Like there's any way FIFA are gonna do shit to PSG. They're owned by the government that bought the world cup, tey have FIFA in their pockets unfortunately. 

 

He's already shining in the league and there is no guarantee at all of a champions league but the money he makes and the value they could sell him for I can honestly easily see why they made that assessment and why they find him worth it. Players like him is what make a league grow and mbappe staying in the league is huge. The more people that watch ligue 1 the more expensive the TV rights become and the more money PSG get. 

 

When this first came out I thought the same this fee is ridiculous they can't justify it etc etc. But honestly after assessing it and digesting it for a few weeks I totally understand why they valued him at that much. The way the sport has become it's a lot to do with what goes on off of the pitch.

FIFA don't have a say in FFP UEFA do and the latter aren't owned by FIFA either they're one of the governing bodies of FIFA.

Things like this won't make Ligue 1 grow because as a league it lacks the full competitive draw of other top leagues no offence to L1 but it will be like one of these, believe me Neymar may shine there but he's facing inferior teams to before and because PSG will be the only ones spending such money it risks being like the Scottish League where one team will just end up dominating. This won't bring the French league recognition or make it grow it'll just make PSG stand out.

Nah the fee is still stupid no matter what, football is just inflated prices.

They're still the parent organisation and have power in the situation, nothing will happen to PSG that will affect them in any significant way, I can promise that. 

He is facing inferioir teams but he plays against competitive teams in the champions league so if they can build something there they've got something. Monaco are growing and have a lot of money and constantly find stars and Marseille are on the rise as well, in 10 years Ligue 1 could become a force again. 

I thought the same, but buying a player for 200 million, making a butt tonne of money off of him and improving your club competitively making you more money and after 4 years of service selling him for 100 million at least is pretty good business in the long run.
