I saw this coming that Saudi Arabia wants SPL to be as competitive as other leagues and they also want to get all the attention that is needed worldwide. Many European players will be moving into Saudi since Gerrard is now a coach in Saudi. As for the local players they need to seat up and challenge themselves by improving in their performance for them to be able to fit in a with this superstars coming from various leagues. I see this as a big improvement in  SPL,I still look forward in the next three years to see Saudi Arabia clubs buying almost all the best players because they have what it takes to be successful with this plan.

That's why they pay high prices for their players, of course they want to attract the world's attention, no one wants to spend millions of dollars every week without a goal. If we talk about income I don't think it's worth what Al Nassr spent but in fact they still continue the contract meaning their target is still running so far, we know this mission is for the long period but I'm sure that after the target is reached the European players will leave by themselves, it's only a matter of time.

@BitcoinHunt3r with many superstars coming here it’s only a matter of time before they earn more from advertisements, broadcasting etc hence their investment is justified. @Sim_card the local player’s will definitely improve over a period of time but in the short run they’ll struggle to keep up and lastly who knows they may even be bought by the European club’s as they’ll already have the experience of playing against big superstars.

There are cloakrooms near the entrance where you need to deposit all the items that are not permitted inside (obviously the service is not free). My biggest issue is with the washrooms and toilets. Despite paying huge amounts for purchasing the ticket, even those who hold passes to the high-end areas of the stands have to deal with toilets that are not well maintained. And in case you are in for an ODI match, which lasts for 7-8 hours, it is impossible to not to use the toilet. I have heard many horror stories, and in the worst cases toilets were not fit for usage by humans.

Horror stories regarding the washroom in cricket stadiums  Huh You are making me scary.

By the way, have you yourself witnessed a bad experience because sometimes people just exaggerate while the reality is otherwise? I don't believe that in all the stadiums and in the sections of the stadium this would be a problem. Yeah, there might be some bad incidents but that should not be taken as feedback for the overall condition of the facilities in the stadium.

My point of view is that even a small issue is being presented as a big in the media and there must be hundreds of good facilities but people never talked about them.

@noormc5 luckily all stadiums I been around worldwide were clean and if you have a valid ticket then you can ask the toilet to be cleaned there is no need to suffer. Furthermore in a digital age if anyone encounters such toilets then all they need to do is upload the pics on Twitter and soon it’ll go trending and due to the fear of public backlash I expect stadiums toilets to be clean these days.

Sorsis got in touch. He says that he will soon process my payment and, as far as I understood from the conversation, the site will also be active soon.

Quote
I am sorry for disappearing.
There was a major situation outside of my control and i had to leave but i am partially available now and will sort out your payment soon. You can be sure of that

Just read this reply in the other thread, so that's a positive.

Its always sorsis that came up in the end then handle things revolve around Betnomi. Dude seems to be running everything alone and every other staff seems like an extra at this point

However we've been through this type of thing numerous time in the past, site operator promising everything is going to be okay then somehow they disappear afterward. I know few people that havent withdraw their poker winning before the site went offline though so I sincerely hope they are going to be back in business soon( or atleast until everyone got their money back )

@arallmuus while it’s true that many site owner’s disappear without a trace but I’m yet hopeful that people will recover their money as the communication line’s are once again open. Also, till it’s proved that there’s zero chance of recovery people should not give up and continue making noise on this topic and hopefully better sense will prevail and everyone will recover their dues.

It is better to keep talking about KYC mate so other new comers may learn about it and never be lazy checking the TOS and also not to blame the site once they have been asked about their documents and details.
also that would be a great help not only for the site but also for all players and incoming gamblers.

It would strech the topic too long as we have so many pages of conversation about this KYC implementation by Roobet so if we carry the same discussion without adding something informative to it it's no fun at all.The newcomers who registered over the site should be responsible to check on site information rather then looking it here.
Yes because almost all casino threads always discuss about KYC even though it is something that is not complicated, if they feel KYC is very annoying they should look for unlicensed casinos or some kind of KYC free decentralized casinos, most of the people discuss KYC because they are worried about their identity in misused, for example because casinos are hacked and their identities are traded by hackers but in the end KYC has become casino regulations that must be obeyed.

Honestly it's obviously very boring discussing KYC in every casino thread although it's also good to remind newbies in this forum to read TOS before gambling in licensed casinos and set rules about KYC. lest they complain again about KYC which has become a casino regulation.

