This shit has to stop

>t.not_a_PSG_fan

>you now remember the outrage when Manure signed Martial for £36m

reports that it was £80

>Pay 135M€ for him to sit in the bench

with all the incentives and add-ons maybe. so united doesn't have to worry about that.

mbappe is different though. he's as close to the next big thing you can get so of course his price tag is going to be way tilted.

Will they be sanctioned for tapping up?

This is unironically insane, the bubble will burst in less than a decade at this rate.

6 good months in the one competition that matters

what else can a player do to be signed up by one of the CL contenders? He already made it to the semifinals

Football is just too dumb nowadays.

who was THE player that inflated the prices of football players so much buds?

was it Bale? Cavani?

have you forgotten about vinnicus jr?
45M shekeles for him, that's stupid as fuck la'

James

Chelsea is about to pay possibly 60 millions for Van Dyke (or whatever his name is) and like 90 millions for Lukaku. The market is inflated as fuck nowadays, but I think Mbappe is really worth at least 80 millions, he has showed a lot of quality, and you know, he is only eighteen years old.

Probably started with Ronaldo and Kaka desu senpai

it was 80mEUR which worked out to 56m, although quite a bit of that is clauses i.e. he wins balloon door

He could either be the next Ronaldo or be the next Depay

p.s.: it's money laundering

this
also martial

it was the increase of tv money for the BPL.
At this point the other big clubs have to join in on the ridiculous amounts spent by English to even have a chance to compete.
Just look at the amounts some English clubs spent on painfully average players.

pogba brought the price tag for average players way higher.
>muh youth
>muh potential
>muh marketing

Papers are saying that people are willing to pay. You can't trust sport newspapers, they have no dignitiy.

There is no specific player. If you start tracking the "highest paid fee" from the start to these days, it's almost a perfect exponential function that survived 1929 and two wars.

Obviously using a median fee of some sort would be better, but it would be a massive work, not only in finding and processing the data, but in picking them. For example, do we take the median or the average? and of how many and which transfers?
Theoretically possible to do though, Transfermarkt has transfers from 1870s or so.

>transfer fees have to stay within an arbitrary limit

what is money laundering?

Invest in very young players usually a good idea. Neymar cost around 100M, and if Barça would want to sell him they would get your money back. Lets review the case of the literal who Real signed for 45M. If he is really good his value will double if not he will still worth at least 25M.

>People are willing to believe and post about a transfer that isn't going to happen this transfer or next transfer window

It's supply and demand. The prices are crazy because the demand is so high. Football continues to be the global entertainment leader so spending the same amount as the average cost for a summer blockbuster movie on a player that looks extremley likely to be a world beating superstar actually makes economic sense.

He won't be reaching his PEAK until 2027. Just let that sink in.

If he becomes the next big thing then any club that have secured his services for 130+ million euro is going to bring a lot of that money back in shirt sales, sponsorship opportunities, image rights, etc as well as the potential competition money he will help bring in if he performs at the top level.

The money in football is crazy but the math still makes perfect sense given how much money is there to be made if you are buying the best talents and the superstars of tomorrow.

Mbappe is a special talent. He's about as sure of a sure thing as you can get in football. The way he has burst on to the scene has been spectacular and he looks like he's playing for fun smashing goals in the CL and he's only 18.

He's probably worth that price tag desu.

compared to whats about to happen this window the pogba deal doesn't look terrible.
he's a midfielder who plays a ton of minutes and at least is effective.
its not a streaky striker or a pacy winger nullified buy a competent defense.
juve, on the other hand, did not improve with all the pogba money.

They were CL/Ballon d'or winners tho.

>his market value jumped 70000%
>he's just a generic striker who scored some lucky blooters

I think this nig is gonna be the biggest fraud of all time. Dmitry Rybolovlev is a capitalist genius.

Reminds me of Martial

Pogba

john stones 50M

happens everytime
one good season or tournament and that player is the worlds best

how many nothing players have a half decent world cup and get bought up by some team, play 2 games then get benched then put on loan?

>boredoo chamakh would go for 50 million in todays market
I want off this ride

Andy Carroll

I'm more outraged that an agent can convince his player that his club is shit just so he can pocket $15M from both sides in the eventual transfer

it all skyrocketed when Betis Sevilla gave 32 millions for Denilson in 1998

1998 is pretty much the year that kickstarted everything in Spain

MBRAAAAAAAAAAP

>to sit in the bench
You what? He's taking Cristiano's spot at Real

alright calm down just name a footy player
