Man City have offered Cristiano Ronaldo a two-year contract worth €14-15M net per season. The player has to decide what he wants to do, while Man City currently do not want to pay Juventus any fee. [di marzio]

Currently, this crocked anchor will be gone by the summer of 2023. If restructuring his contract, we must not do anything foolish like cutting his wages in half only to extend him to 2027.

City supposedly only willing to take him on if he lowers his wage demands.

Leonardo: "We did everything we could for Mbappe. The whole transfer window was around him. We're not happy. But if a player wants to leave, we won't hold him back. He'll leave on our terms." [l'equipe] Sounds like if Madrid offer 180m+ he is gone.

Cristiano is not what PSG needs if Mbappe departs, but having Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar as ambassadors for the 2022 WC has to be a tasty prospect for Qatar.

:lol: Bale is bigger than their club.

Riqui Puig doesn't give up: the midfielder has decided to stay and will try to convince Koeman. [cat radio] He wants to waste another season at age 22. Take a hint lad. Or maybe he's just happy to be at Barca and the rest is secondary. :shrug:

Without Mbappe PSG's attack is not that fearsome, at least on the CL level. Congest Messi and Neymar and you've won the match. Big names all over the pitch, but most of them are over the hill and past their their physical peak. Basically 16/17 Barca with even older players. Mbappe offers that...

Supposedly has a 70-75m release clause in his contract which activates in 2022.

The team that gets this lad for 70m is very, very lucky. Going to have a ridiculous season if he stays fit.

Watching the match. He is taking it to the next level. Doing everything right, carrying Dortmund's attack by himself. Frankfurt are playing really open and sloppy though, all Haaland's contributions have been with space and on counters.

At Madrid he will become the biggest name by far in a league starved for superstars and will have a new cycle built around him at the most prestigious club in European football. If he waits a few years that opportunity could go begging. Competing for a CL, which is hardly guaranteed, as the...

He wants to get out Leo's/Ney's shadow, win the Ballon D'or, pave his own path etc, etc. Also a massive Madrid and Cristiano fanboy. He will be a Madrid player by next summer at the latest. Most clubs would take the 100m+ and run, but money is no object for PSG so they might just let his...

Real Madrid are preparing a €120m bid for Kylian Mbappe. This would be a base to open negotiations. Al-Khelaifi is still sure he can extend Mbappe's contract. [le_Parisien]

He cannot stop smiling. Full faced grinning every other second. Compare that to his last 2-3 seasons here. In the training videos he would but smirk occasionally.

What is the incentive for us to bring back a 36 year old Messi on massive wages? We are moving in a different direction and starting a new project. Understand the emotional attachment to Leo, but it does not make sense from any other perspective. We should give him a proper farewell in a...

What are there, only ~300,000 socis? Hardly 50,000 votes were cast during the 2021 Barca election, despite the ability to vote by post. It is unreasonable to expect such a large percentage of club members to not only be in Barcelona, but engaged and available to attend any single random match...

We went in for Veratti, and this man ended our club in response. :amazed: :worthy:

No, but he still has major role in the team. Wouldn't be surprised if he's the leading scorer despite not getting as many dead ball situations and the attack not flowing through him as much anymore. Messi and Neymar at this stage in their career are positionless players and lack pace. This...

Have to think Mbappe will be the third wheel here. Messi will take the free-kicks from the right and middle areas of the pitch, Neymar from the left. Assume they will split penalty duties as well with Mbappe occasionally given one if he's low on confidence or is in bad form. By 16/17 Neymar...
