Only teams that can afford him are Real, Bayern(they won't), Man City(I doubt), Man U(he won't), PSG, or Saudi clubs(he already declined).
Liverpool or Chelsea could smash the wage packet I guess but it doesn't make sense for them, nor would Mbappe be interested.
All signs point to Real, re signing with PSG, or taking that Saudi money.
It’ll never happen but you cannot say Mbappe is not interested in joining Liverpool. There is no star player in the world who would ever discard the idea of playing for Jurgen Klopp without at least considering it.
Of course LFC have a proper wage structure so there’s no way but Klopp and Mbappe would go together like a horse and carriage as they say
Spurs could afford him, but won't spend - not that he would come to us. But then again he won't go to United either and they got a mention.
I remember it was the same logic with Kane last year. wHeRe wiLl hE Go?
Bayern can't afford him. Only the Oil clubs and Real Madrid can. This is where we are right now.
Ahem....last years top 5 wage bills.
1 of these clubs has no debt, 1 of them has a ridiculous amount of debt, 1 is in France with a 60%+ net tax rate.
I'll let you guess the other two.
He probably goes to Saudi. Nobody will meet his wage demands
Wage demands can easily be covered/countered by the signing on fee.
Even still. Saudi will dangle $5-10m a week in front of him. Would he even care about a CL for less than half or a quarter of that? Still going to start for France and they could get another WC or two before he’s done.
Mate you forgot to include newcastle there.
No chance. Guimaraes seems to be our highest earner on 160k - mbappe would be like 5 times that
The only reason for him to leave Paris, his childhood birthplace and club loaded with money, would be to leave for an iconic club. This is why he declined a billion from Saudi club, it is why he will never go to Newcastle.
For him there is no reason to join a Club like Newcastle.
Yup. He will be sold to a Saudi team so he can be paid 800k a week and then Loaned to Newcastle with a 5% wage contribution. lol joke of a league.
Newcastle is a dark horse candidate.
If interest in him dried up due to his demand, he would have very few choice. With Newcastle he gets to play in Europe with Saudi league wage premium.
And 'new money' clubs love to sign very high profile player as a statement. Similar to what Man City did with Robinho signing.
Being practically state owned they also have the mechanism to pay him big money while sidestepping FFP. An obvious one is being paid as the football ambassador for 2030 World Cup.
There are millions of reasons to join Newca$tle
Billions
