Mbappe's been at PSG for 5 years and somehow he's been the biggest news in the transfer window every summer😂

Okay well Mbappe promised he wouldn’t leave on a free transfer so Real Madrid put in a very nice bid for him and PSG rejected it. Now he says he is not renewing with plenty of notice. Pretty sure it’s 100% on PSG they should of taken the offer. You can’t just trap him by refusing to sell him and blaming him.

Mbappe doesn’t owe PSG anything. He gave PSG some of his best years and they wasted it on a poorly run club. He’s had enough and getting out.

As a PSG fan (I grew up in St Germain - the 2nd half of the club's name), Mbappé gave his all for the club and wouldn't have stayed as long if he didn't deeply love it. He has every right to want to move on with his career and get the titles he deserves, and sadly enough probably won't ever get if he stays. The issue is with Nasser, who runs the club pretty poorly and lacks any clear vision. Which is why, year after year, there's no real coherency to recruitment, the coach can't really run his team the way he wants to, and some players do pretty much what they feel like. As a whole, the club lacks structure. Romain Molina (who's a great journalist who writes for many newspapers, including the WaPo and NYT) has a couple videos in french on that topic, maybe Adrian could get in touch with him, as he's super informative. All in all this was bound to happen at some point, and it's Nasser's fault for not anticipating it (in fairness he should have sold his to Real in 2022 for the insane sum they were offering), not giving Kylian any reason to stay. As often with that club (and believe me, it pains me to write that)...what a shame.

oh no did someone reject 200 mill for his player, sign him on wages that dwarf entire clubs and then get mad when the player wants to fulfill his contract ?

"I don't know man, I just want this to end." I think that quote at the end defines it for everybody: PSG, Real Madrid, the fans and Kylian Mbappé.

Him saying “I am not leaving for free” doesn’t mean anything - Because it doesn’t mean he wants to stay at all. It just means “hey, if there is an offer coming in for me, please consider it. It won’t be my fault if I end up leaving for free. I don’t want to leave for free but if you don’t sell me, then I will leave for free.”

The funny thing is that there aren't that many teams that can legitimitely afford him anyways: Real, PSG, City and Newcastle. Even funnier is the fact that Newcastle seemingly don't even want to make gigantic purchases yet, PSG is the club he wants to leave, City already have Haaland and the relationship between him and Real became sour the last summer. Where can he even go at this point? With the money he earns I think he should form his own team Mbappe FC and both play and coach the team or something at this point.

Mbaape jus trollin at this point

It's totally on PSG. Wtf. They gave him that ridiculous contract and refused Reals immense offer.

He wants to win the champions league and that won’t happen with PSG but is as good as guaranteed with Real Madrid. Although, I can see him going to Madrid and then PSG immediately winning the champions league, like when Coutinho left Liverpool

This will they won't they already surpassed most relationship dramas in your average romcom.

The player and club kind of deserve each other but PSG made the mistake in my opinion by giving him the contract and player power in the first place. They gave him every reason to wait his contract out, collect a huge bonus, and then move on

Love ur channel and ur flow of every episode, best wishes and good luck with channel dude ✌️

Hey Adrian. Great video as always. Please can you cover what's happening with Canada and their national teams.

Whoa. Never expected you to take interest in ISL. I'm glad you bought Hyd FC jersey tho!! ps - im from hyd

Man, I really appreciate the kit from my hometown! Great video as always ofc

With FFP (however much these top teams actually care about that), it makes sense for any player to want to move for free, so that their new team has more to spend on other players and has better chances of winning. It’s just smart as a player to move on a free, you get more of a signing bonus and but your new team still gets hit less hard than a transfer would hit them. Mbappe has no obligation to PSG beyond a professional one

Loved seeing express fc on the sangalo also Adrian your vids have grown since 2018 i love the grown

Nice video Raybona 👍 Seems like Mbappe has all avenues covered when it comes to PSG. Can't forcefully sell him this summer because he has a contract. Can't make him rot in the reserves because they're paying him a fortune. Can't stop him from agreeing a deal with Madrid for next summer because PSG offered him the +1 option themselves. I've never seen a club put itself in such a weak position.

