Mbappe is loaned they don't have to pay it for 18 months as per the agreement mate, and where did they pay for Neymars buyout? Neymar bought himself out of his contract with the fee he recieved to be a world cup ambassador for Qatar, corrupt as hell yes, but the books record it as what it is, PSG didn't spend a penny ontransfer fees for him.
They spent about 12m this summer in effect.

Sake. Free transfer.
Why weren't we in for him then, Bill?
That's why they invented pubs and beer and scantily dressed young ladies
I hear we've been planning a similar ruse around the Commonwealth games to get the Indian centre forward on a free transfer.

No they didn't mate, the Qatar government/royal family gave Neymar 198m to act as an ambassador for the Qatar world cup, with that he bought himself out of his contract at Barcelona, he then signed for PSG (who just so happen to be owned by a member of the Qatar government/royal family) on a free.
Corrupt yes obviously, within the rules - also yes, FFP shows him as a free signing though, nothing paid

Tell the BBC that then, every single other media outlet who covers sport, and even such publications as the Financial times then mate, as they all reported that as being exactly what happened, as have both the player, Barcelona and PSG
Incredible eh
He's not a number 10 why would we want him?

Like with everything mate at this type of financial level, it shows that the people setting the rules up are always a step behind the ones at the top trying to bend the rules or avoid being subject to them.
See City with the insane sponsorship deals and number of them - ultimately we will try similar things and arguably already have done with the USM sponsorship of a training ground we don't own - thus bypassing the rules on conflict of interest set up to stop such things happening. much lower level ofc but 'bending' the rules still the same.
Other clubs such as Spurs bend the rules on wages for example - the yearly increase allowed etc by giving players contracts which are absolutely loaded with huge addons but a relatively low base wage.

Was funny to see Barcelona spitting their dummy out though, they are meant to be one of the two teams that controls the transfer market, to be picked off by some little upstart in PSG made me giggle as did their cry arse reaction about it