@piebeyb I initially thought that the KYC discussion would die a slow death but I was horribly wrong because users are yet discussing it and I don’t think they’ll ever stop discussing it. Furthermore now we have two simple options 1) keep on repeating the same stuff about Roobet KYC or 2) move on and post about one’s Roobet activities whichever is helpful for this ANN should be adopted in my personal opinion.

As dwyane36 already mentioned, the price skyrocketed from 0.0042$ to 0.0075$ without apparent reason... Right now it is hovering around 0.005$ but it also shows it can be risky to bet on the price as the price can jump with almost 90% out of the blue.

It looks like there was a reason for such an unexpected pump, but I just didn't pay attention to it at the time. It turns out that there was an announcement back on July 2 that FUNToken has been added to the ChangeNOW service. Overall, it's good that there is another service for exchanging FUN tokens, but it's worth noting that there is quite a big spread at the moment. For example, if you want to buy FUN tokens for BTC, the exchange rate will be ~19 sats, while the rate for selling FUN tokens will only be ~15 sats.
Well it's a big pump for only a listening on this exchange. If it's the main reason, the market had overreacted IMO and I'm not surprised by the market correction which happened lately. FUN is around 17sats ($0.0051) now. Anyway thank you for the news.

The partnership with ChangeNOW had already happened last month so I don't think this was the reason for the pump. Their Medium page mentioned this partnership on June 7th.

In the last five days FUN's trading activity on Uniswap has dramatically increased. Most of these trades are associated with something called MEV bot. Trading volume has also increased substantially on Binance where many where worried about a possible delisting due to it being under $100k recently, but it is now over $700k. My guess is that arbitragers rushing in to buy cheap tokens is what caused the price to explode.

@FinneysTrueVision I too don’t know the exact reason but I’m happy that it got a pump because this pump shows the potential of this token and people should buy and keep it in their portfolio while it’s prices are yet low. Furthermore such pump’s are often seen in crypto market hence I’m not entirely surprised but wagering on it’s price in coming months is definitely a risky idea so think carefully before wagering on it’s prices.

Jus checked the odds for NBA summer league and I am shocked how bad they are.

This is pure robbery! Compared to a site like bet365 these odds are almost 10% worse, on both sides of the match, this is crazy.

~~snipped~~

You guys should do better. With this odds provider and robbery mindset u cant motivate people to place bets there.
But since the sports book is so bad anyway we all know they just want casino players.

Yea, I have read a forum thread on this subject a while ago and I also started to compare the odds between different casinos and it was quite clear that there are some skimming going on... even if it is negligible to some people. (1% to %10)

If you are a professional gambler, you will look for the casino with the better odds, so things like this will turn people away from Stake, if they look much deeper into the differences in the odds that are provided.

I do not care.... I look at all the other bonuses and promotions that are offered with the money that they might gain from that and it cancels the small margin that it differs.    Tongue

@Kakmakr correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Stake too using a third party provider and many times these providers reduce the odds and in that scenario one can’t blame Stake right? Furthermore I usually wager small bets only and on Stake I used to wager money from my free spins and bonuses so I never really checked other sites odds but whatever odds I had gotten I was happy because I knew that Stake is a legit casino and would pay me if I won.

^ Think I remember mentioning also that the new sportsbook definitely got splashed on with a lot more juice for boxing particularly. FJ used to be the very best at that, now not any longer, so yeah, it's clear it's just a different odds provider at play.

That said, I haven't taken the time to look at new promotions and I've always enjoyed the 4+1 promos (I know, I keep mentioning it but you know, reinforcing ha) so maybe August/September we get some good vibes back.

P.S. ADante, Tornike gets new reinforcements?


Hey there 👋


Yes, I'm a new member of the community team. After years of great service, Tornike has left the team actually, and now it will mostly be Tokash and me here. Nice to meet you Smiley


As I mentioned in the previous comment, the odds have increased on our new Sportsbook on a lot of sports, I think it will be more evident once the majority of the major sports are back from their summer break.

Regarding new promos, we do have a couple of promotions in the works to have ready for the upcoming sports season. Some new promotions are on the way, and also a couple of the old promotions you are more familiar with, like 4+1, should be making a comeback too.