PSG logic: Remember the contact...yeah, that don't mean anything

Dope video Adrian

Love and respect your inch perfect research 👌🏽

Its quite an Interesting development how Release clauses have become the norm in Player Transfers and the sorrounding legal negotiations. Since players are not a good it is not them who inherently are priced in a certain way but rather their time of leaving before the contractually agreed upon end of the tenure. This is quite different to nearly any other Field of work, making it rather interesting how Clubs nowadays rely on the clauses as an income stream, but also having it as a usual expenditure. If you compare it to any other Field of work it is highly unusual - we'd never declare early on towards Our employer that we intend on leaving and vice versa. So I think - unless there is some legal agreement between Mbappe and the Club to not let the contract simply expire without renewal (which is a Clause I think would not be compatible with european labour law) - its basically a normal situation of employment. I think therefore that Mbappe does not owe any explanation whatsover and should only utter one if he has Personal intent to leave Paris with an undamaged Reputation. Otherwise: Pack up your bags and See whether Real will accept the laughably enormous signing Bonus you demand.

So he doesn't like his role in PSG because he ain't playing in LF? So what makes him think he would be LF? Ahead of Vini Jr?

Thanks for clarifying all this, Adrian. It's pretty hard to follow......😆

Nasser & PSG are the ones who rejected a TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR bid from another club, one that won't ever come again. Even if KM just signed the extra year to squeeze money out of PSG, they had the opportunity to cash in and they turned it down. Everyone and their brother knew what was going to happen this summer/next summer when they rejected the bid. The Mbappe's have bent PSG over a barrel and all PSG can do is not a damn thing 😬

Sending love from Hyderabad! Keep sporting our stuff Adrian!

Love you Rabona!

Mbappe has been clear. He said he wants to finish the contract. If PSG doesn't want him to leave for free that's really their problem. Why is it the onus of Mbappe to help al-Khelaifi save face? Always support player power.

Mbappe says he doesn't like playing as a striker so how the hell is he suppose to replace benzima? I think Madrid should sign someone else. Makes no this signing where will vini play??

There this rumor that Mbappe stayed at PSG last year because political pressure from Qatar and Macron. Apparently, Qatar didn't want to lose Mbappe just before their long awaited world cup. This explained why Mbappe only extend his contract for 2 years.

I blame PSG for this, Mbappe played his hand well throughout, Nasser gave him everything to be able to have three of the biggest stars in the world at the Qatari team during the Qatar World Cup. Anyone wanting to buy Mbappe this summer just has to agree they won't go above 50m and PSG will have no choice but to sell him for 50m, or decide they prefer to lose him for free because the CL money they'll get is more.

Woah a Hyderabad FC Shirt on you cool so cool They are a great team ♥️♥️

The BEST IS YET TO COME for this ammazing young man. I'm happy to see Mbappe move on. 👍🏽 CHEERS 🥂... It's good for a man to know his worth. Keep climbing HIGHER & don't look back! 💪🏾 💪🏾

PSG all but gave him the club, now their obscene financial flattery has failed. Yes Mbappe is like - to be or not to be, but PSG created this … they created fertile grounds for this situation to flourish.

Mbappe doesn’t owe psg anything he should leave that oil club for free

Talk about the golf cup god damn it

Why is this complicated ? Even if Mbappe said he would not leave for free, it's still on PSG. Why ? Mbappe said he would not leave for FREE, he did not say he will not leave unless some team pays 250 million euros ! I'll have you know that 1 million is also different than "free". Ok, ok, It would be kind of insulting to offer only 1 million for Mbappe, but it's on PSG to demand a reasonable sum in order to not lose him for free. For example 80 million. It's not Mbappe's fault if PSG demand 250 million and no club is willing to match that. PSG can't turn to Mbappe and say "hey, no-one is willing to offer 250 mil, so you have to extend, cause you said you wouldn't leave for free".

