Wait thats for a ticket or a pair of tickets?
 
Damn.

Idk if its because I'm in America but I don't like watching soccer live at stadiums. I rather watch at a pub or at home. This includes MLS, International, and European summer tours.

I'm sure that it would be the opposite if I lived in Europe.

SadBoi SadBoi You live in Europe? Are you Italian?

Here's the March article, which doesn't state it's a done deal despite the headline:

Mbappe chooses Real Madrid

Real Madrid target Mbappe intends to continue at Monaco

Zidane: Mbappe was about to sign for Real Madrid


REUTERS
The number one target of Real Madrid in the summer of 2017 is Monaco's Kylian Mbappe, and the striker has given his blessing to a possible transfer.


He wants to play for Los Blancos and so has been directed to representatives of the club who have also contacted his family concerning the move.

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are interested but if Real pay the asking price, the deal will be done to take the 18-year-old to Spain.

Madridista Mbappe

There are several factors why Mbappe doesn't hide a desire to play at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The first, and most important, is the presence of Zinedine Zidane because the coach has had his eye on the player for years, something that the youngster appreciates.

Secondly, the project that Real expect Mbappe to play the fullest part in, has seduced him.


The sports management of the club have done a complete follow-up of the striker during much of the season, monitoring him from the early stages.

He has been highlighted as a threat even when he has not managed to score or his team has been defeated, as they were against Juventus.

All those who have come to see him live, have been thrilled by his physical and football attributes.

Griezmann, Hazard, Dybala ...

The qualities and determination of Mbappe and the evolution of Zidane's own staff has determined that the first objective for Real in the summer is to sign the striker.


Though he could cost over 100 million euros, the reports on him point to a potentially greater value for his capacity to improve; being only 18 years old and already amongst the footballing elite.

Players like Eden Hazard or Paulo Dybala have been placed in the background because of the tremendous impression that Marco Asensio has made.

New season, new plans, new football ideas, new roles...even the Antoine Griezmann option has taken a back seat to Mbappe at the moment.

The competition for his signing is fierce, with Jose Mourinho knowing that he needs to reinforce an attack that will be without Wayne Rooney after this season.

In England, it has been suggested that Monaco have already turned down an offer of 100m euros from the Red Devils, but United will still fight for Mbappe's signature until it's an impossibility.

PSG and United are waiting in the wings

Paris Saint-Germain is the other great rival for his signing and in the case of the French team, they also have the option of signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

However, they believe that bagging Mbappe would be a huge statement of intent for French football.

If it was purely a financial move, PSG would be the team that would be ahead, but in this particular transfer operation, not everything is going to be about money.

Real hold the player in the highest esteem and his priority is to fulfil a dream of playing at the Bernabeu.

Dmitri Rybolovlev and Vadim Vasilyev

The president and general manager of the French championship leader, have managed to stabilise the club financially after a few years of uncontrolled spending.

After sales and salary control last summer, they don't have the need to sell and therefore have publicly stated that Mbappe is not for sale.

Nor are other stars of the team like Bernardo Silva, Mendy or Lemar.

But players know that in Monaco it's more complicated to reach star status, which they would be able to achieve easier at other teams.

Though Real assume that Mbappe could become the most expensive player in their history, that isn't a problem.
 
To summarize it

Mbappe has become RM's #1 transfer target over the likes of Griez, Dybala, and Hazard

Real is fine with breaking their record for Bale to get him

Mbappe himself wants to play for RM

It seems like the deal will happen only if Zidane stays. Looks like Mbappe really wants to work with him.
 
Yeah, a team like United would be perfect. We don't play for much and by the time he's ready to leave he'd help us finish 4th.
 
I think another season in Monaco would do him well, but Real hasn't made a marquee signing in years and he's their #1 target. They wanna break out da brinks truck this summer and there's only one place they want to send it to.

I think it may be a season too early, but I also think he can handle it. RM has been developing young players just fine, and Mbappe nearly made the move when he was only 15. He's had his mind on being a world footballer for some time.