- ADante

@FortuneJack Tornike will definitely be missed here but moving on is there any plan’s specifically for premier league as everyone loves wagering on this particular league. Furthermore will you extend the majestic 7 to other leagues too or it’ll continue for premier league only and I hope that this promotion will be back once the premier league begins.

There appears to be a conspicuous silence surrounding Sadio Mane's potential club transfer. It is my personal sentiment that if the club no longer intends to retain him, they should consider selling him. U
I think Mane will stay in Munich, there are indeed rumors that an Arab club is interested in buying Mane. but the rumor has reportedly been denied by the player's agent. they have never received an offer from an Arab club regarding Mane.
I think Mane can improve his form in the Bundesliga next season. this is a chance for him to show that he still has quality in a classy game. we know how sharp Mane was when he was at Liverpool with Salah. but the situation was very different when Mane moved to the Bundesliga giants.

@rozak I thought that Liverpool would try and get him back because he was playing very well with Salah but now it seems that Klopp isn’t keen on getting him back which leaves Mane with limited options only. Furthermore he isn’t a bad player and if Tuchel can work his magic on him then he’ll definitely perform very well in the Bundesliga but if Tuchel tells him he’ll not play much then he should consider leaving Bayern.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 07, 2023, 01:00:29 PM
Can't wait for the next match in Serie A, I see the schedule that is mentioned by TBD (to be discussed), Juventus will be my team of choice forever, I'm sure about that. I'm willing to bet on Juventus this season, and I'll show my bet later. And I hope that Juventus will sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Domenico Berardi soon, although nothing is certain yet.
I also hope that Juventus will be able to win the title next season because last season, unfortunately, they experienced the problem of deducting points which made them fail to compete for the league title and also failed to get a UCL ticket, but that will be a lesson for Juventus not to break anything because they are worried that points will be deducted again. that is not necessary, hope that Juventus will soon rise again next season because of last season's failure.

I also hope that with several players who leave Juventus, they can get a replacement soon, because of course Juventus need quality players, including young players, it is very important for performance as well as stamina, it doesn't have to be players who are a little old because that won't be good even though they have a lot of experience, but it's better quality young players. I also still support Juventus to win the league next season.

@piebeyb Juventus will definitely be in the title race but it’s too early to say if they’ll win it because Napoli is yet strong and unless they lose majority of their key player’s they’ll continue to dominate the league. Furthermore Juventus also needs a proper reshuffle but they should retain Pogba because if he’s remains fit throughout the season then he can definitely help them win the league.
550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 07, 2023, 09:39:22 AM
There are a great deal teams to keep an eye on next season; we just need to take our time making reasonable predictions about their fates. Real Madrid and Barcelona are unquestionably among the clubs that ought to perform more effectively; they are always first or second on the La Liga table. Sevilla is one of the underestimated clubs. I know Nervionenses doesn't focus their emphasis on La Liga, but rather on the Europa League, which they don't dismiss altogether, and they are considered an excellent competitive team in the Europa League.
When next season is underway then betting on Real Madrid and Barcelona will be the main choice, unfortunately we will rarely find a bet that has good value especially if it is in money line bet, while choosing another club might find better odds but it will be a little difficult predict whether these clubs will be able to win against their opponents, such as a club that performed well last season, it is not certain that they will perform as well again because they often display the opposite, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are quite stable even if they don't become champions but they are unlikely to experience many defeats
Regarding Sevilla, it's strange that they can be said to have always impressed in the Europa League but locally they haven't shown the same thing, will they be the same this season?

@Strongkored I’m not so sure about Real Madrid winning many game’s unless they can get a quality replacement for Benzema and with Carlo not being the head coach next season I’m not so sure that they’ll invest much now because the new coach will also need player’s who suit his style. Also, I won’t be surprised if Real Madrid lose more matches and thus I would advise people to not wager on them unless you see them perform really well.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 07, 2023, 05:20:58 AM
The most stable club in the Premier League is still Manchester City. Liverpool and Manchester United are trying to strengthen themselves. And adding more talented players to the team. But we are not sure if they will be able to perform consistently well in the coming season. Because new players need time to adapt to the team. And so I consider Manchester City as the favorite for next season's Premier League title.
Of course, Man City will be always the favorite team to win EPL title. They have the strongest squad, they almost have no weaknesses. They also proved it in the last season that they could win treble winners. Moreover, Man City has a winning mentality, they continue to struggle although Arsenal leads the table in the 1st half of the last season. This is something that Arsenal, Man United, or Liverpool don't have.  