Adrian rocking my city's Jersey, love it

What this situation ultimately points to is how broken the transfer + club financial situations really are. Clubs bleed through player wages and need to make $$ through player sales. Mbappe also has every right to follow the contract to the letter of the law - you know, the standard that all contracts are held against. Implication is that clubs sign players to contracts that are longer than they intend to keep player to profit, and as a player why would you participate in that without an explicit cut?

That 2+1 contract is absolutely influenced from the NBA player-option clause

In any case, PSG and their sporting director are already a joke. Whatever Mbappe May have promised, surely a big institution like PSG wouldn’t just go by who says what, right. This is a business and contracts are there for a reason. They agreed that 2025 was an optional year right from the start. Even when that deal was signed and announced, I was thinking that he would probably stay there for one or two seasons and then move on… I suspect that he only signed a new contract after being pressured by Macron and Qatar but doesn’t matter. The fact of the matter is even a layman like myself knew at the time that the optional year was unlikely to be exercised… so if they genuinely just took his words for that, how daft are they really

Yes, I agree. Would like this debacle to end this summer, Mbappe should either commit to PSG or Real Madrid.

Does Adrian work for bleacher report? I swore I heard his voice in a vid of theirs

khelaifi is the king of tantrums, they had to call the police on him after Madrid beat Psg

Can you do a video about poch and Chelsea have listened to his two interviews i like to hear your thoughts on poch

Kilian is playing these clubs like a fiddle. He's got all the power in this situation and everyone knows it. He probably should let them sell him as a means of not completely burning the bridge, but I can't think of what PSG has given him other than a big salary that he could get anywhere else.

It's going to be same shit every year I swear even if he leave I swear

As a Madridista, I definitely do not trust Mbappe. I feel like he is a mercenary that can only fit within an oil club's payroll. We need him badly but I worry about his mentality of as a player and Perez's obsession with getting him is taking our focuses away from other problems with the current squad.

Also, he's allowed to run down his contract, there's no issue in him doing that, it's part of football, he signed a 2 year contract in 2022, it expires in 2024, Kylian Mbappe has the right to run down his contract, we've seen many clubs lose top players because they decide to run down their contracts and this is nothing new, he has the right to see out his contract and I don't see how this is an issue but hey PSG are a circus and the season hasn't even started and this is what Luis Enrique has to deal with and they haven't kicked a ball yet.

tic tac boys Something i'd like to add: Mbappe currently makes roughly 200M gross per season. 60M in salary and 2 loyalty bonuses, each worth 70M. One at the end of July and one at the start of September. The reason he keeps on repeating to looking forward to next season with PSG is probably because if he mentioned anything about leaving this summer he'd wave that July 70M bonus, which, according to most media he wants to see paid in full by PSG if he is to leave this summer. The general expectation seems to be Mbappe will leave for Madrid before pre-season starts for a sum anywhere between 180 and 220M. His 70M loyalty bonus will be split by the 2 clubs. That NAK is such a slimy guy though. Mbappe promised the club he wouldn't leave for free back in 2021. They then received a massive offer from RM when he had 1 year remaining on his contract, which PSG refused. Any reasonable person would agree that releases Mbappe of his previous promise.

The greatest player in the world left for free, twice. Once to PSG and later to Inter Miami. Mbappe leaving for free is not impossible.

You can definitely see the influence of NBA contracts over the years on Mbappe and I can see how intelligent and inspired he is from his recent addiction with American sports IVER the years. NBA stars have been doing these team/player options for almost a decade now which allows the team/play a lot more flexibility when either the player wants to leave 1 year earlier or more than likely for the superstars if the NBA, for the player to have flexibility to leave/put pressure on management to build a better team. I’m saying that Mbappe is no way at fault here . Yes he is placing PSG in a difficult position but he is not at all doing illegal in terms of his contract. He’s however made it easy for Madrid in terms of placing a “take it or leave it” deal regarding the price of the transfer as PSG must accept and agree a price or he will leave on a free

Mbappe "promised" means nothing. The man has a contract. Nasser and PSG are incompetent. Simple.

