Yes one of the best strikers in the last decade, many clubs have visited the Colombian striker such as ATM, As Monaco, Man United, Chelsea. I no longer followed his progress after he left Chelsea and returned to AS Monaco. Entering the age of 37, I think it is very suitable to join an SPL club considering the competition is easy and the salary is big. A fortune to enjoy some time before actually retiring.

It would be a surprise if the transfer were successful, it would add a line-up of former European stars to the SPL. Maybe there will be more surprises until the transfer market actually closes.

Radamel Falcao is totally off the rails if I remember correctly. He didn't do very well for Rayo Vallecano and the last time his performances were ok was for Galatasaray Istanbul. I am a bit surprised that this is a topic and if this deal will come to fruition. I think nobody is really that excited about it anymore when he plays (he was amazing for Atletico in the old days), but for him it's crazy if suddenly the Saudi clubs are trying to get him and make him so much richer than ever before. But I don't think he will earn like 50 million per year. it is probably more around 15 million, but for him it is ok as he is not wasting any of his important years in his career.

It has been a long time since last time i hear his name. Finally, saudi club was interesting to sign him as a new player. I hope he will come to the saudi pro league. He was an amazing player when he was still playing with atletico madrid.
Glad to see that saudi wanna try to bring back the old memories of him to be a part of saudi pro league soon. My guess if he is gonna accept saudi's offer easily without the need to consider it.

In as much as many footballers now play football for the financial package that comes with it rather than the passion for the beautiful game unlike how it used to be in the past, I don't think a young football superstar with such great football potentials like Kylian Mbappe will agree to leave European football now to join the Saudi Arabian League just because of the fact that they offered him the most lucrative football deal in history.
Mbappe I'm sure knows that no matter how hard the Saudi League tries to buy quality football with money, it can never equal European football in the next 5 years. Unless he wants to be remembered by the mouthwatering wages he got from football than the trophies and accolades he won, Kylian Mbappe has no business with the Saudi League at this time of his career

Yes Sir, considering him situation it is likely that Mbappe will not sign a new contract with PSG. But unfortunately Sir, at the moment there is no latest news from Real Madrid, they are still cold about signing Mbappe and it doesn't seems ike it will not happen Mbappe play for Real Madrid.  By the way, there are other rumors around Mbappe, reportedly that man's family supports Mbappe going to Saudi. If Mbappe really plays in this league, then of course this league will be even bigger considering that guy also has a lot of fans. But that's still just a rumors, there's still the possibility of a club in Europa recruiting him.

Well, about this one, I also read a lot of news about several Real Madrid players who think that the club doesn't need to rush to bring in a player like Mbappe, who is expected to fill the void in attack left by Benzema. One player who is always associated with this is Vinicius Jr. But Vinicius Jr. did not directly hinder Real Madrid, it's just that this player seems confident to fill the place left by Benzema. And I think Vinicius Jr is indeed a player who has proven his quality which is getting better and sharper in attack. It continues to grow rapidly. Even last season he often replaced Benzema because last season Benzema was often injured. And Vinicius Jr. can always replace him well on the pitch.

But I don't think the Real Madrid coach has the same thoughts as Vinicius Jr. The coach actually really hopes to bring in the world's best striker as soon as possible. At the beginning of the transfer market, Real Madrid targeted Harry Kane but then gave up. And it was followed by the news that Mbappe would soon be brought in but it turned out that there had been no progress so far. In fact, the latest news says that Real Madrid wants to postpone until Mbappe is on a free transfer next season. Well I think about Real Madrid now it's starting to confuse me a little bit. But Mbappe who is in a difficult position also makes me a little curious about what the result will be. Has Mbappe decided to extend the contract. or he has to go to a club that dares to make up for his very high transfer fee. And Al-Hilal is now really serious about his high bid. This makes me a little scared that Mbappe is really leaving European football.

I hate to say this but, Kylian Mbappe will be missed if he leaves for Saudi Arabia. A youngin and he controls the market, it's exciting to see. I think since no European side can match his demands personally of from Paris Saint Germans, it'll be best if he leaves completely, stay a year and make move to the desired club next season.

