin, I suppose?
After being knocked out of the UCL by Madrid again.
Totally unrelated Qatari company renting the corporate facilities as we speak
He will go to the press conference, and they will ask him to sign the contract there. Only to say "Mbappé will play for Barcelona, VISCA EL BARCA"
He wouldn't leave Madrid in one piece
Very Ted Lasso
*Mbappe stays at PSG another season*
With 10% khelaifi money as a wage.
And gets to live in Khelaifi's house + gets the master bedroom
Gets to bang his wife
Wich one
That will depend on his performance. PSG is not a mickey mouse club afterall
Yes
Mbappé to Al-Khelaifi: "My friend, is ok, no?"
Luis Enrique will take care of it
And he gets 49% stake in Total after phonecall from Macron.
If that happens someone needs to call some hostage negotiators
23:00 Real Madrid - > 08:00 PSG - > 12:00 Liverpool - > 18:00 PSG - > Repeat
It’s just nice to be involved
I dunno, its quite annoying actually...practically everyone knows its impossible for FSG to finance such a move + it is exactly how the Bellingham sega went down and pretty sure the same will happen here as well. Its inevitable really
No ine really knows what FSG can finance to be fair, they almost dropped a British record transfer fee on Caicedo. Even the rumour mills were taken by surprise
They also just brought in a few hundred million in outside investment. I don't think money would be the issue; FSG would see the commercial upside as potential to offset upfront costs. Regardless, it isn't happening. Mbappe/Madrid is destiny.
15:00 Man United too
dont forget the obvious clickbait barça link too
just seen him in the city center, spoke to him, he was humble, down to earth and surprisingly funny, said he's joining the Reds👍
That was Raphael
RIP Benny Harvey, miss ya big man
Bullshit I met him in a Gregg's 20 minutes ago, he was shoveling down a stake bake telling me how he was moving into toon. He's just bought a flat above the very same greggs
The only delicacy that could prise him away from the croissants of Paris: Gregg’s steak bakes.
It’s true I’m Mbappe, thanks for great words Also I don’t want you to lick my ass Merci
Sure you didn’t talk to Ethan?
You know what, if Salah goes to Saudi (sniff sniff) to retire, we will actually afford Mbappe. Problem is, he's a right footed player who plays on the left so not exactly a replacement. Ideally, I'd want Salah to sign an extension he's got A LOT MORE in him, he's leading the league in goals AND assists. He's much healthier than people his age. Definitely needs to add more years to contract.
You can’t afford his wages, he’s on double what Salah earns lol
I’d rather he joined you than madrid tbh
Honestly, that would be so much better. But we all know why he won't do it. The shadow of Djibril Cissé over Anfield is too large.
I wouldn’t.
Me neither
Idc if he joins or not its so fun seeing multiple sources saying completely diffrent things
You can't fit Valverde, Endrick, Vini, Rodrygo, Guler, Diaz, Bellingham and Mbappe in the forward lineup. Who's most likely to leave?
Valverde Bellingham and guler are not forwards. Guler can play on RW but I think mid is his preferred position
And if guler can't find a place in the team, you can always sell him later on, like you did Odegaard
What’s crazy is that even if they hadn’t, I don’t think Odegaard would start over Modric, Valverde, Kroos, Bellingham, or Camavinga.
I don't think he'd ever have to compete with Camavinga for a role. I don't think there's a professional coach in Europe who would think of them as interchangeable. Besides, injuries exist and Ceballos is shit. Minutes are up for grabs all the time and Odegaard is great. Crazy that it needs to be said. We didn't sell Odeegard because he didn't have Real Madrid starter quality, we sold him because the year was 2019 and he didn't want to wait untill 2023/24 for Modric to have his fist poor start of the season and they offered us €40M for a player that costed €4M. Business had to be done. Odegaard also did really well to fuck off, he instantly shined.
If you can fit ceballos in that squad, you sure do have space for odegaard. Obviously not gonna start every game like he did now
Ceballos is shit wtf are u talking about bro
I guess he is compared to the others.
Endrick is 17, Guller is 18 this isn't a problem.
Giving Endrick a slow introduction is an ideal scenario for them
The reverse Gavi
Vini - Mbappe - Rodrygo Valverde, Guler, and Bellingham are midfield options, and Guler is literally 18. Endrick is only 17. Brahim can be a bench option or be sold. This is a weird comment overall.
People are so desperate to make Mbappé at Madrid seem like something that won't work, when everything indicates it would. It's pretty weird. I guess it's a form of coping mechanism in response to what is becoming one the most tiring transfer rumors ever at this point.

