If you don’t count the 100m or so that will be spread about to make it possible 😀😀

Yeah I read in the French and Spanish press (translated) them last few days that the kid's gonna get 100m signing-on fee. Still cheaper for Real than if they'd have had to pay PSG a transfer fee. Plus, they'll make that money back in no time through shirt sales, other merch, new sponsors and the likes.

His salary will be much lower than in Paris too.

But Mbappe doesn't care, he's set for life already. Kid just wants to go to a proper big club and win proper titles.

We need a player who can break the low block, take on a man, beat him and in turn create space for others. My concern for Neto is that he would be like Johnson, a player who does his best work on the break, with plenty of space to run into, we dont get that often, facing low blocks, like yesterday against Wolves is becoming the way teams adapt to deal with Angeball.
We need a plan B from our manager and likes of Maddison to shine when in these kind of battles, instead he was poor, Son was out at the corner flag and when you wanted neat triangles to break a team the ball was bouncing off Richy like he was a lamppost.

Neto can play in tight spaces and is still effective.

After the wolves game I'm convinced on Neto. Imagine we get Neto on the right, Son on the left with Kulu and Johnson coming off of the bench.... Fire!!! Although we might need another striker...

Neto didn't even have a good game by his standards , he was really poor first half.
Just as well he didn't.
He is a very good player.

Only way we'd be getting him is if Wolves are fucked by FFP and need to sell and we sort out some sort of payment structure that's dependent on appearances to combat his injury record tbh.

Luckily, there are plenty of players across Europe with the exact profile Neto has but with less injury problems.

He's not even worth the £60m which was originally quoted because of his injuries, it's a high risk transfer.

Pretty sure the whole point of Lange and his magic database is to sidestep such pantomimes.

We swerved paying 30m for Nusa in Jan because of physical red-flags........ To then blow 80m on a routinely injured Neto (or Olise for a similar fuck-tonne of cash) would be bizarre to say the least.

Absolutely.

You can go and grab Soule, who fits the profile, for well over half the price being quoted for Neto and he's putting up better numbers, is 3 years younger and has history with Paratici.

Technically not a transfer, I believe. Mbappe will be a free agent so no fee involved…..

other than agents fees, players sign-on fee, consultation fees to relatives and other earners in brown paper packets slipped under tables.

The talk is he will be giving PSG a part of his signing on fee no doubt he will get an Qatar ambassador role and its a way to help with ffp

The terms of the forward's exit are yet to be finalised as the two parties negotiate whether Mbappe will leave for a fee or sacrifice his own earnings to protect PSG financially.
