pretty much the title, if Madrid isn’t in for him anymore, who could afford him?, and where could he be the most successful?

He has the potential to be one of the greatest but I don’t see that happening at psg, as he won’t really be taken seriously until he plays in an actually competitive league

I don’t see him playing for Man City, Madrid seems fed up with his transfer antics, so where to?

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.
