It seems to me that Mbappe and his entourage have already crossed some boundaries in this game, and therefore I still weakly believe that this is a finely planned strategy to increase the salary of a football player. Rather, here we are dealing with a classic case when the situation has got out of control and is already developing not according to a pre-planned scenario. Moreover, the sheikhs from Saudi Arabia, with their space proposals, brought even more uncertainty into the situation and generally confused the cards of Mbappe's entourage.
He has a team of people who help him think, his intelligence has been to carefully choose the people who have to help him and the instructions he has given him. He thought very cleverly, for that matter he is.
I hold him very much in esteem.
