The ASTRONOMICAL figures in Mbappé's deal revealed
The French star gave an interview recently and some of the numbers in his newest contract came out
It seems like forever ago now, but there was actually a time where Kylian Mbappe's continuity at Paris Saint Germain was, at best, highly contested. Particularly after the Parisian outfit's elimination at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League, many thought the French star must've had enough with PSG and was ready to move to a more "established" club in Real Madrid.
