So do the FFP rules not apply in Saudi?
These clubs may be owned by super wealthy hedge funds and oil rich royal families, but surely if the actual revenue for the saudi clubs is low, sponsorship etc is low (and im pretty sure the revenues are nowhere near the european clubs) then how are they getting away throwing these transfer sums around?
Manchester city, Real Madrid, Barca etc, the wealthiest football teams in the world can't throw transfer fees like this around so how are teams in the non heard of saudi leagues able to to do it.
259million.
Wheres FIFA in all of this.

FFP is just a UEFA thing, so won't apply to SA. Standard revenue streams won't matter much with the oil and investment incomes there.So do the FFP rules not apply in Saudi?

I can see players retiring there, or going for a year to beef up their bank balances, but can't see any top player in their prime signing a long term contract to play there.
What about an outstanding 20/21 year old getting an offer of about £60m a year on a three year contract? Returning to the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga etc at the age of 23/24, absolutely financially made for life with another ten years of ‘normal’ wages.
Obscene. The amount they can afford has obviously been boosted by how much we are ripped off on the forecourt
Wonder how we would react to becoming a Saudi back club and buying Kylian Mbappe?
I would be very surprised if mbappe goes there at this stage of his career.
he's all about winning big trophies, balloon d'Or awards and securing his legacy as one of the best in the game. he won't be able to do any of that in Saudi Arabia
Interestingly we get most from the UK Continental Shelf via Norway. Saudis control the market ..we could of course drill for more sadly certain oppositions would occur
I think you will find that the oil that Norway supplies UK with comes from predominantly from Norway's Continental Shelf.
They would probably have found European football to have passed them by as their development stops.What about an outstanding 20/21 year old getting an offer of about £60m a year on a three year contract?

I see the offer has been accepted.
They never even haggled
Will he go though? Basically playing for nothing but money? No doubt psg would love to cash in after losing almost half a billion pounds, owners want out anyway dint they?I see the offer has been accepted.

Sadly no its not. A barrel of crude oil is usually between $80 and $120 a barrel. There are 36 gallons in a barrel which works out about $3.33 a gallon at 120. That's about £2.60 a gallon.
All the rest of the price we pay is transport refining import taxes fuel duty and VAT. So not the Saudis 'ripping us off', its the tax systems of the countries selling the finished product. I'm currently in Germany and the prices here are not so much different that UK.
👍
Sorry goats, I was referencing the Life of Brian sketch
I agree about the tax system but they are part of OPEC who dictate supply to artificially inflate the price of a barrel. The C in Opec really should stand for Cartel.
it would be like he has decided to take a 1yr holiday from football for 700 Mill
he is 24 and should be pushing his team to win the ECL and himself the Ballon d'Or, if he goes, he can forget ever being seen as a GOAT
I see Mbappe's not interested in speaking to them.
Great….he goes up in my estimation
£19 a second, hurry up Kyli you're wasting a fortune!
That will be about £1,900 waiting for this post to load.
LOL, seems a lot better today to be fair.
As others have said. Mbappe has a long career ahead of him at the very top.
Legendary status in the game beckons.
Whatever his reasoning, he would be a fool to go there.
Particularly because if he doesn't go they will offer him more next year and keep offering until he does go. Time is on his side.
