Surely not...

Agreement PSG-Mbappé. PSG expected to make an offer to Monaco in the coming days. Nike would like to associate Cavani, Mbappe, Verratti and Neymar in their advertising campaign for the 2018 World Cup

Who cares what Nike want, it's not their money.

With so many suitors for Mbappe there is absolutely no reason for Monaco to sell to PSG. Didn't PSG try to sign Fabinho earlier in the season and the Monaco board just told them to feck off and it wasn't happening? And with PSG about to be inveatigates for the Neymar deal how are they going to justify Mbappe too? I call bullshit on this story.

 

[El Zoido]

Something must be done about PSG and the likes, they are seriously taking the piss if they after spending that sum on Neymar just turns around and spend £140m on Mbappe as well.

Ruining football for serious clubs.

As long as he doesn't go to City..

 

[Igor Drefljak]

Thing is though, I think Monaco should sell Mbappe this year.
We don't know when the whole crazy money being spent will bust. Mbappe has the hype, but with Monaco selling a lot of their players, his figures and value may take a hit if Monaco as a team underperform.

If I was Monaco, I wouldn't really be concerned who I sold to. PSG have strengthened while Monaco have dramatically weakened, so they may as well just sell to the highest bidder, wether that be PSG or Real etc.

 

[Klopp_De_Klown]

perhaps Rooney won't feature much.

I think we are going to see a new rooney or a rooney of old. He had a good rest last season and is at a club where covering left back and carrick is not required of him. I see him being strheronger and more mobile than he has been last few seasons for us.

I think he'll get a bounce and that goal will do him no harm either

70m is insulting - especially after Watzke said 100m is too low.

 

[Cassidy]

70m is insulting - especially after Watzke said 100m is too low.

Insulting? For a 2 season player? £63m insulting?

 

[Schmiznurf]

Crazy price, absolutely ridiculous imo.

 

[Utdstar01]

We should be in for him.

 

[Schmiznurf]

Insulting? For a 2 season player? £63m insulting?

Only because they already said 100 would be too low, so offering less is an insult.

 

[Damien]

Insulting? For a 2 season player? £63m insulting?

Yes, after what Watzke said. Also, it is a bit simplistic calling him a 2-season player. He's immensely talented and with the prices players have gone for this window, the 220m windfall Barca have got, and the valuation of Mbappe who is a "6-month player", 70m is very very low.

 

[newgiz]

Insulting? For a 2 season player? £63m insulting?

Dembele has proved himself in 2 different leagues already. Calling him a 2 season player is perhaps undermining his talent. I have no doubt he would be great at his next club as well because he has shown he can adapt fairly well.

I am disappointed that we haven't made a move for him. This is the sort of signing we should be going after rather than the likes of Perisic to be honest.

Don't see any reason Monaco would agree to sell Mbappe to PSG of all clubs when there are clearly other clubs willing to pay huge amounts for him. Doubt they care too much what Nike want frankly.

 

[Cassidy]

Yes, after what Watzke said.

Erm its called negotiation? Surely you negotiate

I think he is a great player, but he is still kid and £63m is a lot of money

 

[Damien]

Yeah but with that disparity between valuation and first bid, it'd be like us bidding £20m for Aguero or £50m for Bale. Never going to be accepted.

 

[Antisocial]

But sugar daddies are entirely acceptable because United also spend money, or something

 

[Cassidy]

Except 70m euros is not a million miles away from 100m. Im pretty sure if he goes there it will likely be in between those 2 figures too.

 

[newgiz]

Neymar moved at approx the same age as Dembele to Barcelona 4 years ago to a sum that I am guessing is somewhere close to 80 million Euros(not sure if its even more than that considering Barca never admitted to how much they paid) so I would say its perfectly reasonable for BvB to expect a fee close to 100 million Euros.

 

[Hammerfell]

You'd make a rubbish negotiator.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

@Di Maria's angel @Klopp_De_Klown yeah, perhaps Rooney won't feature much. I think they're buying quite too much and Piggy will have a hard time fitting it all.

Good player, nonetheless. More consistent than Barkley.

 

[Schmiznurf]

You'd make a rubbish negotiator.

I didn't say i'd offer the price they want, I was just saying why the offer would be seen as an insult.

 

[ThomasEmil]

If PSG got Mpabbe, all of European top clubs would be taking a distance from these methods.

Hahaha..... I remember when there was as a rumor that Nike wanted to pitch in money for the transfer of Ronaldo from Madrid to Manchester United due to Real being sponsored by Adidas, and they wanted Ronaldo back in a Nike kit at United....brilliant claims

So Marotta confirms that they will be sold this summer. Marotta has been the most reliable source. If he says somebody stays, player is as good as gone.

I am pissed but you have confused the feck out of me here.

Marotta here means that offers will be eventually accepted next year but must be very good

 

[Offside]

It's the hearing of Aurier today I think. Pretty sure the press said it was August 7th. Will be interesting.

After this entire summer and you're still thinking £63m is too much? Sigarddson and Walker are going for slightly less. This guy is one of the best young players in the world.

 

[Hanky panky]

Yeah. He will accept it sooner or later. Usually sooner. Pogba, Vidal etc were all staying if you asked from Marotta. That guy is a serial lier when he talk about sellings.

 

[1974_Fergie_Time]

A lot of newspaper sites seem to be like that now, full of avertising. That is how they pay, but it does make it frustrating.

If you have an apple computer turn off javascript before visiting online papers helps stop most adverts and videos playing

Safari - move your mouse along to Develop clidk this and a drop down menu appears, look for disable javascript, click your mouse on disable javascript - make sure a tick comes on next to it
then visit online newspapers you can read text of stories and now ads or pictures don't load in background either

 

[Tosicsleftpeg]

For me Dembele is the best young talent available in European football now. He's better than Mbappe and had the ability to be a future Balon for winner imo, brilliant dribbling and great pace plus the fact that when he plays he often looks like the best player on the field all point towards his amazing talent.

In today's market id definitely pay 100m

 

[Cassidy]

Erm please show me where I said 63m is too much?

 

[FCBarca]

It is who I wanted since the improbable Verratti links began

 

[The Stain]

 

[Mr Smith]

Gone from ambivalent to kind of really hoping this happens. You need cover at fullback these days, and if we hold the cards when negotiating a price for once, it could be a fairly low-risk acquisition in a position that's particularly high-energy and will always need cover.

 

[RedMachine03]

Barcelona have reached an agreement with Ousmane Dembele, according to L’Equipe.
