Topic: Just a separate Mbappe thread, until he retires, is all I ask

[jepovic]

He technically took a pay cut by rejecting Saudi. At the end of the day, his priority is to win big trophies so that he can win the Ballon d'or.

That's why he preferred PSG to Saudi despite them freezing him out earlier.

You have got to be kidding me. He's not even in a major league, so how would that even work

[MonsLibpool]

Then he should go to Real, because that competition is basically only for la liga players.

A nice trivia question: Who is the only Premier League player to have won ballon dor?

Ronaldo and Owen.

Michael Owen

They are in the CL you know? No way he passes up a chance to win it no matter how miniscule. And then you have the Euros this year.

[Barneylfc∗]

Ronaldo

Forgot that gobshite won it at United.

If he really prioritized winning CL and ballon dor, he would have moved to Real years ago.
Actions speak louder than words. I think hes happy being an incredibly wealthy national hero.

He was a few penalties away from winning the last one.

[Chakan]

So we’re buying Mbappe! Sweet!!

[Knight]

I was put in my place suggesting this in the Transfer thread but still think he may end up at City.
1. Madrid need Haaland not Mbappe in terms of the position they're short.
2. City can afford to pay the obscene wages.
3. Mbappe isn't going to want to play in a mikey mouse league and fail to win the CL forever and if Madrid isn't an option and we're not an option (and we're not I don't think) where else can he go?
4. Yes City have got players for left forward but they're not working with limited resources like non financially doped clubs so this needn't be a huge consideration.

That said, maybe he goes to Madrid and just plays down the middle, I'm sure he's capable of it.

A LFC player ...

Ronaldildo when he was at Man U

Micky Owen won it in 2001 as an LFC player.

Nope.
City are fucked mate.

Some, if not all, of those 115 charges are sticking.

More chance of Kevin Spacey winning another Oscar than Mbappe going to City now, or ever.

Qatar and the UAE are not exactly friendly to each other.  I don't think PSG will willingly let him go to City.

[Samie]

It's 99% delusion and 1% faith. Keep the faith  reds. 

[Samie]

PSG view Liverpool as the most dangerous team to sign Kylian Mbappé.

That's the story of my life...I'm in!

[CHOPPER]

They give us £150mill, plus Mbappe, then we should consider trading Mo.

[jacobs chains]

Outside of training though, what does your social life look like if you're one of the most famous people in the country? He can't be walking the streets freely.

If you're ultra rich, have an entourage, access to any club, bar, restaurant you can name anywhere in the world and you live in one of the best cities in the world (if you're rich), petty good would be my guess. Add to that France's privacy laws and it's about as good as it gets.

[MonsLibpool]

Let's me have a look at the full article.

Edit: Looks fake.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Not really. He is out of contract in the summer ...

[Historical Fool]

Welcome to Liverpool, Kylian Mbappe. Where’s the lean ?

[fredfrop]

Now we finally have this thread would the mods please lock it until there's any substantial news?

[Knight]

It's not up to them though. That said, I hope the following is true!

Would be nice if we get him on loan to help us through January without Endo.

[lionel_messias]

To clarify, it is my belief that the Premier League itself would collapse if they
cannot make the majority of charges against City stick. It may be a 20 points deduction or whatever but City
will have to be punished.

Whatever happens, there is no way they can put a player on £500k or a Million a week while
the investigation is pending.

City need to be thrown out of the league.  If not, the league loses its credibility.

"I don't think Liverpool are frontrunners [for Kylian Mbappe] by any stretch, but the fact they're in the conversation is interesting."

They like him, no doubt about it. They've liked him since his Monaco days."

[@ptgorstw/ @TheAnfieldWrap]

[shook]

Wow the yearly contract negotiation is even roping in LEquipe

[Caligula?]

I've also liked Scarlet Johansson since her Lost In Translation days but it never materialized.

[Schmidt]

I hate this logic honestly, like we're desperate to be linked just to be in the big boy club, even though there's no chance we'll offer what he'll demand.

[Qston]

Got in there before you mate. Sorry. She does a bit of gardening for me. She doesn`t really like footy so I keep her warm and safe in the shed

[killer-heels]

I always wondered who the Echo would ride the rumour back of after Bellingham. Didnt think it would be Mbappe again but here we are.

[stoa]

He really has turned into some higher priced version of Dario Srna. How many years is it now that in every single window he's linked with a big move away from PSG and us being named as being interested?

[jepovic]

I dont think hes going anywhere. Nobody can afford to pay him nearly as much as PSG.

[Nobby Reserve]

I dont think hes going anywhere. Nobody can afford to pay him nearly as much as PSG.

Ah, but he's now banked his fortune. Going forwards, it's all about the football!

[Qston]

Ah, but he's now banked his fortune. Going forwards, it's all about the football!

Also, presumably no transfer fee involved so wages much less of an issue and/or big signing on fee.

Not that I think he is coming to us. I really don`t. I just don`t see him as a 'Klopp' player. He will end up at City or Madrid.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Mbappe has earned around £100 million before taxes in 2023, including image rights, sponsorship deals etc. His wages at PSG are actually less than 50% of his overall earnings. Like I said before, signing him would not be a football transfer, but a commercial operation, for anyone ...

"They like him no doubt about it, they've liked him since his Monaco days."

"I think the absence of a transfer fee makes it a little more realistic, Liverpool won't have to be spending £200million on a player before they have even talked about a contract."

[De La Goal]

Mbappe joining seems... unlikely. But I thought the same about Torres back in the day.
 
All this stuff about attitude, wages, etc. is just getting yer sour grapes in early. Admit it: we'd all be absolutely chuffed to see him in Liverpool red. And, eh, haven't we still got the Caicedo cash? 

[Samie]

NEW: Liverpool are a team that Kylian Mbappe really likes. [@LaurensJulien]
