Honey Honey Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Quote Monaco have accused some of Europe's top clubs of making illegal approaches for teenage striker Kylian Mbappe. The Ligue 1 club said in a statement that "important European clubs" have made contact with the 18-year-old France forward without permission. Monaco may ask world governing body Fifa and the French league to consider disciplinary action. BBC Sport understands Manchester City are the only English club accused. They have refused to comment officially. A City source, however, told BBC Sport the two clubs developed a positive relationship over their two Champions League meetings last season. It is understood negotiations over the sale of Bernardo Silva to City for £43m earlier in the summer were positive, and the ongoing dialogue over £50m-rated full-back Benjamin Mendy has also been cordial. The source added they did not believe City had conducted themselves in such a way that would breach the trust that exists between the two clubs. Arsenal have also been strongly linked with Mbappe, and Monaco reportedly rejected an £87m bid for the France international in June. Mbappe scored 26 goals in 44 appearances for Monaco last season as they won Ligue 1 for the first time in 17 years and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. Monaco claim clubs have breached regulations of both Fifa and the Ligue de Football Professionnel. Fifa rules state: "A club intending to conclude a contract with a professional must inform the player's current club in writing before entering into negotiations with him." BBC Sport contacted Fifa but it is yet to provide a response. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40673053 Transfer bans for every club in the Champions League would sort this out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I know Real Madrid are involved in this and Arsene Wenger himself said he spoke to Kylian Mbappé at his house although he didn't say it was about trying to convince him to go to Arsenal. Maybe he went there for a cup of tea. What I'm surprised at is that this is news now. It's been happening forever and will continue to occur. Anyone that thinks that a club goes first through the owning club before finding out if the player would be willing to join is extremely innocent. Negotiations cost a lot of time, resources and above all else money... Yes, a negotiation costs money before a transfer fee is even paid. What happens is that clubs don't tend to complain to the authorities because they make enemies of massive clubs and that is like burning your bridges and all that goes with it. But in the age of massive transfer fees I think we're going to start to see more owning clubs of players that generate massive interest making formal complaints.

Machado Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Couldn't even express any surprise at this. 100M+ fees will be common in the next windows. Obviously a great signing if true. Mbappe is the only player in Europe who I think could come close to match what Messi and Ronaldo have done in terms of goal scoring in the last 6/7 seasons. If things click with him, Real will have a tremendous side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 From what I understand Monaco have agreed the deal. The one who hasn't as of yet is Mbappé himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 22, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 22, 2017 PSG taking the Bayern approach then and buying half the players of their rivals whenever someone can threaten them.

They need one more midfielder, Motta is not the player he was, Fabinho would reallt strenghten their starting XI and their squad. Reports coming out from France are saying that Monaco accepted a PSG bid for Mbappé: 155m plus a player (Guedes, Lucas or Draxler). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philippe Coutinho Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 How does this work? What if PSG opts out of the option next season? Obviously PSG did the transfer/transaction this way to circumvent FFP laws but those laws are a joke to begin with. AS Monaco would be wise to get as much as they can from the loan now. PSG have to pay a hefty loan fee, I believe. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/27/paris-saint-germain-agree-deal-kylian-mbappe-monaco Fabinho's coming to PSG too. A great talent.

That deal is just terrible for Ligue 1. It´s a joke. It´s definitely a circumvention of the FFP, but I don´t believe PSG will be punished for it. They have a top notch legal team and they probably know they will get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(must be nice to have the backing of a national wealth fund). Khelaifi/BeINsports networks/Al Jazeera/Qatar......oh what a not-so-tangled web we weave! Just follow the money. Don't think anyone wants to take on Qatar! Time for City to step their game up! (Guardiola's bunch, I mean, not Leicester, lol.) They're funded/bankrolled by Abu Dhabi. Knowing the Arabs as I do (ARABS! LOL!), the UAE and Qatar would LOVE to outdo each other. Oneupmanship's the name of the game among the elite in the Arab world.

Administrator Batard Posted August 28, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 28, 2017 PSG like any club that spunks a ton on players this season, has until 2021 to balance those books. Even then, the fines are negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like PSG may have first refusal on him so if another club comes in for him or tries to buy him, PSG also have that option to buy and then it'll be up to the player to decide.

It really is fait accompli with Mbappe, the loan is protection mechanism for all three parties especially for PSG who are merely spreading the financial burden into 2022.
