I’m no football expert but I think it could be the truckloads of cash dumped outside his house.

So basically this video is a timeline of the Mbappé saga and not the reason he didn't join Madrid. Okay

As much as I love your videos, with all due respect, you haven't actually explained why he didn't join Real Madrid. You haven't gone into any detail about the financial package that is reported to have been offered to him, the powers over sporting decisions nor the political tactics used by involving Macron in all this. There is much more you could have unpicked from this.

I think there are some important things missing. The pressure from Macron (admitted by himself), the pressure by the anne Hidalgo (admitted by herself), the alleged pressure from Sarkozy, the pressure by the Qatar Emir, the power that Mbappe has now in PSG (already sacked Leonardo and hired his friend Luis Campos and the high priority to hire Zidane and sack Pochettino)... it's not only money, there are a lot of forces involved here and even politics reasons behind (remember that the World Cup will be in Qatar and the Olympics in Paris... interesting stuff)

Madrid and Barça on regular basis: *War Zone on comments* *PSG disrespects Spanish Football* Madrid and Barça: 🤝

lol, I never expected to see Mbappe in a Plymouth Argyle shirt! Well done boys.

Personally, I don't have a problem with Kylian turning down Real Madrid. Steven Gerrard and Francesco Totti did it, but, they did it with class. Him, instead, used both clubs to raise his auction. The worst part is, the fact that both clubs knelt down to have him in their squad. I understand that he want to win the CL with PSG, after all, he was born in Paris, but he has no class. As a French man myself, I'm disappointed by that kind of behavior, by him and his surroundings. BTW, you always offer us good content. Salute from 🇫🇷. EDIT: Apparently, some of you in the replies find it normal that a player who has much to prove plays with 2 clubs to raise his value, so let me remind you few things : 1) Mbappe always dreamt to play for RM, and even had a lot of poster of CR7 in his room when he was a kid. 2) He refused a contract extension offer before Messi came and agreed to play for Los Blancos next season. 3) This saga lasted more than a year. I don't care about him being the highest paid player in the world ( if he becomes a billionaire, that's good for him), but my point is, no matter how good you are or the number of trophies or honors you won or what you achieved , no player should take himself bigger than a club. You have to show some respect to your club. That's why Totti, Gerrard and even Del Piero are real legends. Unlike them, he is an overpaid baby.

Yes! Mbappe to Plymouth Argyle! That’s what I want to see!

Mbappe will never have as many UCLs as Lucas Vázquez.

Good for RM. Now the team can continue to build on the growing chemistry between the players and the next gen can properly transition without the overinflated ego of one kid.

This video could last just 2 seconds and say money

Bit of a misleading clickbait title. Video doesn't explain WHY mbappe didn't join Madrid.

Hakimi was not sold to afford Mbappé, he was sold to avoid crucial covid losses that would've resulted in FFP penalties.

Blessing in disguise for Real Madrid. They don’t really need Mbappe. They need to find Modric and Kroo’s replacements

i think it's disingenuous to say "Real Madrid unable to challenge for La Liga title." They lost by a single point. It went to the final day. They had the head 2 head on both Atletico and Barca but was one point behind aletico. Unable to win, sure. Unable to challenge? It was a 3 horse race all the way to the end. Good history lesson, but you didn't provide much insight into why he chose PSG in the end, aside from speculation that QSI just wanted him to stay for the world cup, which never made sense to me. He wins a world cup with France, not PSG or Qatar. He's a frenchman, not a Qatari. QSI doesn't own him. What does it matter which club he plays for when the world cup begins?

I think the mystery behind this deal (and thanks for clearing up absolutely none of it, btw, Tifo) is the biggest problem for Mbappe. People are already speculating that he has some sort of DoF role, hiring and firing whatever staff or players he wants, and I can see this all getting dumped on him if next season goes sour. I hope the cash helps and he has decent people around him because the media piling the expectations of millions on your door is the sort of thing that gives people that young nervous breakdowns or worse.

