    Mbappe PSG salary!

    Resigning on fee £100m then £1m per week!

    Absurd!

    Utterly sickening. Football's broken.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    I heard he has the rights to the use of the ground in his contract! Ludicrous if it's actually true.

    There's literally no point in football at that top end any more, no point whatsoever other than the disgustingly wealthy having their annual dick measuring contests. Give me Dunfermline v Annan any night of the week over PSG v Real Madrid etc.

    Wow, 50 odd years ago it was players threatening strike action for a decent wage, now we have the tail wagging the dog and absolutely insane wages. This money isn't even being paid because of the money the game attracts through crowds TV or sponsorship any more .... the super rich owners are making it so top heavy it's going to absolutely destroy itself.

    We mustn't blame him. He's a fine player and he's entitled to earn whatever he can command. We'd all take advantage of it if we could.

    It's just absurd that in a short period of time, that deal will be surpassed.

    Good for him getting himself a great wage. Not like it'd coming out of our pockets and psg owners won't miss it.

    Ah, but it’s a short career. Players have to earn the equivalent of a lifetime’s wages in a week just in case they get a career ending injury. Or something like that.
    Do they have their ability to think, move or find employment when they finish their first career?
    Just obscene.

    The wages are mental but I'd rather the players got those amounts than even more money going to fatcat owners.

    Why would anyone want to work 1 day more than they need to?

    I guess that’s a rhetorical question that fails to address why anyone should individually earn more than a small country

    It's not just a football issue, it's a society issue. There are people who can't afford food at the moment and the number of billionaires is increasing. Football is just a very high profile example of the greed culture that is prevalent in modern society

    I don't agree he should, but if his horrible billionaire human rights violating owners are willing to pay him that, he's going to take it. I don't blame him, problem is much larger than him

    That does put it in perspective.

    Mbappe wanted to go to Real, the club he actually supports, but thought he’d try to ask for the moon and PSG decided to give it to him. It’s not the money that matters with this contract it’s the power it gives him to affect how the club develops! Very much like the NBA. Remains to be seen if other clubs follow suit, certainly City managed to get Haaland without similar contract shenanigans.

    With the world in such a state of disarray this should never be allowed to happen, it's an obscene amount of money for kicking a football around the pitch. Questions need to be asked by UEFA where PSG are getting all that money from as it surely doesn't meet financial stipulations of the club for European competitions. The club and Mbappe should hold their heads in shame.

    👍🏻 Point well made about the source of finance.
    I despair for the beautiful game and these really are obscene amounts of money for anyone to earn

    this. Players are employees at the end of the day and there’s no game without them.

    With this sort of money only being available to a small number of people, there will be no game shortly

    You’ve got to laugh at La Liga going nuts over the deal. I read that Real tried to sign him last summer and were looking to spend £300m all in on the transfer and wages etc. Yet are up on arms at this deal.
