Mbappe rejected the Saudis that Messi rejected, now the United States that Messi promised
On August 8, Beijing time, according to the "Times" reporter Duncan Castles, seeing the success brought about by signing Messi, the MLS has begun to explore the possibility of signing Mbappe.
It is reported that after successfully persuading Messi to give up returning to Barcelona and going to Saudi Arabia to seek gold and choose to join Miami International, especially the growth in various statistics brought about by his joining and the far-reaching impact behind it, the senior management of MLS It has begun to explore and create a brand new transaction structure to facilitate the signing of a superstar like Mbappe who is in his prime and has great business and influence.
This idea of MLS is not just a short-term whim, but also a major long-term move to change their business model.
When Paris Saint-Germain put Mbappe on the market last month, the MLS hoped that the deal could be concluded quickly, but it is a pity that they did not have a more clear "hands-on". Of course, at the same time, Saudi Arabia, which made a clear offer to Paris and even shocked the United States with a huge salary, was finally flatly rejected by Mbappé. Today, the American League regards this discussion of changing the form of the transaction and the possible agreement as a new starting point for chasing Mbappe and Mbappe-level football superstars.
If you want to persuade Mbappe to transfer to the MLS, the amount of money involved in this transaction is huge and will be bound by some of the current rules and regulations of the MLS. So they need to explore a new funding and deal structure, just like they did when they brought Beckham and Messi to the United States.
The arrival of Beckham finally brought them Miami International, and Messi's salary was borne by Apple, and he could also get a share of Miami International. It is conceivable that when Mbappe's joining the MLS becomes a reality, the existing system of this professional league will usher in another earthquake-level change.
A background of the times is that the United States will host the 2024 Copa America and the 2026 World Cup. It is conceivable that their investment in football will be unprecedented in recent years.