However, since Arsenal, Man United, and Liverpool try to strengthen their squad during this transfer window. They may have a chance to beat Man City in the next season. We must know that EPL sometimes has a surprise in every season. We also don't exclude Newcastle, they are playing in UCL in the next season. They may try to compete for EPL title in the next season.

By the way, commonly new players need time to adapt. But it is not impossible for the new players to adapt faster. Moreover, some players may just join new clubs but they aren't moving to another league. It won't be so difficult for them to adapt since they are still playing in the same league.


Man City are the only contenders for the first place in the EPL... Last season, Arsenal managed to surprise everyone, but no miracle happened and they couldn't win the league... Apart from Man U and Liverpool, now there is Newcastle who are showing great results and even managed to finish in fourth place... I think next season the battle for the title will be just as interesting...

3meek I believe that City and Arsenal both have an equal chance of winning the league because Arsenal have bought some of the best available player’s and majority of their transfers have premier league experience hence I feel that they’ll be City’s main rival. Furthermore then you have Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle who’ll be battling it for the top 3 spots and depending on whom Chelsea buy even they could challenge for a top 4 spot but they definitely won’t be in the title race.

Today PSG announced their two new recruits namely Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio with free agent status. It is hoped that these two players will become reinforcements for the PSG squad and for sure they will immediately get a place in the starters. The duration of the contract given by PSG is also quite long and it looks like both of them will be ready to help PSG become a better team starting next season.

Milan Skriniar will replace Sergio Ramos who left PSG at the end of the season and Marco Asensio will replace Lionel Messi who also left for Inter Miami after his contract ended this season. If you look at the current condition of PSG's players, of course they won't have any problems and it's just a matter of how coach Luis Enrique can maximize the existing squad later.

@rendravolt the new coach of PSG has a very big mess on his hand thanks to Mbappe because the club has declared that he won’t be allowed to leave for free and the former had already declared that he won’t stay post this season which mean’s that it’s a very tricky mess and I’m not sure how the new coach will handle this distraction. Furthermore coming to these two player’s they both are experienced and they’ll definitely improve the team.

Medvedev, who just made his first match yesterday, will immediately compete today against Mannarino, he is still favored to win but Mannarino is a pretty good player so this will not be easy for Medvedev.

Mannarino is in very good form and loves playing on grass. But he has never been able to reach his full potential in Wimbledon and has never made it further than the last 16. Medvedev has also always had difficulties in Wimbledon and has never reached the quarter-finals too. Mannarino is a serious opponent and has the potential to win. He has last won against Medvedev in 's-Hertogenbosch.


@bct_ail Mannarino will have the psychological edge here as he’s been the better player whenever these two have competed against each other but I equally believe that Medvedev would like to win and prove why he’s yet the best. Furthermore it’s difficult to wager on this match and if you’re yet wagering then the past matches record favour wagering on Mannarino but my gut feeling is saying that Medvedev would have improved and will beat him so don’t wager too much on this match.

Red Bull is about to sign a deal with a really good Ferrari engineer. Mercedes was going to sign him instead but Red Bull intervened the deal swiftly after hearing about it. This means that he will bring some important data of Ferrari to Red Bull also. This can carry Red Bull to a more advantageous situation as they would have more knowledge about what they can do to get ahead of Ferrari more.

I don't know how stronger Red Bull will get really. They are already very solid and far ahead of Mercedes in the standings now. This is even Red Bull's limited upgraded version I mean. If they didn't get any punishment for last season then I can't imagine how much stronger they would have been.

Red Bull is desperate to dominate, huh? even they were willing to intervene in the agreement that should be done by Mercedes. this may be a fairly important agreement in the future for Red Bull in dominating the race.
And I don't think it would be surprising if Ferrari would be able to get Red Bull engineers to be able to fix some of their problems, like revenge, or would they not? let's see how Ferrari responds to this.

@retreat I don’t think that he can carry any secret over but he can suggest more improvements but currently I feel that it’s almost perfect for Redbull and thus I hope that they don’t break something that isn’t broken. Furthermore instead of revenge Ferrari needs to work on fixing their issue’s but if they indeed manage to poach rival engineers and those engineers end up fixing their issues then it’ll be a really sweet revenge.