This is missing so so many facts. 1. Real Madrid's deal was NOWHERE close to PSG's, even including image rights. PSG offered him 600 mill for 3 years, signing bonus include 2. Mbappe played Real and used them as a leverage to get a better deal with PSG. 3. Both he and his mother deliberately lied and strung on both fans and real about joining for so so long to the point fans just got annoyed with him 4. He also asked to be joined in decision making process of PSG, including firing players and coaches 3. The state heads of Qatar and France (both macron and sarkozy) repeatedly got involved and directly asked him to stay at PSG a number of times

At this point Real Madrid should look at the positives. On both occasions when they missed out on Mbappe they ended up getting the most sought after young stars in Camavinga and Tchouameni. So all the “madrid have an aging midfield” criticisms are gone. They now have Valverde, Camavinga, and Tchouameni. Literally any big team in Europe would LOVE to have atleast one of those young players. They missed out on a superstar, but they gained a star midfield that should last them a decade plus

Imagine france president call u three times to stay 💀💀💀

Real Madrid probably won't try to sign him next time when his contract run down after 3 years. He probably won't get the chance to sign short term mega money contract after this since after this and I think he's stuck at PSG forever after this snub. The only clubs right now capable of paying high wages are Real Madrid & PSG. Man City already has Haaland, Bayern or Juve will not pay salary above €500k a week. I don't think he'll get his demand the next time around.

Considering his wages, the money they turned down from real Madrid, and the fact that he is now too expensive to resell (no other club can afford to buy out his contract or meet his wage demands). He is now a toxic financial burden. PSG will never get a profitable return for their investment and they won't be able to get rid of him either. I know Qatar has has all the moneys, but think of the players they could buy instead, and think about what happens if they don't win the champions league

Not all players have trophy ambitions; look at Son.

Some key points as Mbappe's announcement in press that he wants to leave last summer or the 130m something commision from Madrid which they wanted to be in the region of 200m wasn't mentioned but over-all it was fine coverage of the scene and as for funds real is one of the 2-3 clubs with positive net after pandemic they've been selling players for long

Great video prior the Sensible Transfers epis!!! I'm so excited!!!

If Mbappe wants this stigma of “wanting money” to go away he HAS TO win the champions league soon.

Being a Madridstas am glad he won't be able to destroy our young squad with his presence but at the same time am sad cause i really wanted him to join us. Hope the best for him but i won't look at him the same way as i did before.

Thats what the PSG representatives fed the media. 300 mil signing bonus is impossible to turn down in any planet. Anyway Real Madrid will be continuing to be the greatest club with or without any specific individual. But the way he kept his shoes in two boats using Real Madrid as a pawn is a genuine sign of unprofessional.

I don't see how it's "embarrassing to Qatar" if Mbappe joined Madrid. Literally nobody would link it to the state or the world Cup. Just PSG alone. What's "embarrassing" is PSG's comical implosion in the CL and stupid managerial choices

They broke FFP, unquestionably. This should not be lauded in any single way, it’s a terrible precedent

Neymar is such a big example how going to club with no discipline and values starts downgrading you as you never feel any pressure. When you play for club with values and history, you always have to keep in mind what previous players have achieved and you are supposed to continue their legacy . Mbappe gonna regret it later on .

