The $332M is just for the transfer fee to PSG. The Saudi team would then be paying Mbappe $776M for a one-year contract. So it’ll cost the Saudi team (which is most likely getting the money from the Saudi government through their Public Investment Fund) $1.1B just to get Mbappe for one year. From what I’ve seen so far, Mbappe will refuse to sign with the Saudi team, so this deal might not happen. I say might not because it’s going to be very difficult to turn down $776M of untaxed money (no personal income tax in Saudi Arabia) for just one year.
Saudi would not pay 1 billion for one year otherwise Mbappe would accept it instead of staying on the bunch for one year since anyway he want to go to Madrid next year, Saudi would give that amount of money only for a long contract

Having a high number of assists only means that you play up front of very high up. A 6 yard pass to your teammate counts as 1 assist, so does a grass cutting, weighted pass that tricks the entire defense. The way to make out if a player is a great passer is through stats kike chances createdn big chances vreated, progressive passes etc. Your knowledge of football is fucking non existent.

What you don't understand is what the saudis are offering is not related to the market or to the value of the player, it is extremly exagerrated because that's the only way they will get players out of europe and because they are filthy rich and it,s backed by the government not the teams, i'm not trying to be disrespectful but this is some very surface level journalism. Plus "RONALDI"?? Come on dude! My grandma knows who ronaldo is.
Stephen you got it wrong. The deal to sell him is 260 million the personal deal for him is almost 800 million dollars a year for 1 year. This means he makes almost 15 million dollars a week, tax free.
I agree to him declining cos he’s at his peak, plenty of time to play at a high level. When he’s older, then he can make the moves like Ronaldo and now Messi have done
I know Stephen a doesn’t like soccer, but I appreciate him talking about it. I hate watching the mls too. It’s like a different sport compared to watching the rest of Europe. Stephen a is exactly right about that.

The free kick by messi was an incredibly clutch shot that top goalies would struggle to stop, It was a special moment. Now if he scored a goal by just dribbling guys, that's expected.
messi has much more impressive free kicks. anyone who is good at free kicks couldve made the one that messi had made the other day. i think that the fact it was a last second goal made it more legendary than him actually making it. i knew he was making it the second i saw the distance and the angle.

Messi is 100 years old in football years. This is his retirement tour and the US should be happy that he graced the US by doing it in Miami. The league will be better off because of it. Other greats will follow suit.
The US gotta realize that football is the sport loved most in the world... The amount offered the french player is more that what the top 17 NBA players earn jointly in one year .. take that for data
Mbappe will go to Real Madrid and will be one of the greatest football player of all time. He’s just 24 and has 4 goals in two World Cup finals and more goals in the champions league than Messi and ronaldo at 24
If Mbappe takes it, I agree it'll change the landscape of not just Football, but all of sports. Athletes will want that status, that pay check... envy, it is what it is. But it seems that contracts make noise more than ever, and it's a good marketing these days.
@StephenA Offer to PSG is $332M yes. However, offer to Mbappe is rumored to be $700M for 1 year 🤑😅 My dude could earn $2M per day if he accepts the offer! Apparently the Saudi Club are ok to have him for a one year deal so that he happily go to his beloved Madrid next year. And on top of that, the $700M is Tax free!!!! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
First of all, a free kick is an individual performance, no matter the opponent in front. It’s great per se. Second point : he scored at the end of the game to make his team win. Third point : he is 36 years old; we dont even expect this level from him at this moment of his career. Final point : it’s his first game with the team. Everywhere, in every league, this free kick is greatness. The comparison whith Lebron/Basketball is not relevant at all…
The crazy thing you miss Stephen A is in those other leagues he played in including world cups they weren’t on his level either. And from that perspective whats interesting is can his presence on a basically random MLS club propel them to champions and even better a potentially world class club. That’s what’s to be seen from his presence here.
Nobody was ever on Messi's level. But he's 36 now. He completed football. He's nothing more to prove. The World Cup was his final peak. Miami shouldn't get it twisted. Messi is there to enjoy the last couple of years of his career, and some nice weather. He doesn't have any hunger to make Miami a world class side. The days of pressure are over for him now. These are the days of relaxation and enjoyment.
@@waynedonoghue4071true, but I also think that Messi is more competitive than people realize. I’m sure he’d love to win the MLS and he’ll go for it. I don’t think someone as gifted and hard-working as he is can suddenly turn off that drive and motivation just because he’s playing in the MLS.
Soon as i saw SA Smith on a football topic,man i had to leave the office to listen to his view on this….😂😂😂😂😂i am not even sure if he know the offside rule but still my guy with a fair perspective to sport issues especially the business deals 🔥🇿🇦🤞🏽
He is not his pick for all time great, he just resemble him because he was the first one after pele who scored in final as teen and total 4 goals and could have also replicate through his team by winning this world Cup as only 2nd team who won two wc in a row after brasil. That's it. Nothing more. As a player, he cannot be even near an all time goat player conversation because he doesn't have the game which can make him comparable to messi, pele, maradona, cruyff, de steffano.Although by his achievement through trophies and his consistency, he can force himself into top 10 just like cr7 did.and on money part, his market value is near 180-200 million which is already ridiculous but it's normal standard now because nowadays even average players with a good season get 90-100 million. Saudi offering him 200 million/year and the reported 700 million is an add up through commercial deals +100% image right to him. It's ridiculous but they will give same to halland as well like they were offering messi earlier even though his actual market value is 30 million. They just want big name to give validity and relevence to their league because that league is like 50+ ranked and obviously players would not go their to play football to make a name but for inflated money
Steven A, love you, but what Messi did by scoring that goal would have been spectacular in Europe, in the World Cup, in South America or in the G-League! but it's cool, you don't have to like the sport the world loves.
Stephen A: Football is not only king in Europe, it is king in the World!! That`s why they can name the winner of the World Cup a world champion! Not like you guys calling a national champion (NBA; NFL, MLB,..) World Champion. Which is pretty pathetic to begin with..
If lebron got offered that SAS would say “my brother, the goat, 330 million one year! What a strong black man role model he deserves every penny” But since its Saudi, this country media has to make it seem like blood money. No one can measure Saudi money its in the trillions. Soo 332 is a drop in the bucket. They do that for the people. This country gives our money to other countries while our people struggle. That’s the difference.
For the people? Nah, these are all vanity projects of the royals. People get slaughtered in SA for minor crimes. And yeah, you don't want to be a woman in SA. That's not a country that cares about people

