for reference, a Saudi football team in Riyadh set the world record bid transfer bid for Kylian Mbappe at 332 million dollars. Mbappe’s deal will be around 776 million for the year.

Would be cheaper to pay the fans to attend the games
ESPN headlines tomorrow : NBA Superstar Giannis values money over winning NBA Championships. Time for Bucks to move on from Giannis!
what a great guy
dont give them ideas giannis
People trying to differentiate peoples mindset when it comes to huge amounts of money.
You offer anyone Β£100m theyβre gonna at least pause and contemplate it.
I don’t pay too much attention to soccer/football, should note that this offer has not been accepted.
so there’s still time for us to get 332,000,001 dollars together and outbid.
Heβs joking now but just wait until they start up the Saudi Basketball League. Imagine they offer 40 year old Lebron $1 billion to inaugurate the league lol
EDIT: Just found out the SBL is indeed already a thing. I dont think they care enough about basketball yet tho to invest heavily like other sports.
shit is so cringe, fuck the Saudis
Not long until we start seeing billion dollar contracts at this rate. Insane
This is the way. Mbappe can sit the bench in the Saudi League and let Giannis play. For instance Pogba looks exactly like tchouameni.
You know itβs summer when Mbappe has to decide between oil money and Madrid.
Is Twitter seriously renaming as X? Elon trying to speedrun bankruptcy?
Are there enough banks in Saudi Arabia for Giannis to spread his income and still get FDIC protection?

there’s been some circulating ideas here that Saudi money will be part of the next NBA expansion team. if that happens, you can bet there will be some money for NBA players that sign for these new expansion teams.
Fabrizio Romano: Here we go βοΈβ³
Giannis is such a character LMAO
Bro wants to be Mbapaypal so bad
ROFL!
[Even Mbappe laughed about it here and retweeted it (or Re-X it. I don’t know).](https://twitter.com/KMbappe/status/1683557510907678720)
No worse trend in sports then the saudis buying their way in the industry with their blood money.
Time to learn Arabic buddy
700 million for a year, a good NFL RB needs to run for 100 years to get that
No Giannis donβt bring their attention over here. Keep that away from us
Jokes aside, Giannis DOES look like Mbappeβ¦
Giannis is a gem
If Saudi Arabia ever decided to establish a legit Basketball league, their financial clout could attract the current all-stars effortlessly.
Given the American passion for $, a simple generous offer would attract these players to fly in on the first available flight.
Man really dislikes Chicagwaukee.
You know how ridiculous the money is when a nba max player is jealous lol
