The teenage sensation and now a FIFA World Cup winner, Kylian Mbappe has had the whole world talking about him. He was the most important player in the attacking department for his country and now questions have arisen about his club football career.
Thankfully for the Paris Saint-Germain fans, they can relax as their mercurial forward is going nowhere.
The French club who earned the services of Mbappe in 2017 after making him the second most expensive player in history.
Mbappe scored four goals in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup 2018. It was apparent that this stage didn’t make him shiver, rather he owned with unparalleled flamboyance.
If Kylian keeps equalling my records like this I may have to dust my boots off again… // Se o @KMbappe continuar a igualar os meus records assim, eu vou ter que tirar a poeira das minhas chuteiras novamente…#WorldCupFinal https://t.co/GYWfMxPn7p

After scoring the fourth goal for France in the final against Croatia en route to victory. His performances awarded him the FIFA Young Player crown.
Life has come quickly for Mbappe. Already an established player for both club and country, it will be difficult to believe he is still at the start of his career.
The talks of his transfer started to catch fire, as Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus. To fill his void at the current UEFA Champions League Champions, Mbappe’s name was most speculated.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is known to buy players who have done well in major international tournaments. After the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil, James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos were snapped up by the Spanish Giants.
However, Mbappe has committed himself to PSG and will be continuing to form a mouthwatering partnership with Neymar and Edinson Cavani. He scored 28 goals in the 2017/18 season and will be eyeing an even better campaign this time out. The future is bright for the young player who has already drawn comparisons with many greats of the game.
