Oh shit. Reportedly he’s getting €100 million a year for 3 years and a €300 million signing bonus as well as the ability to choose who the manager is.

El Chiringuito is gonna be something to behold

Tebas in the mud :messenger_tears_of_joy: I find PSG’s wage bill and attitude to transfers pretty distasteful, and I’m a City fan. But La Liga and that fat cunt can get to fuck.

Also Mbappé will have power over current and future players contracts.
PSG are really destroying themselves giving all that power to one player. The money does not matter to PSG but they should be prepared for other current and future players to get contracts on or close to Mbappé money.
The length of the contract is also weird, it is not short term to be taken as cash grab to then move out but also not long term to be taken that he is fully committed to PSG future. If this is what he got now what's more he will ask for in 3 years?
Thinking about it 3 years, Perez have flirted with retiring completely after his current term so maybe Mbappé plan is to wait until Perez is retired then he think he can get the next president to let all this slide and sign him (or at least chase him).
Perez will never call Mbappé again, and I agree that the door should be forever closed for Mbappé as soon as he signed any type of contract with PSG .

Mbappe cucked Real.

I think we will use the money we saved for him wisely and come out of all this better over all, will be strengthening multiple positions with multiple top talent with the money that would have gone to Mbappé.

Hating Tebas is fine many do hate him, why do you hate La Liga though? :pie_thinking:

I don’t mean the actual teams in the league sorry, just the administrative organisation that Tebas is running - similar to how Richard Masters ‘runs’ the Premier League. I probably should have just said ‘fuck Tebas’ to be fair.

You are not alone in hating Tebas many do hate him in Spain actually.

Wonder where Poch will go? The top 6 in the Premier League all have world class managers.

Italy or Spain, none of the top Spanish clubs are in need. Italy, I’m not sure.

Maybe he’ll take a 12 month sabbatical so he can see where things stand next summer?

[OFFICIAL] Kylian Mbappe extends with PSG until 2025



I think this should be posted.
With Mbappé new powers at the club I hope he's prepared to shoulder the blame for any PSG failures from this point forward.

[Romano] Kylian Mbappé: “I’m really happy to continue the adventure here at Paris Saint-Germain. To stay in Paris, my city”. “I hope that I will continue to do what I prefer to with you all… and win titles together! Thanks a lot”.



Have fun Mbappé.

IF Conte get sacked then Spurs, otherwise maybe a mid-tale club or a club hovering right below the top clubs so he can rebuild his own brand as a competent manager again.

With Dortmund firing Rose I could see Poch being a good fit there.

Mbappé having so much power is going to be a mess

The whole thing stinks of desperation
His deal is only for 3 years as well. So once it's up do they offer him even more to renew? If you're Messi, or Neymar and Sergio Ramos for that matter, how are you going to feel about a 23 year old having that much power over your career? The whole thing seems like it's going to blow up in PSG's face so badly. But PSG can fuck off, so it should be funny to watch. It'll be amazing if they still don't manage to win a Champions League after those 3 years. And in some ways this does make it less likely. They put a huge amount of money into building a dream attacking lineup, but it made their team unbalanced. So now their response is to sink even more money into that attack just to maintain it.

Son top scorer in the best league in the world but still won't get any respect. Zero ego, top work ethic and world class player, yet no teams ever talk about wanting to sign him.

What's even more impressive about that stat is that none of his goals are penalties. I would take him anyday at Chelsea, but not only would Levy never sell to us, I think just about any attacker in the PL besides those from Norwich would get into our starting XI.

I think Son is hugely respected in England - I’d have loved him at City but he’s signed a long term contract with Spurs and seems happy there.

Really thought after our luck with strikers that we couldn't fail with Lukaku, yeah he wasn't AMAZING for United but he still had a respectable record of 28 goals in 66 appearances, but no he just hasn't clicked at all with our system.

I think it isn't all his fault, our system relies on pressing rather than the style Conte utilised that allowed Lukaku to kind of hover around the upper third of the pitch or drop deep when he wanted to gather the ball with fast inside forwards and wingbacks hugging the touchline, allowing him the space needing and vital crosses to make the most of.

Chelsea play a far narrower pressing game which simply isn't suited for him, he does want to stay and fight for his place and maybe a whole summer of training and tactical lessons from TT can help, but I feel like we really should sign a forward in the summer.

My personal pick would be Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo, he is very similar to Harry Kane in how he can chase dead balls, press up the pitch, as well as cleverly find space in the channels and inbetween the lines with his positioning, he can also drop deep and build up on his own which is something we lack.

There is a very small chance that Mbappé manage the club better :messenger_tears_of_joy:
I'm really interested to see how this go for PSG, if it goes bad though it will go REALLY bad for them.