Why would Real Madrid players do such? I don't think that's correct. They have no business with the Management signing a player it's either they get along with no the player or leave the club entirely for good   Kylian Mbappe should have accepted Real Madrid last season, if he did all of these wouldn't have happened. But then, mistakes have been made its high time he moves on and stops second guessing himself for the way forward.

It all started with the maneuvers of the Arab prince, namely Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, who bought 4 major Arab clubs, namely Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad, all of which were managed under strong finances from Public Investment. Fund (PIF) which does have a large amount of budget to invest in sports, especially football. Everything has changed there, even in terms of culture and habits, there have also begun to be a little change in daily life. Not only in the world of football, but in other matters there is also progressing rapidly, even women there are now being given better freedom to innovate and have a career. earlier Arab women were not even allowed to drive private cars (correct me if I'm wrong). But now women there are also allowed to drive their own private car. The bottom line is that Arab countries have changed a lot today. So do not be surprised if the world of football there will be more advanced and advanced from year to year.

Last year we were shocked by the purchase of CR7 by Al-Nassr. and now there is other exciting news regarding Al-Hilal who has made a high offer to bring in Mbappe. Although this one might be difficult to implement. But at least currently the 4 clubs under Public Investment Fund (PIF) ownership have each succeeded in bringing in Europe's top players. And until now it is still active in the transfer market to bring in more European stars.
Because even the policy of the PIF seems to have given the 4 clubs the freedom to bring in more top European players and not have to worry about the budget. because maybe PIF doesn't limit the budget to buy players for these clubs.

Mbappe is faced with a difficult choice at the moment and if he doesn't accept an offer from Saudi Arabia then Mbappe should sign a multi-year contract extension for PSG in a new clause if I'm not mistaken. PSG took advantage of this opportunity so that Mbappe would not go on a free transfer next season and conditions like this are indeed very complicated because Mbappe does not plan to play in the Saudi Arabian league, especially in the previous transfer market, Mbappe played Real Madrid and chose to extend his contract with PSG.

Several Real Madrid players also rejected Mbappe's arrival to the team and at this time Real Madrid would not be able to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu with such a large contract price so delays could happen again. Especially in the previous transfer market, Mbappe played Real Madrid, who had prepared everything, but Mbappe chose to extend his contract with PSG.

Maybe their oil reserves will soon run out and try alternative football as a source of state income. In addition, I have heard about Saudi Arabia's vision that wants to be the center of the world ahead of the United States. They are building a superpower in the football section. It had started when Ronaldo chose to fly there at the end of retirement age. In the local media I read According to him, Saudi Arabian clubs buy star players with the aim of sportswashing or cleaning the country's image through sports. Rumors are widely circulated because of human rights violations committed by Mohammed bin Salman.

Does anyone still remember Radamel Falcao? yes he is a former player from Chelsea and also Manchester United who is now defending a team in La Liga, namely Rayo Vallecano. For a veteran player, you could say he is in his retirement age and maybe this could be his new adventure if he later joins a Saudi league team. Currently there are reportedly negotiations to be able to bring Radamel Falcao to the Saudi league and he is one of the players who is the next target to enliven the Saudi league.

I think now they want to introduce themselves to the world. Not only that they are also making new plans to increase their income. Such a picture has never been seen before in Muslim countries. However, since the last World Cup in Qatar, a lot of changes have been noticed in Saudi football. They are now a well-known country in the world of football and currently more focused on finding players than money. They are offering them with maximum budget to buy a good player. There is no difficulty in understanding that they are now planning for the long term with football.

This news was the welcome one by the Saudi football players and football fans of all over the world.Because this should be taken as the good example and all the football based countries should help their football team.Last year Al-lttihad was the winner of the league,Al-Nassr was the runner up of 2022-2023.Al-Hilal was the key player of the league,they had won the title over 18 times and Runner up 16.So totally,the Al-Hilal went to final total of 34 times out of 48 times.This was big achievement by the Al-Hilal in the Saudi Professional League 2023-24.We can’t say they buying all football players from Europe are most talented.

Mbappe was the youngest player of the league belong to the Hilal and I don’t think they will release Mbappe to Saudi league.Since Mbappe was 24 years,I had carrier over 6-11 years based on his health and performance. Mbappe get the offer of 332 million per year was huge offer to him,but the decision is based on his own opinion.If he accepted the offer,he can earn huge money from this.This money is enough for Mbappe to get settle after the game of football.