To me, the rank of the favorites are:

  • 1 France
  • 2 Croatia
  • 3 Spain
  • 4 England
  • 5 Italy
  • 5 Germany
  • 5 Portugal
  • 6 Netherlands
  • 7 Belgium



I don't know.. are you sure that you want to place Croatia ahead of England? Unlike some of the other posters here, I usually don't underestimate Croatia. But I still believe that at this point France and England are the two strongest teams from the UEFA confederation. I would rather place Croatia at no.3. Spain and Italy are rebuilding their teams after the retirement of their senior players, so it will take some time to catch up with the top-3. BTW, Germany is now #15 in the FIFA rankings, which is three spots below Switzerland. I would think twice before placing them with Italy.

Croatia has become a team that has made a name for itself with its magnificent successes in recent years. They deserve to be in second place after France. Still, there is no big difference between them and England. England has better players from time to time. Also, Croatia has an older cast. After a few years, they can be an average team. Considering all these, England can take place in the ranking after France.

Honestly, in my opinion, the top 5 national teams have equal chances to become the new champions of Europe, with a slight advantage for France.
Spain has a very young team, and England has not yet shown its quality and so far they are unable to go all the way and finally win a trophy.
It seems to me that Germany is undeservedly high on this list, and I think that Croatia now has the necessary experience and knowledge to finally win a trophy.
I also have no confidence in the possibilities of the Netherlands and Belgium.

@Daniel91 Belgium and Netherlands have such a rich diversified squad of player’s and yet they struggle to compete and I just can’t understand why they’re unable to make use of their player’s. Furthermore I see nothing wrong with Croatia being placed second because they have shown that hunger to win and thus I expect them to compete fearlessly in the future too.
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: July 05, 2023, 11:06:45 AM
Has anyone heard about the offer being made to Gianluigi Buffon? He is 45-year old and currently represents one Serie B club in Italy. The offer from Saudi Professional League is reportedly worth £25 million. Buffon is currently playing his 28th season in senior club football. There is no conformation from the player, and he is reportedly analyzing his options. However, I believe that this is as good as it gets for someone like Buffon. Saudis are offering a good opportunity for him to secure his retirement package.

This is the first time I'm hearing about it and it seems that the Saudi league team is also very interested in getting the 45-year-old Buffon. Maybe the thoughts for the Saudi league team remain the same, namely to seek popularity from European players and it can be said that Buffon has been a living legend for many years in Europe.

The offer given by the Saudi league team is also considered very large for an old goalkeeper and I think the salary that Buffon receives is likely to be greater than the amount offered. Well, I think there's nothing wrong with Buffon accepting this offer because even in Italy he plays for a Serie B team and if he goes to the Saudi league of course he will be able to play more relaxed without any burden.

@rendravolt this is an insane offer for a keeper of his age and I understand that he’s a legend but yet they’re overpaying by a huge margin and he’s bound to accept this offer. Furthermore SPL are attracting the top player’s and as I have said that in coming year’s European league’s will struggle to get top player’s because most player’s will choose to play in SPL and earn more money.

^^ Such a shame, isn't it? The skill gap is still there but Associate nations keep demonstrating their willpower with an amazing performance.

Broadcasters will do that as they are in for profits but ICC? That's why these ICC guys don't deserve any respect and should be called out every time they give a virtue signal on spreading the game.

With 90% of the revenues coming from India, the TV rights holders are concerned that if by some chance India gets kicked out during group phase, then they will lose massive amounts of advertisement revenues. They are conveniently forgetting the fact that during the 2007 World Cup, it was Bangladesh which caused the exit of India (not one of the associates). Pakistan lost to Ireland and they exited as well. But then Ireland is also a test nation now. Also, rather than having 4 groups of 4 teams, they should have created 2 groups of 8 teams each.

@JSRAW I sincerely doubt that Indian cricket fan’s will call out ICC for this because they’ll be happy to see their country progress ahead but more team’s would definitely have added more fun to this tournament. Furthermore while it’s too early I’ll yet say it that team India ain’t invincible even on their home ground and unless the senior player’s start performing I doubt that they’ll win this tournament.

for every one or two series like the Ashes, we get 10 lop-sided ones.
Ashes is competitive only in England and the way the last 3 Ashes went in Australia, it looks like a disgrace to many (5-0, 4-0, 4-0).