Like.....maybe he expected a level of respect that the club would let him play for one last season and leave to a club he wants without prices just cutting out options

After hosting the Hyderabad E-Prix, winning the ISL now we have the football youtube goat himself Mr.Adrian wearing the jersey of my city! Truly the best time to be born in Hyderabad

You just had to troll grealish😂😂😂😢

The comment section side with Mbappe xD is Funny.

Mbappe hate playing with his Back facing the goal. Just play him in his position as promise.

Nah, Mbappe has them by the balls. He doesn't have to say anything. Maybe a loan will be the best they can do. PSG HAS to honor the contract

Clubs use and refuse and sell and release players at their leisure and say "its just business". They now feel aggrieved because a player is the one who outnegotiating them. Get over it. Hes being paid to do a job and is under no obligation to sign a new contract so PSG can make money off him. If they want to sell him this summer that is their right, good luck finding a buyer in this market. Otherwise he plays out his contact and does what he wants thereafter.

The club that, just a couple of seasons ago, signed the best player of all time on a free is now whining because they could lose a player for free? Makes sense (not). Best thing would be if the contract expires, Kataris don't get any money for the player and no club signs him due to his crazy demands.

He will go Liverpool on a free transfer when they return to the champions League

The fact that a club like PSG thinks they can just decide when and where a player goes, is actually funny. good on Mbappe for deciding on his own terms when and where he goes next. at the end of the day, its the players choice if he goes now or at the end of the contract. PSG can accept all the bids they want, Mbappe decides if he goes and when he goes. "impossible for him to leave on a free" they said 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You got the title wrong. Everyone isn't standing still .. Everyone is just left slapping their foreheads..

Sorry Adrian, I couldn’t disagree with you more lol. There is absolutely nothing Mbappé is obligated to do. At the end of the day, that extra season was a player option. Key word “option”, meaning he can opt in to the extension or opt out of it. I think Mbappé is honoring exactly what is on paper. PSG were not only given ample notice but they had an offer on the table from Real Madrid where they turned it down. At the end of the day this all sits on PSG because, they did not need to include a player option. There are clubs that have strictly club option triggers built into player contracts so only the club can trigger the extension and not the player. The player in this situation is honoring the grounds of his contract. It’s funny because when players honor the contract and it’s not in the best interest of the club, now it’s the players fault which is comical. Mbappé and Real Madrid actually don’t have to do anything at this moment. PSG have to swallow their pride and sell him for a significantly reduced price.

It's all a media game I don't know what happened and what didn't I just know I can't wait to see Vini and Mbappe toying with the defense of every club in the world

What silence lol he sent TWO letter saying he wont renew and nasser came out and said ohhh im giving you two more weeks to decide 😭 they just want him to renew and are nawt listening to him saying he'll stay this yr without renewing.

Nice to see you wearing an Indian football jersey!

Seems like a master stroke by Mbappe’s mother to get a billion dollar contract. It’s has been a decade with this nonsense

I agree with you totally on this situation and frankly I get bored enough with the whole circus of Mbappé .

all smoke

👌🏿🔥

Real pulls the ultimate reverse card and buy Oshimen

He keeps saying "Impossible" . That's scary knowing what those oil people are capable of. PSG definitely screwed up here.

as a Madrid fan, I really hope they don't go for him. he's good but not worth the drama that comes with him.

Psg should have taken that 160m. Dey fckd up

Should have taken the offer last summer they deserve that

I have a question, what if any effect will it have if Mbappe decides to stay and PSG essentially freeze him out of the team for the season? (Please bare in mind that PSG essentially have unlimited money and FFP seems to never be a problem to them)

The only problem here is Real Madrid doesn't seem as keen and every other big club wants to buy someone else.

If messi and neymar said the club is trash then there’s some truth to it

Nasser burned Mbappe a few years ago, lying saying he would sell him to Madrid if he wanted to leave. Now Nasser is getting burned by Mbappe. Its karma

PSG giving ultimatums here and there but in the end it’s Mbappe who has the final word… they don’t want him to leave for free but put a price of 200M on the guy. No one is going to pay that.