That was how Chelsea and PSG flooded the market with money in time past until financial regulation rules were put in place. The Saudi Professional League is not limited by any financial laws so they can buy players at any rate. But I think Fifa should come up with a regulation that will control the amount clubs spend on players because much spending will affect clubs that are not financially buoyant. These low-income clubs might not be able to afford players because of the inflated prices.

This is not a bad suggestion if the Saudi bases club accepts the offer. But the problem with this is that Al Halil will also add a high release clause to cover their expenses. But if the club accepts to let him leave after one year without placing a huge transfer clause, it will be a good decision. But we cannot predict how the single season will turn out. Injuries, loss of forms, and other uncertainties could affect Mbappe's performance.

But money is always the yardstick as it is relative for everyone at any point their lives with whatever wealth they have. If Mbappe is offered 100 million a year, he would stay or go to Real Madrid. 200 million? 300 million?

I think for every human being money can change the list of priorities.That is why you can never say or ask what somebody wants without considering the money that is involved. New opportunities can evolve and replace an item on the priority list.

Yes he wants to build a career, but did he ever in his life anticipate that an offer will be lying in front of him offering him 700 million for a single year? He wouldn't even lose reputation in my opinion or followers or anything. Some think he will disappear if he is gone for one year, but no he won't disappear. How many people would want to know how Mbappe is doing when he comes back after one year? Nobody knows what the SPL plan is anyway. What if they build the strongest league in the world purely with money? There is already a plan that the SPL will invest tens of billions of dollars until 2030. I don't know if it makes sense to speculate about what will happen to Mbappe in one or two years from now when we can see on a daily basis how fast things can change because of money.

I think he can go to Saudi Arabia for a year and go to Real Madrid at the end of the year. There is no harm in this in terms of career. Mbappe is only 24 years old and still has great career potential. I'm sure Real will want to buy him again after playing in the Saudi Arabian league for a year. In this sense, it can be a very profitable deal.

Yesterday, I saw news on the TV, that the Saudi Arabian sports ministry will give Saudi football clubs approximately 19 billion dollars in the form of subsidies, so that the football clubs could buy world class players from Europe. Is this true?
It seems that the Saudi professional league will completely destroy football, by flooding it with money. "Football inflation" was a thing in the past 10 years, and now it's getting ridiculous. I'm sure that we will be witnessing the first football player, who costs 1 billion dollars in the next one or two years(this might not be Mbappe). This is totally absurd. Can't FIFA just step in and do something about this?

I just came across this now and it is such an interesting thing to read up on. This Public Investment Fund, I learned is valued at over $600 billion. And they have been investing billions in various sports ventures which includes buying Newcastle United Football Club for $408 million and backing the Breakaway Golf League. Like you mentioned this is all a strategic plan with the aim of diversifying the economy and promoting a more secular image of the nation. Will they stand the chance to bid and win for the 2030 world cup and the Olympics in the future?

So, did you mean if PSG must accept to lose a lot of money by giving him to the real madrid with cheap price? It's not a smart move for PSG. The club is not willing to get lose. Al hilal is coming with better offer than real madrid.
That being said that if al hilal is far richer compared with madrid. PSG can sell mbappe in profit to the al hilal. There's no need to rely on real madrid at this moment. This club has no money like al hilal. There will be no management of club willing to make their club suffering huge lost of money.
I think that we must think about that wisely. You must also see this as a business not only about football. It's caused by money already involved here. It's not something free.
That's why PSG accepted an offer from al hilal. The final result will be on mbappe itself. As long as mbappe will agree to reach personal agreement and i think that the transfer can be completed as fast as possible.
Business is business.

It can be said that the competition for a starting place in the Bayern Munich squad is difficult because there are so many younger players to be able to fill that position properly and because of that Sadio Mane seems to be slowly being pushed aside by Bayern Munich. Maybe no one would have thought that his prime with Liverpool before would continue when he was at Bayern Munich and indeed there were always problems that made Sadio Mane lose his best performance. I think now the most obvious option is to join Al-Nassr and for sure he doesn't have to worry about trivial things like at Bayern Munich. Sadio Mane, a Muslim, will make him much more comfortable in worship as well as to continue his career playing football in the Saudi league.