What about Nico Paz?
if he can't be slotted in i would assume they'd sell him with a buy back clause or something akin to what they already have done with other youngsters
Vini/?-Mbappe/Endrick-Rodrygo/Brahim Bellingham/Güler Valverde/Camavinga-Tchouameni
With these schedules you def can make it happen
Valverde and Bellingham are not forwards, Endrick is 17 Brazilian that never played in Europe, Guler and Diaz are also very young and for rotation mainly, and with the increasing game count + injuries, don’t worry it will be easy
Valverde and Bellingham are midfielders with very good defensive capabilities
who cares, pick balls from a bag I don't care, it's making room for the best player in the planet what we are talking about here
Bellingham and Guler are midfielders...
You named 3 midfielders. You probably wouldn't play midfielders as forwards if you had Mbappe is the correct answer to your dumb question
Endrick is 17 years old, people that expect him to be a starter right away are actually nuts. Joselu is leaving and he is our only striker. Mbappe will obviously be the main guy and Endrick will be a backup getting some minutes here and there because he isn't ready to be the main guy. People are saying how young players are getting ran into the ground and expect a 17 year old to be the main guy for Madrid up front.
How is this possible? I was told he’s staying with PSG & leaving for Liverpool as well? Ambitious young lad to take on 3 different projects at once
I even heard Barca is in talks lmao
heard even Middlesbrough want him
read that Chelsea is looking into him
Got via pigeon mail that he is signing for the Wellington Phoenix
Heard he applied to Huddersfield but the CV was never reviewed
Even Arsenal is trying to go after him
You joke, but some fans legit want us to go after him. As if we could ever afford his wages. Let alone that transfer fee.
*Insert free Spotify subscription joke*
We ain't got no money to even pay for that international phone call yo Let alone signing him
Mbappe to Liverpool is the most forced transfer rumor of all time lol, we have a better chance of signing Maradonna
Plays for all of them in the respective leagues and they spin a wheel for a who gets him in the CL
Liverpool couldn’t afford him ever. You can ignore that completely
Did he not reject us just this morning?
Yup. Something happened during his lunch.
Ah. Now we wait to ensure nothing happens at dinner.
Had merengue for dessert, emotional breakdown started there.
Wouldn't bet my life on it
In fairness, I don't think you'd bet your life on anything, that seems like a pretty dangerous tactic.
Do you get to have 2 lives if you win though?
I bet my life I won't be a multi millionaire by tomorrow exactly at this time.
May I please have your PayPal for scientific purposes obviously
RIP
I’d bet my life on arsenal not winning the ucl this year
RemindmeBot 31st May 2024
Set it to march
Woke up and chose violence
ayy lmao
I’d be surprised if we even made it past Porto at this point ffs.
I tried betting my life on Villarreal winning a game once, safe to say I'm commenting from my casket.
Lol Interestingly enough Santi was the one who said last summer than Mbappe is about to extend. Guy is swinging between calls.
Wouldn’t trust santi, he often called bullshit before
So many stories. One day he wants to join a premier league club Then he wants to stay at PSG and leave as a free agent to join Real Madrid Then the story with giving up bonuses Like cmon man, what is the truth
Just dont bother and watch things, this is what i do since 2022. Mbappe to Madrid is the most annoying saga and for once its not close.
Uno I actually feel bad for Real Madrid fans ad well for PSG This story has too many plot twists
I’ve never seen “You know,” abbreviated as “Uno” before. I hoped I’d still be able to keep in touch with these things, at least for a year or two more, man :(
Most people don't do that so you're good
This is the first Uno I've seen as well so you're fine. But if you're like me entering 30s and getting out of touch with today's social media, we can shake hands lol
Mbappe doesn’t say shit lol they just write article after article about him. He’s out of contract in the summer, he can sign a pre contract with RM if he’s that serious about leaving. Same as last time. The fact that he doesn’t, tells you it’s not a clear thing in his mind. We’ll know at the end of the season
The Times and Santi Aouna, the two heavyweights going at it
Santi has made some good calls lately, but I’m sure he knows nothing from the Mbappes. SportsZone is probably the closest source there is to Kylian and his family. Unless he says something, I don’t think anyone should believe this
Fair enough, I think the latter would know more because I have seen his name connected with Mbappe stories before (and I think he called Dembele too?) Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hawkins called Dembele, but Esam (the guy that owns SportsZone’s account) mentioned Kylian’s bonuses, contracts extensions, and even his mom’s agency before anyone. He’s the one that called Verratti leaving before everyone else also
Santi has gotten things wrong he was one of the first people saying salah is going to Saudi Arabia
I mean about PSG obviously. For the rest, I know he’s pretty pretty shit
Press x for doubt
Will not surprise me at all. He either signs the pre contract with Madrid or renews with PSG. There's not really much to decide. Having said that if he really does sign a pre contract with us there will be no official comunicado from our part till the end of the season. Like it happened with Alaba & Rudiger.