Mbappè said in every possible way that his dream was to go to Madrid. When he signed for PSG he did it with the intention of guaranteeing himself to be a starter, because in Madrid; CR7 and Bale were the starters on the wings and Mbappè did not want to go to fight for a position, but he "warned" that PSG was a previous step to the RM. So far everything perfect. Last year Mbappè asked to leave, he spoke with Florentino and the RM put 200+ million for Mbappè to leave, an astronomical figure for a player whose contract expired in 6 months and did not intend to renew, PSG, knowing that the economic rules do not apply for them, that they do not comply with the FFP and that UEFA is in Qatar's payroll, decided not to sell, Mbappè gave his word to Florentino that he would go to RM at the end of his contract, but that he was not going to fight publicly with the Sheikh nor would declare in rebellion. However, he ensure that he would go to Madrid, to fulfill his dream of playing for the biggest club in history and to prove in a big league that he was the new best player on the planet. Everything was going as agreed until the trip to Qatar. There, they offered him more money than anyone else has earned, plus the keys of the club, he will be the star, he will put the coach he wants, the sports director, he will have a say when it comes to player departures and signings... Big mistake. On the one hand, this season Messi, Neymar and several of his teammates will no longer see him as a teammate, surely there will be a division in the locker room, a clash of egos, the next coach will be seen as a puppet of Mbappè and he will continue to play in a league where winning has no merit because the rivals are infinitely inferior. Everything that is not winning the Champions League will be a failure and fodder for memes. Mbappè has sacrificed his legacy to be "richer", while in Madrid he could mark an era. Serious mistake.

Personally I can't wait for the Tifo prediction of "Mbappe to Plymouth Argyle" to come true, always knew he had a thing for the Theatre of Greens

Tifo is amazing but this was one of their worst videos. In almost eight minutes, they only explained the transfer saga which we are tired of listening plus the ucl fixture episode. Then in about fifteen seconds they made an assumption about the Qatar investment fund and that was it. There are multiple topics on why he stayed, not covered here, mostly besides money.

I still remember reading the news that Mbappe's mother said that her son still prefers to move to madrid, just a couple days before the renewal. But when they said PSG becoming confident of their proposal, Mbappe's mother add the statement "the two club offers is very similar, it's up to Kylian now". I just knew at that point Mbappe has changed his mind or he's never intended to go to Madrid in the first place

So what will happen to him once his extension is up? With that kind of wages no club will ever be able to afford him, considering transfer fees, signing bonus, etc. The decision to involved him in the executive management of the club is also baffling. It will most likely impact the dynamics of the club and turn the dressing room's mood sour.

The "17 Minute Implosion from PSG" quote made me chuckle. I expect nothing less from them

Answer, because he is young, he is French, and is a WC winner. In Pele's days, he would be considered a National Treasure and barred from being acquired by another country. But because modern days and social media. BTW I'm just as disappointed he didn't go to Madrid, but hey, now Madrid can grow their youngsters rather than pursue another Galactico investment.

Feel like Madrid dodged a bullet. He’s trouble and wants too much control

Not a bad video but lacks a lot honestly. Neither the financial package mentioned in detail, nor the involvement of French veterans like Zidane or pressure from politicians such as Macron in favour of PSG, nor the fact that Madrid has actually won the champions league without Mbappe which is a big relief for Florentino

video topic suggestion: increase commonality of signing on fees for players and how this sets a dangerous precedent

I think it's an interesting move that Mbappé stayed at PSG, but they made a big mistake by firing Tuchel back then. Leonardo was a big issue at the club for years and now that he is finally gone maybe PSG can actually get Zidane and get something done internationally, because Pochettino is not up to the job.

You didn't explain why he chose PSG, just told us what we all already knew 🤦🏻‍♂️

8am CET, Tifo upload on point

Simply put, arab blood money and the insecurity to live up to the pressures of joining the greatest club ever to play this beautiful game

I just think he doesn't want to leave until Champions League is won. And PSG put together an enticing enough package to keep him around. Plus having Messi and Neymar on his side helps. Madrid can wait 1 or more seasons

It's a shame that we will never see Mbappe play in Real Madrid. I wonder where he will go after he gets tired of League 1. Probably not City if Haaland kills it, maybe Liverpool if they are still great? Maybe Barcelona if they recover financially?

