Amazing that all the latest transfer rumours are that Mbappe is going to Real and Haaland is going to Barca. Two clubs with massive debts are somehow finding hundreds of millions to pay the contracts of the two most wanted players in the world. It's almost as though the financial fair play rules in Europe don't apply to the biggest clubs.

Guess it will help that Mbappe will cost nil and Halaand around £50mil

Both will shed a load of wages this summer as well when they get rid of loads of very highly paid bench warmers

Their wages will be the reason why only those two clubs will get them

I’m surprised if PSG don’t try and grab Haaland to replace Mbappe

I saw him in Monaco when they battered City. I didn’t think it would be possible for a Player to be that quick.

Mbappe going on a free so only a question of wages/agents fees signing on bonuses lol, very much a case of it was always his dream as a kid to be a galactico etc

Be utterly shocked if Haaland goes to Barca tbh

What do you think we're talking about in terms of wages? Got to be between £500k and £1 million a week. So between £26 and £52 million a year just in wages. Would guess that agent fees and signing bonus will be at least double the upper estimate so another £100 million plus. Then there's the knock on effect of other players seeing what you're willing to pay for top players and bumping up their own wage demands. It's going to be crazy money over a 5 or 6 year contract.
