    lol the english are really, really butthurt. Constantly crying in the media about the saudi league. They are "destroying the game" :56:

    The best part have not yet begun. That part is when all the arab investors in the EPL ditch the english league for the Saudi one, leaving the EPL clubs going bust. FIFA will most likely intervene soon though.

    That is crazy figures.

    €300m to PSG for a player in the last year of their deal and looking to leave for free? I am sure questions about avoiding financial fair play will be asked of PSG.

    Don’t agree with that, who else could he have gone to to try win the CL and get more cash? He’s French, at the best French club, and psg have underperformed for years…only now is he looking for an out as they’re a mess and he can’t see them winning it. Madrid was all but set, and al hilal have come out of nowhere with what is an unbelievable offer, sport in general has never seen before

    is that correct? Basically 1 billion euros between fee and Salary…. For a YEAR ???

    Why bother with Real Madrid after that? Unless he wants to buy the club.

    It’s utterly depressing considering the stuff going in at home and throughout the world.

    They may well be asked but they'll be swatted away just like always. Chelsea, Man City and PSG have made a mockery of any supposed financial fair-play in European football and I despise every one of them.

    Imagine turning them down when they are offering probably 25x what he'd get at another team.

    Be like Callum McGregor turning down £750k a week.

    You think Mbappe hasn't got that money already? Look Im really not getting into it.. the entire Saudi league is * disgusting mate. Not the only culprits in fairness. Not that it will make a difference but I won't be watching one minute of it