Its all the club fault for making the player bigger than the club , the contracts they gave him , control of choosing the coach etc

Kylian Mbappe's chances of going to Real Madrid this summer 85% after what the chairman just said. It's crazy that he's been the biggest talking point of every summer transfer window, is he going to Real Madrid or staying at PSG, somehow he remains at PSG, and this soap opera is sickening for everyone and now PSG have said that sign now or we sell you and this isn't surprising, they've said this for weeks and now it looks likely that PSG and Mbappe will part ways this summer. In 2021, PSG rejected multiple bids from Real Madrid for him, and at the time he had 12 months left on his contract, and throughout the summer and the season, his future was a big talking point and he was on the verge of joining Real Madrid, but last summer he shocked the entire footballing world by announcing that he's staying with PSG and they gave him a 2 year contract worth around 700k a week and he was allowed to be like a hierarchy for them, play a part in their sporting decisions, manager recruitment sales. Many felt like Kylian Mbappe finessed Real Madrid to get a better contract offer from PSG, they gave him a contract that he couldn't resist, the money they offered him and the role of a sporting director and they told him that there's a project put in place at PSG. Since last year, we've known that he's always had the option to sign for a 3rd year, and he already wrote the letter telling the club, he's not signing the contract and in the middle of the season 5 months after this supermax he was unhappy wanted to leave again because all of his promises weren't fulfilled and he denied the rumors of wanting to leave PSG. This summer PT 3 Mbappe PSG, the club has told him they'll sell him if he doesn't sign another contract and he said that he's staying and seeing out his contract, he's denied all of this as well. Now the chairman has come out and said that they're giving him a deadline in deciding his future, their stance hasn't changed sign now or sell. Honestly all of this should've been decided 12-18 months ago and when he was given the contract extension, PSG should've been aware of the situation they got themselves in. Kylian Mbappe on 2 occasions was close to joining Real Madrid and PSG have blocked it not just rejecting the bid, convincing the player to accept a huge amount of money to stay, and also Emmanuel Macron the president of France was involved in this deciding a player's future playing a role in he decision to remain at PSG. Kylian Mbappe's decision to turn down Real Madrid was related to money and political pressure, because he wanted a Real Madrid move, but PSG gave him money that was too hard for him to turn down and the words with the president convinced him to stay and why is the president being involved in football playing a part in his decision. When he announced he was staying at PSG, many knew he stayed there because of the money and not everyone knows the full story, when PSG found a way to give him so much money and telling him there's a project and we want you to call all the shots and you can make all the decisions around here and the president having words with him factored all of this. I don't blame him for writing that letter because he knows that not signing a new contract, he'll end up at Real Madrid sooner or later. This is PSG's fault and they have themselves to blame, not letting him go to Real Madrid, telling him to stay at the club for a little longer, and they should've known that this was gonna happen, because he should've went last summer, 2 years ago, he didn't and now PSG regardless of what happens will still lose him this year or next year. Now with that letter, Kylian Mbappe is basically telling Real Madrid come and get me now and it was right for his own sake as well as his footballing career because once he's at Real Madrid, the better.

Kylian Mbappe. Remember the name. 😎

Nassar contradicting himself he said mbappe said he wouldn’t leave for free he’s not you can sell him right now? I’m not getting his point

You can reassure that you love something all you want. If your actions speak the opposite it's pretty obvious what your real "feelings" are. Eventhough I question if there is anything to love about PSG in the first place. In the end it's just two man children squabbling about silly amounts of money, so I can take neither of them seriously.

I think it’s pretty clear Mbappe is in a win-win situation staying silent. If he stays a year all he does is run out his contract agreed upon by both him and PSG while making ludicrous sums of money. If he leaves it’s because Madrid thought it worth it to negotiate for him and he joins his dream club a year earlier with a real shot at the champions league. This upcoming season. Don’t think you can blame him for sticking to the contract, if he leaves on a free it’s 100% on Nasser.

