It is one year that will set up his grandkid's grandikids and then he will just move to Real Madrid. Would be shocked if he said no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Makes you wonder what PIF would spend on us if they had no FFP to get around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) 4D chess moment here, could this will be a PIF ploy to get UEFA and the Premier League to scrap FFP, to help us dominate for decades, as someone has said the last thing The PL and UEFA want is the cash cow stars driving off into the Saudi sunset Edited July 24, 2023 by nufcnick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Interesting that the Qataris would accept a bid from the Saudis. May not have happened at all several years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 So they're offering him a one year deal? Or is that essentially a loan fee and his contract would remain with PSG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 25 minutes ago, timeEd32 said: Agreed, there was an interview not long ago where the UEFA president laughed at a question about being concerned with what Saudi Arabia is doing. That's a dangerous attitude to be sharing openly. The one thing that may keep the Saudis at bay is FIFA clearly wants to elevate the Club World Cup and Saudi Arabia's end game (presumably) is to host a World Cup, so they need to keep FIFA on their side (not to mention the pull UEFA has with FIFA). There's no doubt going to be some interesting backroom dealing happening here. Saudi Arabia (and potentially other non-European nations / confederations) conspiring with FIFA to make the Club World Cup bigger than the Champions League seems like one potential path. Hosting a World Cup is short-sighted. The end game should be to have the premier club competition. If not the Saudi league, a competition involving Saudi teams. Logistics limits the wider appeal of a club world cup. It has to be in the summer or winter but that's a short amount of time. But i think that could be a short-term measure. La Liga already plays a Super Cup competition in KSA. Why not have another small competition with the Saudi teams during Christmas + the La Liga teams? Then slowly expand that competition. I think the end game is a year-round competition involving Saudi teams that runs alongside domestic league competitions. I think that starts with changing the Spanish Super Cup to include KSA teams.

midds Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Sounds like everyone wins. PSG get a massive lumper, Real still get him for free next summer, Mbappe hits the jackpot and still gets his Real move in 12 months and the Saudis get one of the biggest names in the business. For all of those reasons it'll probably happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 1 hour ago, NobbySolano said: Its the opposite actually. Ask the PGA how that worked out. For those that dont know the background. PIF just wanted to be involved, get some recognition (and btw thats all they want, respect. Money they already have). PGA told them to fuck off. Several times. PIF went and created LIV and now they own their ass - its an embarrassment how poorly it was managed. if UEFA is presented with a viable option to include PIF, share in the money, and keep them as minority players then they should do it. Because if PIF gets told to fuck off they will find a way to destroy UEFA or take it over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Wonder if Liverpool and Spurs are ok with the transfer fee, need to make sure of that first, could end any deal if they're at all irritated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Am I the only one thinking he's not actually that good ? I mean compared to prime Ronaldo (both) or Messi types. Edited July 24, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I mean he's one of the best players in the world currently, I get that. I don't find him particularly likeable but whatever. Is he really that good though? I don't even think he cracks my historical top 20 personally, very subjective though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure something longer sustaining is in mind, but there's no bigger event than the World Cup and the fact a smaller Middle East country hosted it first probably annoys them. They will want to be the showcase of the world for a month and then continue building from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I have a preference for artistic, truly creative players of yesteryear, rather than these video-game-fast types of the modern game.

Jaqen Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He's clearly brilliant like. Using Messi and Ronaldo as a yardstick to measure others by seems a bit harsh There's fair chance we won't say players of that level again in our lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
