Saudi Team Offering $1.1B for Mbappé

The Saudis and other teams from the ME are trying to buy something that even their riches can't reach.

Club love and loyalty.

They'll never be able to capture that. They could have Ronaldo playing next to a resurrected Pele and soccer fans still won't have anything more than a passing interest in watching it, but if their local club team plays a friendly against a 3rd division farmer's league pub team they will tune in. Ronaldo could score a hat trick in the Saudi Cup final and maybe we'll watch the highlights, but if the 3rd player off my club's bench scores against our derby rival we will write a fan song about him and sing it for years.

No PSG fan will follow Mbappe and buy an Al Hilal Nasser Khaled whatever jersey and wear it out in Paris, but they would tattoo his face to their neck if he won PSG the champions league.

So let them overpay for guys, new heroes will emerge. Liverpool fans will stop singing about Jordan Henderson and find someone else to love who wears their colors.
 
NGL it would be hard to say no. I would then take a bunch of that money and invest in EV and green energy firms.
The rumor is he doesn’t want anything to do with them, but I bet he is definitely thinking it over.
 
I mean, if was offered 3/4 of a billion dollars I would think it over too.
The guy is also going to kill it moneywise in whatever he decides. He doesn’t have to worry about money the rest of his life either way.
 
This is a win win for everyone. Saudis get their guy. Mbappe gets paid. PSG gets paid (they’re selling Mbappe regardless), and Mbappe gets to go to Real Madrid on free transfer next summer.

But sounds like Mbappe doesn’t want to play in SA.
 
I would be investing my money like Hunter Biden.

And you only have to be there a year. 3/4 of a billion is a lot of money even on a 10 year deal. But Christ Almighty, for 12 months of work?

Sign the deal and work on your exit plan after one year.
He would literally run circles around everyone there. It would be worse than what Messi did to Atlanta last night.