He's won the WC, he just wants to remain in a club and country where he's pretty much a national treasure while getting paid and having lots of power. I don't see a problem with that

Real Madrid didn't sell Sergio ramos, sergio didn't want to cut his salary because he was injured for months so his contract expired, and Varane wanted to leave to explore new experiences in another competitions.

When Mbappe talked about Real he meant Riyal (Qatar's currency). Journalists just misheard that.

Please, Tifo. It's ' ash-raf- not ackraf. Sincerely, a Moroccan fan.

Mbappe is scared of playing in Bigger league. He will forever be a Farmer

Still as relevant today as it was last year

Equally should have focused on Haaland as well

Love the background music for all your videos.

I feel the thumbnail summed it up sufficiently

After this deal, His deal/Neymar deal ( sorry they got him on a “loan” deal then bought next year) and Man City bizarre situation with Finances does anyone still believe financial fair play actually exist or even matter for certain clubs ?

This man Nassir Al Khelafi destroy the football world . I dont know where is FFP and what is the function of FFP anymore 🤦🏻‍♂️

There is actually a new cocktail dedicated for Mbappe that is called an *oily martini* 🍸

Normally very thorough videos but I think there was more information you could have included

So confused why when showing teams he could join it had him in a Liverpool, Real Madrid and a Plymouth Argyle shirt😂😂

Their next year defeat in CL will be even more enjoyable

What I like about this is that it used to be that Real Madrid galactico money tactics for decades led them to sign any player they wanted whether they had a contract or the other club wanted to sell, and finally it's like "NO, we can out-money you", and the Spanish press and league crying like babies calling for "unjustice." Pure comedic gold.

I like the narration💯💯

Mbappé was kind of forced to stay at psg from his parents and other higher directors in the world and they all insisted of Mbappé staying at psg

We all know Mbappe will never be respected as a player after this whole debacle.

No ambition might be the answer. Preferring to stay at a club which has no real domestic rivals and the titles are pretty much bought by Qatari money is a sign of weak character. He'll be stuck there and soon forgotten. A new generation will shine in competitive leagues and once he realizes it and decides to leave he'll be yesterday's news.

Great video

I'm a Middlesbrough fan so I have literally no attachment to Mbappe or PSG but here's my view...I think it's actually refreshing for Real to miss out. Regardless of the money etc, top clubs have ALWAYS traditionally lost their best players to either Real Madrid or Barcelona over the last couple of decades and it's actually refreshing to see them lose out for once. It was getting boring seeing all the best players end up in Spain to be honest.

a video on Real Madrid next midfield and how they can set it up please

Fully convinced that the lifetime supply of mint Viennettas was the key differentiator

The soothing voice of this guy is underrated.

Looking at how the World Cup panned out,we see why the Qataris did everything to keep Mbappe.

In general perspective ( not based on the club size , history and other factors ) Who Refuses the contract with more money + additional benefits rather than going to another club as normal player ( i.e normal player here means only focusing on their own career and being loyal to the club ) I think Mbappe has chosen* " life time settlement "rather than joining his "dream team" for a while

I think for Haaland, it's because of Benzema rather than Mbappe cause they both play different role, Benzema arguably having the best season of his career, it will be foolish to have both Benzema and Haaland at the same time, hence why Perez wanted Haaland to stay at his old club fir another season, but Haaland himself of course have his own mind and decided moving to City is the best option for him.

5:48 I recently did a fifa career mode rebuild with plotmouth alybo and it’s funny to see there kits here in this video

5:55 Mbappé at Plymouth Argyle confirmed

That’s basically destroyed his career if he don’t join Madrid immediately they’re will be no ballon dors or other trophy’s except Ligue 1 and that League is trash

6:47 maybe restricting the lifetime supply of viennettas to mint was the deal breaker

Can we get a Sensible Transfers - Manchester United video?