Completely agree with his take on Messi. Its embarrassing to watch him in Miami, its like if Jordan had gone to play in china at the end of his career. I think Messi is the greatest of all time, but if he didn’t want to play in Europe anymore…he should’ve just retired.

The way to make out if a player is a great passer is through stats kike chances createdn big chances vreated, progressive passes etc. Your knowledge of football is fucking non existent. Haaland had 9 or 11 assists this season in the PL, doesnt mean hes anywhere close to being a great passer
Fam I don’t like how all these Americans all of a sudden are about football lol

This guy should never talk about football ever again.
a new meme is born, ronaldi
You have no idea of what you're talking about. The 300m transfer fee goes in the club's pocket.
The Saudis are Ballin' to the point where I am Speechless 😷🔥
What you don't understand is what the saudis are offering is not related to the market or to the value of the player, it is extremly exagerrated because that's the only way they will get players out of europe and because they are filthy rich and it,s backed by the government not the teams, i'm not trying to be disrespectful but this is some very surface level journalism. Plus "RONALDI"?? Come on dude! My grandma knows who ronaldo is.
Stephen you got it wrong. The deal to sell him is 260 million the personal deal for him is almost 800 million dollars a year for 1 year. This means he makes almost 15 million dollars a week, tax free.
He brought out the game out of his team mates!! Taylor and Martinez passing and scoring have leveled up 1000%!!
I’m not a soccer fan but a billion he better go for it!
It’s called football
I agree to him declining cos he’s at his peak, plenty of time to play at a high level. When he’s older, then he can make the moves like Ronaldo and now Messi have done
He declined
I'm taking a Billion. After the contract expires, then govand join Madrid
I know Stephen a doesn’t like soccer, but I appreciate him talking about it. I hate watching the mls too. It’s like a different sport compared to watching the rest of Europe. Stephen a is exactly right about that.
Be specific about "the rest of Europe"... MLS can't sit with the top 7-8 leagues, but you're not going to tell me with a straight face that MLS is worse than the Irish or Slovenian leagues, to say nothing of Liechtenstein and Gibraltar
"A different sport"? Dude, stop. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Did this man said "Ronaldi"? 😂😂😂 At least as an American he tried it😂😂😂😂
The free kick by messi was an incredibly clutch shot that top goalies would struggle to stop, It was a special moment. Now if he scored a goal by just dribbling guys, that's expected.
messi has much more impressive free kicks. anyone who is good at free kicks couldve made the one that messi had made the other day. i think that the fact it was a last second goal made it more legendary than him actually making it. i knew he was making it the second i saw the distance and the angle.
yeah especially because he never scores in the clutch, that wasn't expected.
Bro that was a clutch unbelievable kick.
Kylian Mbappe refused to accept the offer of 700 million euros after tax in the Saudi Super League. Your strength is currently the strongest. Going to the Saudi Super League will ruin your career. If you go to the Saudi Super League, your annual salary after tax should be 1.2 billion euros per year.
@@Orca472... Exactly. It wasn't even postage stamp. The quality of the fans here, not surprising. 💀👍
It’s crazy how these Americans don’t realize that football is 100x bigger than basketball and Messi is the greatest footballer ever in the best sport.
He really said "Reel Madrid" lmfao 💀😂
I don't get how SAS gets these gigs to speak on anything other than American football or the NBA.. he knows nothing about European football or MMA so stop having him speak on these things