Eat shit intermerda

Milan fan? congrats for winning the league :messenger_beaming:

Thanks, City.
Perfect treble still belong to one team in pl :messenger_winking_tongue:

If Manchester City win the UCL then they will be most likely running to win a triple too I think and they win in England a lot so every year is really a potential year for them to win a triple.

PL is just different. One Point between Championship and second place

If you are a betting person it is the easiest to bet on, every year just bet on Manchester City to win it and you will win 4/5 times (in other words 80% winning chance) :pie_thinking:
Before Manchester City dominating in England it was Manchester United that you always bet on to win it and you will over all come out winner :messenger_beaming:

Son top scorer in the best league in the world but still won't get any respect. Zero ego, top work ethic and world class player, yet no teams ever talk about wanting to sign him.

Spurs fan? congrats for clinching the UCL spot :messenger_beaming:
I'll be honest I don't think he can get the same numbers in La Liga or Serie A, I think he can do it in Bundesliga because of how open the Bundesliga is though :pie_thinking:
In Ligue 1 he will get hacked to pieces I think, they are ruthless there :pie_thinking:

What's even more impressive about that stat is that none of his goals are penalties. I would take him anyday at Chelsea, but not only would Levy never sell to us, I think just about any attacker in the PL besides those from Norwich would get into our starting XI.

Offer Levy a swap deal, Lukaku to reunite with Conte so he can perform and you get Son. I think Levy will ask for 150 million on top though :messenger_tears_of_joy:

[Di Marzio] After Leonardo's departure, PSG wanted Antero Henrique back as sporting director. But he did not want to leave his prestigious role in Qatar. Instead, Luis Campos is very close to joining PSG. Campos maintains an excellent relationship with Mbappe from his Monaco days.

Carvalho transfer is complete. Joins Liverpool after transfer window opens. I haven't seen the kid play, which means that I have no opinion of this transfer for the time being. But the scouting team seems to be doing a good job on the transfer market, so who am I to question their judgement?

As someone who has seen him live 6+ times this season with my uncle (he's a Fulham season ticket holder), you are getting a very good player with buckets of talents who plays at a level of maturity well beyond his age, he has that raw X factor that only the top talents have.

And as someone who follows Championship football avidly for scouting work I do, he's hands down one of the most exciting talents to come out of the league in years.

I'm a Marseille fan, but I'll take the congrats for the UCL qualification just the same.

In the PL I've supported Man Utd since I was a little kid because I was a Cantona fan. I am a fan of Son and Kane though and I'm glad they'll be playing in the UCL .

Marseille nice, congrats on the UCL spot :messenger_beaming:
Since you are a Marseille fan how do you feel about the rumors about Zidane to PSG?
Personally I don't think it will happen because Zidane will never accept being under the authority of any player and also because he can't be bought with money, in fact he will leave money on the table if he does not like how things are handled.
By the way any thoughts on the Mbappé circus? :pie_thinking:

Manchester United, they will either shape up and win the EL next season or crash out in a funny way.
Kane and Son due in the UCL, they can do damage but I feel Spurs as a whole will have to get used to and apply Conte tactics if they want to go anywhere next season.

Also how do you feel about the downsizing of Ligue 1 to 18 teams?

In the PL I've supported Man Utd since I was a little kid because I was a Cantona fan.
I see you're a man of fine taste.

That flying jump kick into the crowd will the among the first things people remember about Cantona :messenger_tears_of_joy:

[Maik Bartel, former agent of Robert Lewandowski]: Your whole life you wanted a transfer to Real Madrid just to end up at Barcelona? Ok



I just find this funny how the former agent is exposing the new agent and Lewa current circus about his dreams and wanting to play for Barcelona :messenger_tears_of_joy:
For the record I think Lewa can go where ever he wants and this matter will be resolved based on if Barcelona are willing to pay a tranfer fee that Bayern find acceptable, otherwise he's staying put for at least one more season.

[AS] Courtois on Ramos's goal: He played a lot of jokes on me the first 2-3 years. Every time we played the Champions League, Real Madrid TV showed the Lisbon final... Maybe we were in the massage room with the physios , they showed the goal and he came to tell me: 'Take that Tibu!'"

Matt Law (Tier One Chelsea - The Telegraph)

Jules Kounde is expected to join Chelsea in the summer as Tuchel collates an 8 man shortlist to replace the two outgoing defenders in Rudiger and Christensen.

Other CB Targets include - Josko Gvardiol, Pau Torres, Jose Gimenez.

Chelsea also will target Raheem Sterling if they manage to sell one of Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic or Hakim Ziyech.

Chelsea may also target a central midfielder if one of Jorginho or Kante is sold.

Lukaku will hold talks with Tuchel over his future, Tuchel will allow Marcos Alonso to move to Barcelona if they meet club's valuation.

New contracts to be offered to Mason Mount, Reece James and potentially Edouard Mendy.