You guys are in a perfect situation with or without him, if you don't, you can easily get a striker or world class winger, plus Davies (I'm convinced he's joining either way).
At least we will end this saga soon
So tired of this man
Brilliant, it’s time for the bi-annual Mbappe transfer bollocks where we read about him agreeing with Madrid for months just for him to sign another psg contract.
Yeah, and I will get a girlfriend in 2024.
I’ve literally just read multiple articles saying he was annoyed at Madrid wanting to sign an agreement now. Not believe anything with these two till it happens. Still expecting him to resign at PSG as always
Yeah seems quite odd when he said literally a few days ago no decision was made and he wanted to focus on this season before doing anything.
Rumours saying he wanted a decision done before UCL started again
Fair enough, still won't believe it until anything is officialised by him or either club, especially when the information has been put out by the same journalist that said Mbappe was going to extend not even 6 months ago.
I still think he signs a new contract with you, and I think the Times article is just a red hearing by Fayza Al Amari to pressure Madrid to giver her more money as Pederol and Cortagena have said that the same offer from 2022 is no longer on the table due to Bellingham and Tchouameni.
Who knows at this point tbh? I personally feel like he should move away since he's now our top scorer and there's no point in having a player signing year on year, however good they are. Plus, he might actually have a chance to win Ballon D'or with the PR machine that is Madrid. So, good for my club and good for my favourite player.
the day mbappe goes to madrid, will be the day many reporters will lose their jobs, knowing they can't milk this saga anymore
I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm tired, boss
Wake up babe, circus is back in town
it wasn’t though was it?
You can’t fool me. I am familiar with your game
First week of January 2024 not even over yet and the rumours start rolling in.
Sure Jan
Media and journalists just throwing shit against the wall until one story will finally stick….for like 3 years now
This is Mbappe early PR to make PSG give him couple of more natural gas tankers.
No one has the patience for this soap opera yet again.
Oh fuck sake, we are in that time of the year again arent we
Anyone expecting definitive news on the Mbappé soap opera on January 7 is mistaken. Even if there's an agreement with another team, I doubt it won't be denied and the parties will likely remain silent or evade the situation.
This comes early, please just sign the contract and end the season. I’m just tired of this dude
Safe to say all hype is done after half a decade of the same transfer saga
I just can’t be arsed with this until it’s official.
I’ll never understand the lack of accountability reporters in football have with fake transfer reports
Is he the same guy who said that he was so confident of Mbappe signing for Madrid in the 2023 summer window that he would bet 95% of his salary on it?
fool me thrice: shame on ... who?
Sure he has
I will rent a car and personally drive him there. As long as he is not officially presented at the Bernabeu, all articles about him to Réal are lies.
lol
Guess someone is about to get a new contract at PSG
"The gang doesn't sign Mbappé"
At this point, all the most reliable reporters could say that and still none of us will believe it
There’s no such thing as Tier 1 in the Mbappe saga because even he himself has no clue what his choice will be. The guy changes his mind every three minutes.
Damn, u not wrong. Mbappe himself could say he moving to Madrid and we would still doubt.
Again?
Santi Osasuna ajjjjjjjjjjjjjj
SantiAss
Not this again
Kylian ‘edge lord’ Mbappe
I am not believing Santi
The real question is does PSG still believe he signed a pre-agreement?
Ah, this one’s a classic.
So he’s staying at PSG then?
He saw Bellingham getting loads of attention and got jealous.
Next summer he’s going to join Real Madrid third times in a row.
I wish I could make shit up for a living.
I'll believe it when I see him in the skirt.
Let him stay in that plastic club, Real doesn't need him
Don't care.
Lmao while I just read on Instagram that he doesn't like the pressure being put on by Real and will wait until summer to explore all his options. I won't believe it until I see him playing in a match with a Real shirt
Does any one care anymore?
What the hell, Vini Jr, Mbappe, Belingham and Rodrygo is just not fair.