He should stay. Will earn more than elsewhere and gets 0 blame, while all the credit If they win the UCL one day.

Madrid should let Mbappe to show his moves first, while on the side saving the transfer budget for Mbappe to buy Haaland later.

Please please please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 make a video on ISL and Kerala blasters and Kerala(South Indian ) football history

It kinda looks like Mbappe played PSG here. He got a huge payday out of them, always knowing he'd leave soon and get another huge payday at another club. PSG was naive to make the third year optional and they're now paying the price. More interesting is though, what will happen with Mbappe next. Surely after signing Bellingham Real can't spend 150 millions or whatever Mbappe commands as well. Who else would be willing to buy him this summer and able to afford what PSG wants...?

As soon as i heard you are a benfica fan i hit the subscribe button. BENFICAAAAAA❤

Kylian Mbappe's contract situation is just very evident as to how poor PSG are ran as a football club and it's not just this year, but for a while, PSG are literally Hollywood FC, it seems like they cannot go a month without a new piece of drama going on around that club, PSG aren't a football club right now, the circus there is hilarious and it shows no signs of stopping and all of this Mbappe thing adds to the circus PSG has been for a while. This plays a part in PSG's failed attempts to win the champions league when whoever is calling all the shots behind the scenes, isn't doing a great job. For the interest of the player and the club, it's time to move on and part ways with this player, because it's time for Kylian Mbappe to join a proper club, play in a league that will give him more exposure, proving himself outside of Ligue 1 is very good for his image and more importantly playing for Real Madrid he can just get on with his business and be the best player in the world, I'm happy with the situation they're in right now because with the way they're ran, it's not a proper club right now and Hollywood FC happens every year of every month and they're known for the drama off the field than what they do on the field. Writing that letter was a smart move for Kylian Mbappe and he knows that the club has taken action and won't let him depart for free and whatever happens, he's leaving PSG for Real Madrid whether they sell him or he walks for nothing. When he signed that contract last year, I think Kylian Mbappe himself was aware about the reality of this PSG project and how there isn't a direction or proper football plan for the present and the future. Ever since the PSG project started they haven't come close to winning the entire champions league. They've only gotten to one final, has been knocked out of the last 16 5 times, and during this period where they've failed to win the champions league, they've spent literally a billion dollars on players have had so many superstars, they've had to break the transfer record twice, 7 managers have had so many that have been sacked, still has no European title to show for it, they've made so many terrible decisions which has created multiple imbalanced squads which have been difficult for managers to deal with over the years. He knows that PSG aren't known for being a serious club and have been incompetent over the years when it comes to recruiting and managerial decisions, their mismanagement has lead to this situation because instead of them to build a proper and balanced team a competitive one, they have signed so many mercenary players season in season out. Winning Ligue 1 alone a league in which we expect you to win isn't a big accomplishment, this player is ambitious and Kylian Mbappe knows that leaving PSG makes perfect sense for his career and making the move to Real Madrid and it will happen this summer and this saga is Real Madrid and his to control. As soon as Mbappe continues saying "I'm not renewing", Real Madrid are signing him and are ending a very long transfer saga.

There is so much mind games with this guy man psg should sell him don't try to keep the player who don't want to be in your club simple

Well a circus can't be complete without a clown...

PSG's own doing. He signed a new contract last year on Kylian's terms because its pretty obvious Psg need Mbappe more than he needs the club. Paris also did Monaco bad by not selling to Madrid last year (sell-on clause). I mean, Mbapoe did give them a chance by staying to play with Messi. Now he totally proved to himself that winning the champions with Psg is almost impossible. He must feel lost, like what else does this club need to buy for us to win the Champions?! I have no sympathy for none of this parties. I actually wish Madrid the biggest and loudest laugh after Mbappe signs as a free agent and shove Psg to embarrassment. Money can't buy you class. Trophies and History do.

Mbappe has made his wishes quite clear…its PSG that needs to get real
