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
$776 Million for one year is a no brainer especially since he’s only 24. He can secure his money for one year of play and then go to Real Madrid where he’s always wanted to be. He’ll be a 25 year old superstar Billionaire in Real Madrid.

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
@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!!!! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
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.
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.
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… 🤷🏽♂️
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.
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 new expansion is coming in the next two years, and Vegas and Seattle are the cities expected to have new teams. NBA screams growth everywhere you look at it.
@@guizaoacc I’m talking bout views and rating compare to the past years it declined and sure basketball is the fastest growing sport in America and China but world wide as a sport compared to other sport it’s not trending like the others. example this upcoming FIBA Tournament will not surpass 2billion views and it’s a world wide tournament.
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.
@@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"
SA talking about football, I've seen it all now, if Mbape gets a billion dollars its because he's earned it. someone else could one day command 2billions.
One of beautiful things Americans invented is salary cap . ( i'm not sure how you write this ) . Financial fair play . Europe is like wild west - you can buy five players quality of Lebron . Imagine LA.Lakers buying this year Jokic , Jimmy Butler , and K.D . It's normal thing in Europe soccer ( European football ) league .
One of reasons is because quality of players don't guarantee success . You can attack 89 minutes and have many chances to score 5 goals other team is on defend mode but could have one chance , good kick on goal in 90 min. and you loose 0-1 . Soccer is only sport where David often beat's Goliath .
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
Probably right.This analyst dont know a thing about football.Comparing cruz Azul team with college team hahahah,common man.Mexican league is not top league in the world,but it is a very quality competition.Right back Yedlin played for Tottenham and Newcastle,top 1 league in the world.

Did this man said "Ronaldi"? 😂😂😂 At least as an American he tried it😂😂😂😂
The moment SAS said Ronaldi, I’m dead. He’s not that guy.
Stephen A is the goat of sports tv host
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".
Stephen A was half sleep during this update 😴
Luv SAS he always tells the fact. Deserves to be the highest paid sports commentator and sports analyst
Stephen A was hungry, thinking about Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauce 😂
Cristiano Ronaldi. WTF
Sounds Italian lol
Love to see u talking about football man ❤🎉
Stephen A mad cause he saw what mbappe was being offered and no nba player or nfl player will ever be offered that kind of contract
I wish he could make the move to Real Madrid sooner rather than later 😞
He brought out the game out of his team mates!! Taylor and Martinez passing and scoring have leveled up 1000%!!
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.
@@paulcalixte2223thank you that's what I'm saying there are like 50 plus leagues
@@paulcalixte2223 I mean, yeah, the MLS is probably better than the leagues you mentioned, but there are more way than 8 leagues above the MLS. The Premier League and the Championship (England), Bundesliga and Bundesliga.2 (Germany), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), Ligue 1 (France), Primeira Liga (Portugal), Süper Lig (Turkey), Eredivisie (Netherlands), the Swiss league, the Belgian league, Russian league and even the Greece league are all better than the MLS.

Messi is 35. He’s career is close to over. He always wanted to play in the US, it’s great for soccer!
the best singer in the world sings in spanish his name is luis miguel hes a mexican icon
@@marioantoniocrespoMexican92 and?? What exactly?
@@martyc909 Luis Miguel = a 22 time Grammy winner he’s the goat in Latin America music 🎵 he’s very famous in argentina & all of Latin America! He has been singing for 42 years now he has sold over 250 million albums worldwide with only Spanish language he’s a proud native Spanish speaker. He doesn’t need to sing in English language to be considered a legend. Luis Miguel is all ready most talented singer in all of Latin America history. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🎤🎤👏🏻
@@marioantoniocrespoMexican92 Messi doesn’t need to play in MLS to be a legend either. Dude is the GOAT of the largest sport on Earth. But at this point his wife wanted him to turn down Saudi Arabia and they look happy in Miami, so if he’s happy with his family, and his legacy is complete, let him be.
Europe is not a league 😂
He meant European leagues man go easy on him
Stephen A he’s not coming to the g league in his prime , it’s like wizards Jordan pulling up from the Center still needs praise 😂
He really said "Reel Madrid" lmfao 💀😂
You have no idea of what you're talking about. The 300m transfer fee goes in the club's pocket.
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
This guy should never talk about football ever again.
RONALDi🤣😂👀
Worst thing I’ve very heard
Idk how he mispronounced O 😂
Lnfaoooooo
I really think he did it on purpose , he said his name perfectly a minute prior
This is what happens when someone who knows nothing about football talks about it.
I gone with that offer
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
Superstars come to the MLS To receive a bag and live and move in peace.
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? you mean the world except the us
Facts
I love this guy, even if he doesn't know what he talkin about, he's too passionate bout it.
I billion a yr... Damn
Arab money 😎
@@UzumakiNagato Imagine bragging about wasting money and making it look cool when it's infact embarrassing. Only this generation of lemmings 🐹
Football money is outrageous...
@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!!!! 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
“In Europe soccer is king” dude soccer is king in the world I mean football

