Football been dead for clubs outside the top 6 for years now. Newcastle is the next city. Let's just sit back and enjoy thr popcorn and watch the top clubs lose their best players over the next few years and watch football explode. It's been coming
I honestly don't get this line of thinking.
If he was starving to death then taking the money might be impossible to say no to, as it stands he makes a million a month and doesn't have to play in an awful league with increased levels of corruption and bigotry.
Depends how big the contract is, but I’m defo going there if I can make 20x the wage for one year. Who cares if it’s an awful league if you already know your next stop is Real Madrid. Players get serious injuries that put them out for 6-12 months plenty of time and their career isn’t over… think of it like that except he gets to keep playing football and earning a shed full of money

Of course it is, the world is driven by money greed and power and yes everything has a price.
Saudi are only doing (but on a bigger scale) what the PL have been doing for years flashing the cash to get the highest profile players.
I don't believe it will take off regardless of how much they throw at it.
China tried it and failed and i believe the same will happen here.
I would care, marco silva obviously cares. Its a short career and incredibly hard to get to the top. That year out will be something he can't get back.
He has already earned generational wealth, when is enough enough that you don't just become a slave to it?

I wouldn’t say spending 9 months of your life playing football in a crap league is being a slave but to each their own, it’s a personal decision
Sadly, money talks and drives many people. Those with immense wealth often want to grow their immense wealthier even more - it's like an addiction so to speak.
As you say, he's not even your typical top tier professional footballer: he's earned mega bucks from a very young age and will continue to do so at PSG or Real.
If he goes there, it's pure greed and shows more about his overall motives rather than any love for the game. Look at the current contract impasse...
... look at how he's built a situation at PSG where he had a huge hand in the club's running. If he gets big money and big power, I think he will take it.
In reality, he could easily come to the PL or La Liga on a very lucrative deal to play at the highest level, but is that what the real driving force in his career?
Does anybody know how much money is in the kitty on the RS go fund me page for Mbappe as with the Saudis offering 259 million for him the lovables may need to take another look at the back of couch
I said a slave to wealth, as in all your actions are dictated and controlled by whatever brings you the most wealth
He wants Madrid though, so.why bother looking at what the PL can offer, who will want to tie him down for 5 years.
It looks like his option is, take the deal for a year, or stay at home and twiddle your thumbs.
Your gonna take the deal. Unless he says no, and Madrid go to PSG here is £10m. We will take him off your hands and you your save paying about £50m in wages to someone who is not doing anything for it.
I bet its a discussion in the background.
PSG can say they want to sell him all they like, they can't make him actually sign a contract with a club

There's absolutely no chance at all of any club in world football throwing £1b at Mbappe for one year. Madrid aren't going to pay £250m for him next year, and the Saudi club won't offer a one year contract. If his dream is to play for Madrid, he's going to have to reject Saudi and sit on the bench all season in Paris.
