My views on Mbappe joining PSG
Currently news outlets around the world are running the story that PSG has made a record transfer bid for Mbappe.
The story was run by Goal and is as yet only a rumor. The transfer offer is said to run over €135 million.
In my opinion, PSG would be a better, safer choice for Mbappe than say Real Madrid. However, I think it is unlikely the transfer will happen.
PSG at the moment certainly has the money to bid for any of the top players in the world.
Moving to PSG would not be as a big a transition as leaving for the Primera Division and joining the European Champions.
But Mbappe is unlikely to leave his childhood club, for the team's biggest rivals. Also, in terms of sheer perfomance, Monaco is the better team at the moment having defeated PSG to win Ligue 1.
Most importantly there will be plenty of offers for Mbappe in the future. The striker is still very young and developing. If his current form is any indicator for the future, he will have no problem in joining a team like Real in a few seasons from now.
I've haven't seen much of him in action besides in the Champions League and Youtube videos but he does appear to possess all the makings of a world beater. That said the same was said of Anthony Martial. Mbappe should stay with Monaco for at least another season. They have a young squad and play to his strengths and he will develop even further there.
Great point.
Martial is certainly very talented and was part of one of the biggest transfers in football.
But did the world get to see his best at Manchester? Not really. In fact, it's likely he'll be mostly on the bench next season as well, as talented as he is.
I think he should stay in AS Monaco for at least 2 more seasons and then move on to a giant team. The reason? Well that way he wont become a bench warmer and mess up his career