Lmao. Americans explaining football ⚽️ is the funniest thing 🤣😭😩.
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.
He declined it 🎉
What do you need 800 million for?...
Only football can command those type of money. You are delusional to think otherwise
@@ahfei6847lots
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.
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
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… 🤷🏽♂️
Mbappe is the reason I got into Soccer
God he’s so bad when he tries to talk anything other than basketball
Ok? Why you watching him still if he's so bad?
2:00 is THE highlight of this video.
Cristiano RONALDI!
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.
So funny to see americans talking about football 🤣😂
It uplifts the sports and the league, look always on the positive side!
He should’ve taken it and donated to Africa. Would’ve been a GOAT move.
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…
Succer? No it's Euro Football! In Europe ? It is the most popular sport in the world!
ronaldi😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just don't talk about soccer since you know nothing. Not being respectful just stick to Football and basketball
0:36 “a few others” lmao Stephen A cant name no one else
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.
Yep and it will be complete chaos when it happens
@@xacex6944 most definitely and USA entertainment businesses will hit a slippery slope especially the way The NBA Views and Rating been declining these past 5 years.
@@alphez2945 Declining? 🤣
NBA League Pass is the most subscribed sports app in the whole world.
The ratings are way up. Why do you think contracts and cap spaces keep going up?
Franchise valuations are up.
The Pelicans are the cheapest franchise, and they are worth over a billion dollars.
The new expansion is coming in the next two years, and Vegas and Seattle are the cities expected to have new teams.
NBA screams growth everywhere you look at it.
@@guizaoaccit's literally the fastest growing sport
@@guizaoacc I’m talking bout views and rating compare to the past years it declined and sure basketball is the fastest growing sport in America and China but world wide as a sport compared to other sport it’s not trending like the others. example this upcoming FIBA Tournament will not surpass 2billion views and it’s a world wide tournament.
No way he said ronaldi after getting it right first time💀
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
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"
The NBA better hope the Saudis don’t start taking a liking to basketball
If somebody offers you a billion dollars..just fucking take it.
SA talking about football, I've seen it all now, if Mbape gets a billion dollars its because he's earned it.
someone else could one day command 2billions.
One of beautiful things Americans invented is salary cap . ( i'm not sure how you write this ) . Financial fair play . Europe is like wild west - you can buy five players quality of Lebron . Imagine LA.Lakers buying this year Jokic , Jimmy Butler , and K.D .
It's normal thing in Europe soccer ( European football ) league .
One of reasons is because quality of players don't guarantee success . You can attack 89 minutes and have many chances to score 5 goals other team is on defend mode but could have one chance , good kick on goal in 90 min. and you loose 0-1 . Soccer is only sport where David often beat's Goliath .
Mbappe is a World Cup Winner.
This guy still on the comparing leagues narrative? I fell asleep
For those saying it's football not soccer, you wrong, the brits themselves chose that name.
I'm taking a Billion. After the contract expires, then govand join Madrid
Hateeeeeerrrr Messi already dominated Europe league and world cup what more is to do? money not the issue here.
Christiano Ronaldi? Whose that?😂😂
Money is destroying Football.
football is fine
Bro called the most famous man in the world "Ronaldi" 💀
2:01 THIS GUY REALLY JUST SAID "CRISTIANO RONALDI"???????????
Bro stop talking about football or do proper studies about the game 😂 still love though
Saudis offered 300M Euros for the transfer fees to the club and 700M a year to a player(tax free).
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
Says Ronaldo, then Ronaldi. 🤣
Facts ... Messi the 🐐
The Messi you have in MLS is comparable to Michael Jordan in the Washington Wizards.
Probably right.This analyst dont know a thing about football.Comparing cruz Azul team with college team hahahah,common man.Mexican league is not top league in the world,but it is a very quality competition.Right back Yedlin played for Tottenham and Newcastle,top 1 league in the world.
College players hahah
In G -League Jeremi Lin was greatest player haha
