Has told Juve he won’t be playing for them again and they’ve left him out of the squad for next game. Can only be a few clubs that would take him and City one of them. Never played in Germany so maybe Bayern could be another option. Other than that, no chance of going to Barca and Real are set on Mbappe. Interested to see him back in PL.

Really weird signing for a team that is built on fast pressing from the front.

As someone on the bbc podcast said he's a like a siege engine, he can be effective but needs to be wheeled into position first

Scored more than Lukaku last season in that league so however they get him in the side you’d think it’s a good signing, even if it’s for one season. Probably be the difference between winning the title.

In a team built for him. Juve want rid of him as they see him as not worth the money and Italian commentators say Juve are better without him

He's a machine , probably can carry on until he's close to 40 (like ibrahimavic )

I'd rather see him at man utd for the nostalgia more than anything

Not surprised Man United have ended up in the driving seat for this. Good in footballing terms for United, will score a crap tonne of goals and provides yet further winning mentality to their team. Genius really.

Did you see how much messi was said to have made PSG in his first few days

Unfortunately it's one of the biggest misconceptions ever. What do you think addidas/Nike etc pay the kit deals for to clubs?

Kit deals are not traditional sponsorship deals – they are licensing deals, which enable the kit manufacturers to use the club’s brand to sell branded apparel. Clubs receive an annual fee – for example, Manchester United receives £75 million per year from Adidas, and then 10-15% of the revenue the kit manufacturer generates from shirt sales. Adidas predicted they were going to make £1.5 billion, over the course of their deal with United. That isn't coming from a simple logo on the front of the shirt! At best United might get several million it definitely won't cover his transfer fee and salary!

It's also largely been proven that kit sales don't dramatically increase over the course of the season because of marquee signings at least not on the scale people make out. There of course will be some. Instead it's just that people who would likely have got the kit anyway get the marquee signings name on it. But given United have made two marquee signings already I doubt people are going to back for another shirt.