Luv SAS he always tells the fact. Deserves to be the highest paid sports commentator and sports analyst

Yeah not get blown up by 5-yearolds strapped with IED
it use to be like that yrs ago. now there are much younger players
“In Europe soccer is king” dude soccer is king in the world I mean football
The moment SAS said Ronaldi, I’m dead. He’s not that guy.
Lmao. Americans explaining football ⚽️ is the funniest thing 🤣😭😩.
Stephen A was half sleep during this update 😴
Messi is 100 years old in football years. This is his retirement tour and the US should be happy that he graced the US by doing it in Miami.
The league will be better off because of it. Other greats will follow suit.
Love to see u talking about football man ❤🎉
The US gotta realize that football is the sport loved most in the world... The amount offered the french player is more that what the top 17 NBA players earn jointly in one year .. take that for data
Mbappe will go to Real Madrid and will be one of the greatest football player of all time. He’s just 24 and has 4 goals in two World Cup finals and more goals in the champions league than Messi and ronaldo at 24
I think you'll find it's now pronounced "Ronaldi".
Clearly you should stick to US sports lol
I wish he could make the move to Real Madrid sooner rather than later 😞
Keep the soccer news coming stephen A.. im here for it
No no let him stick to NFL n NBA news please
@@namata305if he learns more about the sport I’m down cus its amazing

I love this guy, even if he doesn't know what he talkin about, he's too passionate bout it.
First of all, a free kick is an individual performance, no matter the opponent in front. It’s great per se. Second point : he scored at the end of the game to make his team win. Third point : he is 36 years old; we dont even expect this level from him at this moment of his career. Final point : it’s his first game with the team. Everywhere, in every league, this free kick is greatness. The comparison whith Lebron/Basketball is not relevant at all…
0:36 “a few others” lmao Stephen A cant name no one else
It uplifts the sports and the league, look always on the positive side!
Succer? No it's Euro Football! In Europe ? It is the most popular sport in the world!
The crazy thing you miss Stephen A is in those other leagues he played in including world cups they weren’t on his level either. And from that perspective whats interesting is can his presence on a basically random MLS club propel them to champions and even better a potentially world class club. That’s what’s to be seen from his presence here.
They weren't on his level but on days messi was outshone by his counterparts
Nobody was ever on Messi's level. But he's 36 now. He completed football. He's nothing more to prove. The World Cup was his final peak.
Miami shouldn't get it twisted. Messi is there to enjoy the last couple of years of his career, and some nice weather. He doesn't have any hunger to make Miami a world class side. The days of pressure are over for him now. These are the days of relaxation and enjoyment.
@@waynedonoghue4071true, but I also think that Messi is more competitive than people realize. I’m sure he’d love to win the MLS and he’ll go for it. I don’t think someone as gifted and hard-working as he is can suddenly turn off that drive and motivation just because he’s playing in the MLS.
Soon as i saw SA Smith on a football topic,man i had to leave the office to listen to his view on this….😂😂😂😂😂i am not even sure if he know the offside rule but still my guy with a fair perspective to sport issues especially the business deals 🔥🇿🇦🤞🏽
Dude, offside would be like Meta physics for them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mbappe was the late Pelè's pick to surpass him as the 'all-time GOAT'.... not surprised he's getting these types of offers. They will get higher!
He is not his pick for all time great, he just resemble him because he was the first one after pele who scored in final as teen and total 4 goals and could have also replicate through his team by winning this world Cup as only 2nd team who won two wc in a row after brasil. That's it. Nothing more. As a player, he cannot be even near an all time goat player conversation because he doesn't have the game which can make him comparable to messi, pele, maradona, cruyff, de steffano.Although by his achievement through trophies and his consistency, he can force himself into top 10 just like cr7 did.and on money part, his market value is near 180-200 million which is already ridiculous but it's normal standard now because nowadays even average players with a good season get 90-100 million. Saudi offering him 200 million/year and the reported 700 million is an add up through commercial deals +100% image right to him. It's ridiculous but they will give same to halland as well like they were offering messi earlier even though his actual market value is 30 million. They just want big name to give validity and relevence to their league because that league is like 50+ ranked and obviously players would not go their to play football to make a name but for inflated money
He should’ve taken it and donated to Africa. Would’ve been a GOAT move.
Steven A, love you, but what Messi did by scoring that goal would have been spectacular in Europe, in the World Cup, in South America or in the G-League! but it's cool, you don't have to like the sport the world loves.
Yeah it would have been spectacular anywhere else except in the g-league, I’m not surprised. The competition is not on his level

