WHOA: PSG Has Pulled Mbappe From Its Lineup And Consider Him For Sale After Being Convinced He Already Agreed To Join Real Madrid
I'm not saying the NBA needs to pay attention here, but this is how you deal with a star who is demanding stuff. You get something back in return and don't wait until he can leave for free or tell you where he's going diminishing return. Nope. PSG said fuck it, you want to leave fine. We're getting a shit ton of money back on the transfer at least. This whole drama has been going on for a decent amount of time now:
Now PSG is over playing in a preseason event and just yanks him from the lineup. I'm not sure exactly how, but I hope they send him to the most obscure club in a transfer. I'm not even talking Europe. Can like the Seattle Sounders land him? Can Wrexham get him? We know they have deep pockets. That's how you start marketing season 2 of Welcome to Wrexham.
The point is if you're anyone - let alone a major team or whatever - if you make an ultimatum you stick to it. No letting them out. No giving into demands. You make the demands and you absolutely don't let someone walk for free when you can make money. That's simply called good business. Sure, Mbappe is elite, I'm a fan of his, but this is how you handle the situation if you're PSG. How about slipping in the fact that he's already agreed to a free transfer? Not now pal!
It's also not lost on me that all this is coming out on Messi day.