Betrayal of Mbappe really made me praise Gareth Bale and question how some fans in Bernabeu treat him booing.We so dumb we chanted a player who was not ours and booed our own legend. Gald for Rodrygo on the right hand side though. 🙈

I genuinely think he did NOTHING wrong at all

This video was made entirely for why he wouldn't go.... But HE IS NOW

this will be the single most disastrous decision in everybodys - outside of real madrid - life. as a madridista im happy to see them building an strong core with camavinga,valverde,vini,rodrygo and tchouanemi instead of paying the kings ransom for a primadonna .

I tell you why he didn’t join because 🎵ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY MONEY MONEY 🎶🎵

Ok, i will explain what happened, Mbappe wanted to join Real, he was pushed by his mother, by the president of France and by the Qatar because the World Cup was in that country and they needed Mbappe to be the image of Qatar Power, so they offered a LOT of money, Mbappe felt guilt for not winning the Champions league, last year he said he wanted to leave and wanted PSG to earn money from Madrid as a contribution , so this is whats going to happen, Mbappe didn’t want to leave for free because he feel he is in debt with PSG, so he agreed to sign for 3 years, he will only play for 2 years , when he has only 1 year of contract he will be transferred to Real Madrid for some amount of money , that’s the deal he made with Qatar, that’s the most logical explanation, this information are pieces that i was able to recollect from all the interviews he gave.

I already know why but I just like the way he explains it

CONFIRMED Mbappé is off to Plymouth Argyle. HERE WE GO!!! 5:56

Even though madrid ended up with neither mbappe or haaland. They instead got the UCL that city and Psg so dearly crave and beating both on the way to winning it. Thats one way to stick it to them lol.

Mbappe could might as well have stayed at PSG for a big signing on bonus then loan himself out to RMA. Masterstroke!

Does this require a whole video 😄

Nice video

I never say real Madrid go down on a player like mbappe this kid made two power houses of Europe bend on their knees

It's a massive blessing in disguise.... Real would have given him a salary close to what PSG gave him. He's a national treasure for the French, despite our disappointment ... especially how he did it. El khalefi....is dangerous, he should be put in check now. I thought florentino Perez was more dangerous.. Mbappe should just give up on any future transfer to Madrid...and work hard to give PSG the champions league. Goodluck.

Madrid are flying high with Valbuena's best buddy Karim Benzema. Get a good secondary striker that can compliment the squad that isn't a fortune. A Spanish player the city and supporters will love to see win. After the Super League debacle the team needs to earn goodwill. Gerard Moreno or Inaki Williams. Both are older and wouldn't be expensive. Imagine Vinicius and Inaki on a counter attack. No one could catch them.

Crazy how the biggest issue i have with the video is the fact the at the Plymouth argyle sponsor is wrong hahaha, Another class vid boys! crazy situation.

He was smart and was able to negotiate like a boss. He was the world cup hero 4 years ago and was excellent in his PSG campaign every year. Considering how much money PSG make with Mbappe, its the right thing that he gets his share.

I love how people act like this is the first time a player used a club to get a better contract. Chelsea literally get used every year all the time. Other clubs also get fleeced all the time (see willian, malcolm). Real are just a bunch of entitled brats who got lucky to win the cl. They won't win it again in the next 5 years.

The information we got in Madrid was that the RM offer was 100 million bonus paid once + 35 million a year during 5 years. and PSG offer was 150 million bonus paid once + 50 million a year during 3 years The Spanish offer take everything in consideration was 55 million a year. The french offer take everything in consideration was 100 million a year. In Spain we all understood his decision, but we were disappointed of course because he is a very good player, and because he waited to the very last moment to reject R.M But again, if he had not gone to the last edge in those negotiations, he wouldn´t have got those 100 million a year. That´s life.

5:55 For anyone wondering, that's a Plymouth Argyle shirt on the right.

People saying it was wrong what mbappe did would do the same thing that he did. No one would turn down that kind of money that he is getting offered. Plus after 2-3 years he will anyway join Madrid so no harm in making some serious cash in the meanwhile. Big W for him.
