It was the big soap opera that had animated the end of last season: in which jersey would Kylian Mbappé evolve during the 2022/2023 season?

In total, Kylian Mbappé could therefore pocket 630 million euros if he stays at the capital club until the end of his commitment. On paper, this is the biggest contract signed by an athlete, surpassing that of his teammate Lionel Messi at FC Barcelona in 2017 (4 years, 555 M€). Nevertheless, with the controversies surrounding the tenfold champion of France, it seems less and less likely to see the 2018 world champion honor his contract until the end…
