OMG, the "Real Madrid will be there for Mbappe" tweet is hilarious.

 

Alaba's dad said PSG offered way more money than RM, but he only wanted RM move.

Bellingham joined the English national team. Spanish press saying the Comunicado could come today or tomorrow, but if he’s with his national team, when would we present him? You would think the Comunicado would come shortly before his presentation.

I hope we don’t have to wait until after these international games are over

Lol "free" transfer saga PTSD again.

 

Hypothetically let’s say this transfer materializes:

For the millionth time, Mbappe doesn’t want to play striker. We can talk all we want about him “drifting” left or whatever but the harsh reality is Vini’s positioning will be most impacted by Mbappe’s arrival. The best version of this player is LW and that will be his longterm position.

 

MENSONGES…❌
En même temps plus c’est gros plus ça passe. J’ai déjà dis que je vais continuer la saison prochaine au PSG où je suis très heureux. https://t.co/QTsoBQvZKU

— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) June 13, 2023

Mbappe himself denies the rumors:


“LIES… ❌
At the same time, the bigger it is, the more it passes. I have already said that I will continue next season at PSG where I am very happy.”

 

If Mbappe comes this summer, he will replace Benzema unless we sign a world-class striker. Endrick won't be a starter until he's 21-22.

 

Wow

 

So he released a press statement saying he won't pick up renewal option for 2024-25, no seperate renewal talks with PSG and now Twitter a statement that he is happy stay at PSG for next season.

Again, not playing it straight forward.

 

BREAKING: Hype Train now renamed Fool's Train. Congrats to those who joined.

 

Back to Kane saga?[emoji23]

Well, in theory, the two sides of the story can be right. He is saying that he is happy to stay on at PSG next season BUT will not renew. If PSG don't want to lose him for free next season, then both Mbappe and PSG know between themselves that he'll need to be sold this summer.

 

I guess Flo knew what he talking about in the video.. only in 2024.

Paris know that if does not extend, he will leave for free and they don’t want that to happen, so if he does not extend they might give him an ultimatum this window

 

Yea, he's putting PSG in a corner. But we don't know the ulterior motive. Could be to make PSG sell without coming off as he's the one forcing a transfer or could be to force PSG to offer a better renewal deal than he's received so far.

 

Cool. Who plays striker week in and week out? It comes right from the horses mouth that he doesn’t want to play there.

 

I'm not sure his tweet changes anything lol

Mbappe can't openly say he wants to leave now.

The game is this ....dude is reminding PSG that next year he will walk for free...knowing that PSG have stated numerous times that they won't let him go for free. I think he (Flo) wants PSG to make the first move. If they want transfer money for him, they HAVE to sell him now....and you can't force him to go where he doesn't want to.

That's my reading of the situation. Mbappe will move IF PSG decide to sell him (because they can't let him go for free).

Of course all speculation based on what we're hearing.

Entertaining June!

 

Kylian Mbappé replies to article about him wanting to join Real Madrid this summer ⚠️⚪️ #Mbappé

“Lies. I’ve already said that I'm going to continue next season at PSG where I'm very happy”, Mbappé says.

…but PSG position is clear: extend the contract or leave this summer. https://t.co/uG0brNZWlD

Fabrizio says "PSG position is clear: extend the contract or leave this summer"

 

He's staying, just like last year and the year before that. Maybe next year things will change because of his contract ending, but he's staying and getting all the attention he wants.

 

Mbappe far more likely to sign another 2 year contract and get 80mm loyalty bonus than leave

 

This is my belief.

That woman has shown who she is and she will be an absolute nightmare to deal with in the future; who cares though if we can get prime Mbappe with Vinicius.

I really think they panicked seeing Benzema leave early and the rumors of Kane means Mbappe coming in 2024 to be the face and hero of the club is nonexistent because Kane would be that.

 

I can't wait until he signs his next mega deal with P$G or Man Utd, so we can all move on. It's not happening, just let it go.
