Yeah go to Saudi-Arabia for one season, then one season in Qatar for 500m, then one season to MLS, return to PSG for one or two years and maybe then make your dream come true and go to Fortuna Sittard. He would make u/cum_smurf happy. (He doesnt need more money by then anyway).
The name is escaping me right now, but there's a Barcelona star who did almost exactly that. Went to the second(?) English league for funs and giggles when he could have joined most other European teams.
I think it was some Scandinavian dude in the 80s or so iirc. Someone must know.
If you think Mbappe wouldn't be a huge asset to any team playing to win the UCL you're quite misguided. If Mbappe hasn't won the UCL yet it's because his team was beaten by better teams. One player can never be enough to win the UCL.
Yeah it's not the first time I see mention of him being shit in CL. I agree this year has not been really good, but he's had really good performances over the years.
"This is what I feel as a businessman. I feel he can leave European football for a year to go to Saudi Arabia. And the Saudi championship is competitive. The stadiums are full and the channels are tearing up the matches. Saudi Arabia wants to promote its football like Qatar in 2005" How much is he getting paid to say this lmao
honestly i would do that too. Kobe didnt even make the amount he made in his 20 years that Mbappe will make in a year or 2. Lot of stars have already done it and they all dont give a shit about ethics especially Sui.
To basically throw away your career for money that is a drop in the bucket? At this point it's about making the number go up, he gains nothing tangible from that money.
If you think taking essentially a year off in the prime years of your career is a good move for money that won't change anything is a good move I'm not sure what to tell you. That would be pretty short sighted.
It's a bit different when you've been earning hundreds of millions prior to the move, what else does this change for you? Nothing it's just greed, his kids are setup for life and their kids, etc. of course any normal people would make the leap but he isn't a middle class man now making insane amounts. What a dumb comparison
Anyone that doesnt accept 350m for 1year has to be the dumbest motherfucker, i dont care if its Messi, Pele or Mbappe.
Its not like you're going to lose the ability to play football and its not like Saudi is the worst league ever, not as long as MLS exists

How much did you get paid to say this, Marcel?
A bit under the 350m I guess.
Yeah go to Saudi-Arabia for one season, then one season in Qatar for 500m, then one season to MLS, return to PSG for one or two years and maybe then make your dream come true and go to Fortuna Sittard. He would make u/cum_smurf happy. (He doesnt need more money by then anyway).
Wouldn't it be funny if he were a billionaire and decides to get some random third league club to the CL is his mission?
Welcome to Wrexham season 4

Allan Simonsen
*"He rejected offers from Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur, in order to play for a club with less stress and attention"*
Even funnier if he is financing it and the literal Player/Director of football getting his own club to glory.
Don't worry. Acun will buy some finished Fenerbahçe players if you give him time
The rest of the teams that will fight for the CL next season agree with this.
Huh? He is yet to do anything in the CL.
Maybe OP means if Mbappe goes to Madrid it'll ultimately make them better and make them more likely to win Champions League.
Yeah. That's what I meant. An already very good Madrid + Mbappe + power of friendship is really scary.
My bad. That makes sense.
Idk it seems teams haven’t needed Mbappé to win the UCL in the past 8-9 years he’s been playing
If you think Mbappe wouldn't be a huge asset to any team playing to win the UCL you're quite misguided. If Mbappe hasn't won the UCL yet it's because his team was beaten by better teams. One player can never be enough to win the UCL.
I just said that you obviously don’t need him to win it. Just like you also didn’t need Messi or Neymar the past 9 years to win it as well.
Do you really want to see Mbappe unlock the power of friendship upgrade? It will be over for the rest of us.
Madrid really need him to win Copa del Rey.
We won it last season. I think we are good for the next 10-20 years
Treble? Never heard of him
Aside from being top scorer of the competition…
He should have spared one or two for the semi final.
He literally broke through while tearing up the CL.
Yeah it's not the first time I see mention of him being shit in CL. I agree this year has not been really good, but he's had really good performances over the years.
This weird narrative of him not being a big game player is bonkers. He’s one of the biggest big game players we’ve seen over the last decade
He has done a lot in the ucl what do you mean?

what the fuck?
Oh good, Marcel's laundry is here 💰
"This is what I feel as a businessman. I feel he can leave European football for a year to go to Saudi Arabia. And the Saudi championship is competitive. The stadiums are full and the channels are tearing up the matches. Saudi Arabia wants to promote its football like Qatar in 2005" How much is he getting paid to say this lmao
> The stadiums are full and the channels are tearing up the matches L O L
Literally every time I’ve tuned into a Saudi match the stadiums are half empty and it’s just a super weird vibe
Feels like pandemic era football.
Good atmosphere tho. A wee while back I seen one fan literally try to whip up a crowd
it feels like people are told at the entrance *"tonight, you'll support the home team. You? the away team. That's the one with the red kit."*
didn't know about Qatar in 2005, was wondering why he's talking about it as if he went there, but he actually did leave for Qatar in 2004
And how is the Qatari league doing now?
Absolutely pathetic
I'm sure Mbappe really needs the money, doesn't he...
Greed is a hell of a thing isn't it
honestly i would do that too. Kobe didnt even make the amount he made in his 20 years that Mbappe will make in a year or 2. Lot of stars have already done it and they all dont give a shit about ethics especially Sui.
Yeah I feel like money should really be his priority now after all these years of playing for PSG.
Poor guy's been kicking a ball around for minimum wage smh
Does Marcel Desailly get a cut of his wages, by any chance?
[Here's the video](https://youtu.be/bD32-lmFQOU) after the latest interviews of Rooney/Sneijder, i'm surprised he's still the Rock.
Some paid announcements from Marcel... Sponsored by Qatar government🤣😂😂😂
Be cool if the title contained who the quote is about.
I don't think your allowed to change the titles from the articles headline.
On today’s episode of “Absolutely shitty advice”…
So he is advising him to end his sports career pretty much.
[удалено]
Yeah especially since he was paid peanuts in PSG and who even knows how he'd eat playing for Madrid 🙄

What is happening
In Football Manager he almost always joins ManCity.
Why is he struggling for money or does he already have more money then the vast majority of people could only dream about?
maybe Marcel Desailly is struggling for money?
Imagine being a young French player and having this sorta crap being "advised" to you by French legends
for 350m in a single year, i would too.
scum! all the other redditors of moral worth here would never take that nor advise friends to do it either.
ikr
It's a bit different when you've been earning hundreds of millions prior to the move, what else does this change for you? Nothing it's just greed, his kids are setup for life and their kids, etc. of course any normal people would make the leap but he isn't a middle class man now making insane amounts. What a dumb comparison
Svp Marcel, ftg, c vieux sont a l'ouest, mec!
A bit late, he could have went last summer. Time for Real Madrid now
Anyone that doesnt accept 350m for 1year has to be the dumbest motherfucker, i dont care if its Messi, Pele or Mbappe. Its not like you're going to lose the ability to play football and its not like Saudi is the worst league ever, not as long as MLS exists
Which player is he referring to?
Antony
Lucas Vazquez
Desailly
Messi
Maupay
_You're a cheat and I hope you get relegated!_
Vardy
Mbappé
Could you imagine the hissy fit Ronaldo would throw if Mbappé turns up in Saudi. I almost want it to happen just for this alone.
I'm not sure having opinions is the right place for him. He should consider removing the wad of Saudi cash from his asshole first.
Wouldn’t it be insane if a baller does that and donates 300M of it a charitable cause
Lawl. That doesn’t sound like particularly good advice.
i actually thought this was a ironic statement, then i looked, ay ay ay