Stephen A: Football is not only king in Europe, it is king in the World!! That`s why they can name the winner of the World Cup a world champion! Not like you guys calling a national champion (NBA; NFL, MLB,..) World Champion. Which is pretty pathetic to begin with..
Exactly 🎯
If lebron got offered that SAS would say “my brother, the goat, 330 million one year! What a strong black man role model he deserves every penny”
But since its Saudi, this country media has to make it seem like blood money. No one can measure Saudi money its in the trillions. Soo 332 is a drop in the bucket. They do that for the people. This country gives our money to other countries while our people struggle. That’s the difference.
I like a country where women actually have more rights than dogs and cats. And don't get killed for showing their face.
For the people? Nah, these are all vanity projects of the royals. People get slaughtered in SA for minor crimes. And yeah, you don't want to be a woman in SA. That's not a country that cares about people
2-5 years the Saudi will create a Basketball League and trust me they will sign all the stars in the NBA rn especially the way the Media is at the moment and how they be speaking about their Athlete, I wouldn’t be surprised and add No TAX eww.

This is what happens when someone who knows nothing about football talks about it.
Completely agree with his take on Messi. Its embarrassing to watch him in Miami, its like if Jordan had gone to play in china at the end of his career. I think Messi is the greatest of all time, but if he didn’t want to play in Europe anymore…he should’ve just retired.
Are you crazy, he is doing the right thing, he love to play football , why not winning more millions doing what you like the most, make absolute sense
@@mmor7380 of course he loves to play, but he could’ve still played in a competitive league…he’s still good enough and European teams still wanted him. Unlike Ronaldo, he had options. I’m sorry, but he was too good and too great to play in the MLS. It’s beneath him
@@neill3040 Could say the same thing about of bunch of other players like Ibrahimovic, Beckham, Drogba, Henry, etc. who did the same thing than Messi before. SAS and other people might see the MLS as the G-league but it obviously has more clout than that, otherwise all those greats would have stayed in Europe instead.
@@mmor7380 messi knew his career was over in europe..the last time he won a champions league was in 2015 and couldn't win it with mbappe and neymar next to him
@@neill3040 No one is pretending the MLS is as good as european leagues. But in MLS, and in Miami, he can live peacefully with his family, and play in a league that people will actually watch. He'll make a shit ton of money, and end his career surrounded by a few of his teammates that he's spent his entire career with. I don't think that is "beneath him"
Football money is outrageous...
As an American and lifelong SAS fan. I need to clear this up before we start talking about “soccer”:
1. If you don’t know what the top 5 leagues in Europe are called. Don’t speak on it.
2. Messi and Cristiano are the two best to ever do it. And if you don’t know how to pronounce “Ronaldo” and instead say “Ronaldi”. Don’t speak on it.
3. There is no #3.
4. I just remembered what #3 is.
5. So #3 is…. I would love it if SAS and co. would talk more about it… 🤷🏽♂️
No way he said ronaldi after getting it right first time💀
If somebody offers you a billion dollars..just fucking take it.
Did he actually say “ronaldi” I AM BAFFLED
