They can afford him by being the best in the business, and by telling him "We don't need you, so here's what we're offering."
Not saying they're short changing him, but Madrid knows he's not essential. It's like putting a chainsaw on a tank – The tank was plenty deadly without it.
FFP doesn’t exist when you’re RM
Who cares
Amazing what the royal family can do.
15mil salary a year is a very good deal.
Paying 150mil as an initial fee might sound steep, but it is not paid to a big competitor, making it a good deal, too.
Madrid been corrupt for years, spending and spending without a cap.
Real neber buy sucess 😂😂
More importantly, why do they want him?
they like being deep in debt. Mbabbe is overpaid for what he is
Correction: they can do it because Florentino is filthy rich, and has so many banks and local governments under his thumb.
It's all smoke and mirrors, and corruption.
Mbappe is grossly overrated ! He is only gonna cause infighting among players. Stupid idea!
They are still doing the super league and the moment that get all confirmed he will leave because he wouldn't be play champions league.
FFP?
Spending triple the money honestly just makes all their accomplishments so much less impressive
Corruption
I could never support a team whose only existence is to buy trophies. Every trophy should have an asterisk
They would have lost their footballing licence a long time ago if they played in the Netherlands….here you cannot spend money, you don't have
Because they're the biggest "oil money" club in the world. Literally owned by the royal family but still don't think they're in the same group as City. 😂😂😂
You also forgot the money that they give the refs 😂😂
I hate big money in football
Because its Real Madrid
It's corrupt!
All that money while there is still homeless people and vets. What a stupid world we live in.
Easy, click Editor and amend the budget
15 million euro per year? that's very low….
He ls a greedy person
Why are Barcelona only on £204m a year vs RMA, genuinely wanna know, would appreciate the details, thanks
”How can Real Madrid afford Mbappe”
We’re talking about a club who previously sold themself a piece of worthless land for a super inflated price to pass FFP rules and wasn’t punished by UEFA. In other words they will cheat if they have to so don’t worry, RM will always be able to afford stuff even if they aren’t 😂.
respect to the presenter for working on his delivery, props
One thing nobody ever mentions is Diego Simeone's salary.
Can you believe he actually earns double what Mbappe does?
Poor Barcelona 😂😂
barca and prem dogs crying 😂
I love Chris Hammil. A true FD legend.
So they can afford it because Perez is guessing that the new Bernabeu will make double its cost in revenues? Seems legit.
Haha what a joke. Didn't even mentioned Tebas hand in it.😂
Its easy to the morst corrupt club in the world back up by la liga mafia.
As an accountant you really haven't explained this properly at all. Loan repayments and also if you purchase assets don't go against your profit and loss. Only depreciation of the stadium and also the interest repayments do. So in reality neither have a huge effect on your ability to sign players
Btw Real Madrid highest paid player Toni Kroos who had a €24M annual salary just got retired. So they have plenty of space in the wage bill to accommodate Mbappe
Weapons grade bullplop. They're called "Real" Madrid for a reason. Anyone who thinks being supported by a nationalist dictator and then the King has nothing to do with it needs to book an MRI asap.
And they say FFP is fair lol
Best run in the world
