No one. He priced himself out of the normal football market.
Plus he is a precarious investment, his brand name isn’t worth nearly as much as some other top class players, and he is unlikely to be able to yield to any manager’s authority.
He should either stick with PSG or move to Saudi Arabia. Perhaps joining the MLS would be a good move for him.
Say what you will, but European football simply doesn’t need him. Any club with ambitions to win the CL can comfortably do it without him - and literally any other player on the planet woule be a better investment than Mbappe.
Whose brand name is worth more than Mbappe in todays football? He never had a problem with a manager or a scandal all is just rumours the guy barely has shown a glimse of a personality
I dunno, Messi, Ronaldo, Haaland, Salah, Kane, Bellingham? Probably a few dozen more.
Mbappe is a good player, and one of the very few who played in two World Cup finals at just 23 years of age.
But the way he handled Real Madrid’s interest a while back when it turned out that he just wanted a better contract with PSG was abysmal.
And there are plenty of YouTube videos showing him get annoyed when the entire team or their attacking plan isn’t about him.
He is paid obscene amounts of money and gets ridiculous bonuses, and also has contract clauses allowing him a say in club transfers. But all he ever wins are Ligue 1 titles.
He is incredibly talented but also incredibly rich and incredibly spoiled, which makes him incredibly expensive for any club. So expensive that the price and the trouble just can’t justify whatever he brings on the pitch.
Lmfao. Apart from Messi and Ronaldo who are non factors in European football none of those guys are bigger names than Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe played in one Champions League final - and he lost it.
Mbappe is playing in a league which is currently ranked 5th in Europe, barely above the Dutch league.
And the only reason anyone has ever heard of him were two World Cups where he played for France.
Mbappe is only 24 - but Haaland is 23 and he already has one Champions League title and one title in the strongest league in Europe - where he was also top goalscorer, with more goals than Mbappe in France.
His 2 WC campaigns make him an infinitely bigger name than Haaland lol. You’re completely deluded if u think Haaland is a bigger name than Mbappe. WC is much bigger than CL.
He’s the best player ITW, he’s worth every bit of trouble
True for 9/10 teams, the exception being clubs that have more money than sense. Chelsea spring to mind in particular. They're so fucked and haphazard, why not just spunk another 150mil plus wages on a prima donna superstar who will either take you to glory or run you into the ground? It's an easier risk to take if you're already in the mud financially and on the pitch like they are.
Splashing out on a guy like Mbappe just makes zero business sense. He is good, but there are loads of other players who are also good, and who cost way less and who have some resale value.
Besides, on the pitch, Mbappe’s greatest asset is his speed - and that is only going to get worse as years go by.
Whoever buys Mbappe now is only getting 3-4 more years of Mbappe in his prime. And even in his prime he never won the Champions League, he only managed to reach the final once.
