PSG agree €155m deal for Kylian Mbappe but move held up by FFP talks

Paris Saint-Germain have agreed a €155 million fee with Monaco for Kylian Mbappe and personal terms with the player, but have yet to convince Uefa that they will be able to comply with financial fair play rules if they sign the young Frenchman in the same window as paying €222 milllion for Neymar.
PSG, who finished second behind Monaco in the French league last season, have worked hard for the past week to try to convince their Ligue 1 rivals to let the talented 18-year-old go and while a deal has now been reached they have yet to get the transfer past Uefa.
Uefa is adamant that its FFP regulations work and the president, Aleksander Ceferin, said on Friday that it would punish clubs “severely” if they do not comply with the rules. “I am very serious,” he said on Friday. “We will try to help [the clubs understand the rules]. We will try to advise them on FFP. But if they don’t comply we will punish, and we will punish severely.
“I am not talking about [just] PSG. I am talking about every club in Europe. We are monitoring the situation, the transfer window is not closed yet. Trust me, we’re working on it.”
PSG were sanctioned for breaking FFP rules in 2014 after a sponsorship deal, arranged with Qatar’s tourist body, was deemed to have been of insufficient value to match the €180 million PSG received for it. Manchester City, also in 2014, were fined €60 million and told that instead of naming a squad of 25 players for the Champions League the following season they could name just 21 with eight of those homegrown.
FFP was introduced by Uefa seven years ago to stop clubs involved in European competition from spending more than they earn. The basic principle is that, beyond a small loss currently set at €5 million over three years, clubs’ outgoings must match their incomings. Since then, as well as exempting any expenditure on infrastructure or youth development, Uefa has also allowed owners to spend an additional €30 million of their own money over a rolling three-year period.
Monaco have already sold several members of their title-winning squad with Bernardo Silva, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Benjamin Mendy all joining Premier League clubs.

Rodrigo keeps Valencia resurgence rolling

Image
MADRID: Valencia maintained their stunning revival under Marcelino Garcia Toral to move to within a point of La Liga leaders Barcelona with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Alaves on Saturday thanks to Rodrigo’s penalty 24 minutes from time. Simeone Zaza also moved just two goals behind Lionel Messi as La Liga’s top scorer with nine when he blasted the visitors into the lead 10 minutes before half-time from Manchester United loanee Andreas Pereira’s cut-back. Alaves remain in the relegation zone with just three points from 10 matches, but they did manage just their fourth goal of the season in a spirited second-half showing. Alexis rose highest to head home Munir El Haddadi’s corner just four minutes after the break and only a brilliant save from Neto prevented El Haddadi from putting the visitors in front moments later. However, Alaves undid all their good work early in the second period with a moment of madness from defender Rodrigo Ely as he handled a cross inside hi...

Learn To Invest Like A Casino Rather Than A Gambler

The way that markets work can be explained using the analogy of sports betting. In Las Vegas, when you bet on a team, you cannot bet $100 to get $100 -- a straight up bet on who will win the game. Instead, the casino will either pay out at a different ratio or offer a bet on the point spread. The point spread basically means that the favored team must win by more than that spread for the bet to pay out. If you are betting on an NFL football game and the point spread is 3.5 points, you would lose that bet if the favored team wins but only by a three-point field goal. Think of it like playing a game of basketball with a younger sibling and spotting them a three-point handicap to make the game more even. If set fairly, that handicap would give you both an equal opportunity to win. Relating this back to the markets, stock prices function similarly to a point spread. At its essence, a stock’s price is the price at which a buyer and a seller agree to transact because the buyer believ...

Spurs stroll as Kane bags brace

Image
HUDDERSFIELD, United Kingdom: A Harry Kane masterclass ensured Tottenham cruised to a 4-0 victory against Huddersfield on Saturday. Tottenham beat Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia 3-0 courtesy of a brilliant Kane hat-trick on Tuesday and he was just as impressive in West Yorkshire, killing off Huddersfield inside the opening 20 minutes with two superbly taken goals. Ben Davies put Tottenham ahead early on and substitute Moussa Sissoko added a late fourth as the London side blew away David Wagner’s men. The early kick-off gave Tottenham a chance to keep in touch with the Premier League leaders and they gleefully took that opportunity against a Huddersfield team with plenty of heart but little real quality. Huddersfield have proven to be surprisingly durable in defence this term, keeping four clean sheets in their opening six league matches, but that was long forgotten during a 90 minutes they will want to forget. They were more than a match for Spurs early on as Tomm...