So according to last decade's data and in the context of numbers or competitiveness, almost all series are lopsided. Except for Ind vs Aus (home or away), Ashes in England, and to some extent Last 2 Indian tours of England. Having said that we do get some gems here n there tho, a couple of recent thrillers from NZ vs ENG, NZ vs SL, BAN vs WI are fine examples.

I first started watching cricket in late 1990s. Back then, international matches were much more competitive. South Africa and West Indies were quite strong, and Pakistan was also capable of giving a tough fight to any of the pig-3 sides. Two and half decades have passed and now we are moving towards domination by India and Australia in test cricket. West Indies is on the same path as Kenya, while South Africa and Pakistan are no longer competitive against the pig-3. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have also fallen through the cracks. New Zealand is perhaps the only smaller team that has improved its performance, thanks to influx of players from South Africa.

@Sithara007 cricket has evolved a lot and while other boards didn’t improve their player’s conditions BCCI did well in that aspect by planning for the future and making sure that team India got to compete with the best team’s only. Furthermore the current team of Pakistan has lots of talent but they need solid tactical plans and better cooperation from the entire team if they’re to get results against the top sides especially in this format.

Siechem Madurai Panthers vs Lyca Kovai Kings In today's match Siechem Madurai Panthers won the toss and elected to bowl. Lyca Kovai Kings now came out to bat. Scored 96 runs in 9 overs. So far Lyca Kovai Kings have lost 2 strong wickets.S  Sujay was out for 4 runs in 5 balls. J Suresh Kumar was out for 64 runs in 29 balls. J Suresh Kumar had a great batting performance. If J Suresh Kumar had not batted so well, Lyca Kovai Kings team would have been under a lot of pressure. Siechem  Madurai Panthers bowled well at first but now Siechem Madurai Panthers team is bowling badly.

It is nice to see Tamil Nadu Premier League getting bigger and bigger with each passing season. It was first played in 2016, and this season is the 7th. In terms of revenues they are quite strong (as a result of the media rights deal with Star India and due to support from local sponsors). Other local leagues in India such as the Karnataka Premier League and the Maharashtra Premier League have struggled to stay afloat. If they allow 1-2 foreign players per team, then the revenues can be increased and there will be much more interest from the global audiences.

@Sithara007 I didn’t knew that there was demand for local leagues as BCCI doesn’t even consider player’s who perform well in Ranji tournaments hence I thought that these leagues would not have much viewership. Furthermore do you think that BCCI would be okay with them increasing the quota for foreign player’s because won’t it harm the local player’s and secondly will these clubs even be able to pay the same wages like IPL clubs pay for their foreign player’s?

If Madrid succeeds in bringing Mbappe from PSG, of course it will be a challenge for Manchester city if they meet again next season, even though I am a Manchester City supporter, of course Madrid will be the strongest club which might make it difficult for Manchester City to qualify to win the UCL next season. Mbappe's presence will make Madrid a dangerous club.

Manchester city has so far become the strongest club in Europe by getting the treble winner last season, that's why they have to be able to maintain their performance and consistency in playing in the UCL next season, even though there are several new players brought in to Manchester City who also need to adapt, at least quickly adapt to other players ,
Real Madrid are still trying to get Mbappe from PSG even though there has been no official news until now. Benzema departure has forced Real Madrid to focus on the striker position. Mbappe is a perfect fit to fill the position left by Benzema because of his quality, there is no need to doubt him. The problem is PSG are not ready to part with Mbappe even though he has refused a contract extension, PSG are still trying to keep Mbappe until his contract expires.

Real Madrid needs to find a solution in an uncertain situation, they must turn their attention to other players if the Mbappe transfer process is too complicated. The humiliating defeat to Manchester City in the second leg of the semi-finals last season left Real Madrid helpless at Manchester City headquarters, as the ruling team in the UCL Real Madrid must be able to compete again with Manchester City next season.

@reagansimms I don’t think that Real Madrid want him because of his surreal wage demands and I feel that they’ll target other player’s and PSG is hoping in that scenario he’ll commit to a longer deal. Furthermore Real Madrid needs to invest heavily otherwise they won’t win the CL this season too and so far I haven’t seen them make any big moves hence I’m hoping that they’ll buy some quality player’s before the transfer window closes.
