In a statement that surprised many, one of the French
politicians expected that the value of his country star,
Killian Mbappe, would decrease very significantly after
the end of the new Coronavirus crisis.
European Parliament member Daniel Cohen Bendit
claimed that Mbabi – estimated at 189 million pounds –
would drop by about 150 million pounds.
“Tomorrow, Mbappe will cost 35-40 million euros,
not 200 million,” Bendit was quoted by the British
newspaper “The Sun” as saying.
He added: “Who do you expect will be able to buy it with
that high price? There will be an organized regulation
and will affect even the maximum salary of players.”
He continued, “It is a reorganization that will affect not
only the players’ wages but also their image among the
fans and the value of their ads. ”
This comes after reports indicated that the players
’transfer fees will decrease by 90 million pounds,
in light of the clubs’ inability to make profits due to the
outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Although big clubs may have the financial means to deal
with difficult times ahead, they – according to experts –
are still quite ready to cut their budgets in the summer.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has put in place
mechanisms to reduce the blow and support the clubs,
as both the FIFA and the European Union seek to avoid
the collapse of many clubs, which may prevent the
resumption of competitions in major leagues and at the
level of European club championships.
In this regard, a sports director said to one of the clubs:
“In the past, the value of the players was exaggerated and
100 million euros were spent on any player, but things
will change and there will be no such contracts in
the future.”
