    Or Vini

    Or Mbappé really, although he is kinda wasting his career farming for the bag

      It’s a bit like Grealish a couple years ago. Grown men fawning over him in a very weird “I want to kiss him but not in a gay way” type of manner

      If getting paid the money Mbappe is paid is considered wasting your career, then sign me the fuck up to wasting my career

        The guy is already worth near a quarter billion, makes 72m per year, will get some sort of signing bonus at the next club he goes to, and is only 24.

        He’ll be a billionaire by the time he retires if he plays his cards right.

        “Wasted” is crazy - the man’s been milking his career like an absolute genius since day 1.

          Seeing how there are 0 football player billionaires, he has to play a lot of right cards.

          Yeah I get that people want him to be more passionate for the sport than cash, but if your passion is anything other than your current job then it makes sense to prioritise the bag

          I don’t blame him for taking the cash, although I would blame him if he doesn’t do anything good with it

            I think his family will milk him after he retires and will drain his money.

            Or he will be depressed if he doesn’t come up to expectations (like win at leat 3 CL, another WC, several Ballon d’Or) and waste it all

        When you win the WC at 19 being one of the superstars, you’re kind of expected a level of greatness that goes beyond just money.

      Even if his local team is a mess, playing for his local team rather than going to RM is wasting his career? Football attitudes are ridiculous.

        He is a generational talent and is expected to win continental titles, several ballon d’or. Or at least compete for them. He has wasted 5 good years, and has no more than 5 at top physical form.

        He went to City? I dunno. It seemed to be at its peak in his last Villa season and during England’s Euros run.
