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.
Can you buy love?
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.
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.
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
I see the offer has been accepted.
They never even haggled
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.
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.
