Mbappe heads top 10 Most Valuable Player in the world list

 

Kylian Mbappe is officially the most-valuable player in the world  with Erling Haaland bizarrely not even in the top ten.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker, 22, is accelerating his charge towards becoming the greatest player on the planet.

Mbappe recently obliterated Barcelona with a scintillating hat-trick in PSG’s 4-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg win at the Nou Camp.

And, according to KPMG’s Football Benchmark, Mbappe  already a World Cup winner  is comfortably the most valuable player in the world.

The French forward is valued at a staggering £159million, despite the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

That’s makes Mbappe over £50MILLION more valuable than any other player on Earth.

Mbappe is tipped to become the talisman as Real Madrid form a new ‘Galacticos’s squad in the coming months.

Los Blancos want to land the PSG star – who grew up supporting the LaLiga giants – this summer.

And they hope to pair him with Haaland in 2022 – with Real believed to have a deal in place with Dortmund allowing them to sign him for just £63m next year.

But 20-year-old Haaland – also a target for Chelsea and Manchester United – sits just 11th on the list despite his meteoric rise to prominence in recent months, valued at £95m.
