€1 billion for a year, is there a more thrilling version of Mbappe's transfer?
Reporter Han Bing reported that 300 million euros transfer fee + 700 million euros annual income, a total of 1 billion euros to buy Mbappe for 1 year, next year to let Mbappe go to Real Madrid? Yesterday's rumours of a transfer in Riyadh Crescent interested in signing Mbappe were jaw-dropping. Transfer expert Romano, Western media Relevo, French newspaper "Team newspaper" and many other authoritative media have confirmed that Saudi Arabia made a staggering offer of 300 million to Paris, linked to the approaching deadline for Greater Paris to require Mbappe to make a choice, the Saudis' huge investment to match Messi has stirred up the situation even more exciting.
Transfer expert Romano said Greater Paris had accepted Riyadh Crescent's €300 million transfer fee offer and allowed the club access to Mbappe's team. However, Western media and other French media believe that Mbappe has not been in contact with the Riyadh Crescent side, at least for now. Just as he had previously remained silent in the face of the Paris ultimatum and his exclusion from the Asian list. Of course, the so-called Riyadh Crescent's record 1 billion euros offer, in addition to the 300 million euros transfer fee, Mbappe's base annual salary is only 200 million euros, equivalent to 6 times his time in Greater Paris, and the remaining 500 million euros come from commercial sponsorship, brand endorsement, social media business promotion and image rights income.
In Ronaldo's contract with Riyadh Victory, with a base salary of 75 million euros and a total of 200 million euros in all earnings, Riyadh Crescent offered Mbappe 2.6 times more than the Portuguese. Western media said that the Saudi side said that the 1 billion euros were originally the funds quoted to Messi, but now it has turned to Mbappe.
The outside world naturally doubts the authenticity of the Saudi offer, just as the so-called two-year total of 1.4 billion euros was originally offered to Messi. For the Saudi side, whether or not it can sign the most expensive player in the current service, the rumor of 1 billion to buy a year has caused enough sensation.
July 31 is the deadline for Mbappe to receive 50% of the $80 million loyalty bonus, and Grand Paris hopes to sell Mbappe before then. This will save at least 72 million euros in annual salary before tax for the new season and 90 million euros in loyalty money for the new season. Riyadh Crescent's €300 million offer is very satisfying to Grand Paris, but President Hailafi is also very clear: it is impossible to force Mbappe to transfer, and even in view of the protests of the French players' union, even if Mbappe stays in the new season, Grand Paris cannot take too drastic measures.
As a warning penalty, Grand Paris has left Mbappe in France and did not take him with him on the Asian tour. The club hopes that the Mbappe crisis can be resolved as soon as possible, and the astronomical offer of Saudi Arabia "comes" at the right time.
But as CBS reporter Jacob said, Mbappe's silence from beginning to end is actually a polite refusal. Mbappe's team knows very well: if they accept the Saudi offer, it will be a heavy blow to their football status. Regardless of whether he can maintain enough competitive form in the Saudi League for a year, he will successfully land at the Bernabeu next summer; This move is tantamount to completely shattering the dream-chasing idol personality he previously created to join Real Madrid to chase glory - such a choice will not be difficult to imagine the impact on Mbappe's long career in the future.
In addition to Saudi Arabia's astronomical offers, various transfer rumours have poured in, with French media claiming that European giants such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and even Barca have expressed interest in Mbappe. But these giants could not accept a transfer fee offer of at least 200 million euros from Greater Paris, and Mbappe's arrival could only be carried out on loan. What's more, how to distribute Mbappe's annual salary of 72 million euros before tax is also a problem. At present, in the hot data about Mbappe's future selection, some institutions believe that Saudi Arabia is even more likely than staying in the team, and as for Barca, who may not be able to register successfully in Xia City, it seems more ironic to enter the ranking.
Saudi Arabia's €1 billion offer is more like a catalyst injected from the outside, with Grand Paris, Mbappe and Real Madrid all waiting for a drastic acceleration of events. The Saudi offer greatly increases the suspense of Mbappe's farce, and as the most watched superstar of this summer, it may therefore have a clear direction in the short term. But this time, the Saudis are more likely to be just "tool men" for the three parties to bargain with each other.
