sushimonster85 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Anyone else heard they're looking to offer him just a 1 year deal worth 700m Euro's?? Basically willing to pay 1b in total to have Mbappe in the league for a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 This Mbappe deal (if it happens) will be the last straw for UEFA. They will need to do something quickly to stop their precious Champions League assests from leaving. It's not going to be long now until FFP gets scrapped. Which obviously would be great news for us and 7 other teams in the Prem but not so good for the other 12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Short term that would be great news for us but long term I think it would be the next step to a super League. Or maybe SA reach out to the 12 clubs and say they are willing to join them and stuff Uefa! Similar to what they did with the Golf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, this needs to force UEFA's hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Saudi buying its way into the CL, but I also see the ESL clubs kicking off over it. Perhaps instead the super league will be resurrected but with Saudi financing and Saudi clubs involved.

The College Dropout Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Mbappe going to Saudi would fundamentally change football in Europe. I think international recognition is one thing that holds back SA league. As in, players in that division will be overlooked for their national teams - particularly some of the older players and the players on the cusp. That's a big reason Diaby joined Villa - he'll not play for France while in the SA league. But Mbappe joining? It changes so much. As you say, what stops Saudi from creating an international Champions League? I don't think it's a net positive for us. We become irrelevant if the SA league becomes relevant.

TheHoob Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Football has been fucked for years, it just looks like it's going to get fucked in a way that is less favourable to the established European teams. Personally think that Saudi can throw as much money as they like at it, people won't be that interested. The second most famous player in the world went there and as far as I can tell no one gave a fuck about the actual football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Toodle-loo FFP. There is no way the European clubs watch the best players leave due to self-imposed rules. Having said that, you can’t make the maths fit re Mbappe. This isn’t about value, it’s about geopolitics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could create their own international club competition. Invite clubs from all around the world. ESL 12 or whatever from Europe. 4 From SA. 2 From South America. 2 from elsewhere. Whatever. But they can do their own thing like Golf. There's no reason the "UEFA Champions League" has to be the default premier club competition in the world. It's just that Europe has had all the money.
