Kylian Mbappé is a French football player from Bondy. He put on his cleats from the age of 6 in his hometown. In 2015, he joined AS Monaco, where he made his Ligue 1 debut. Since 2017, Kylian Mbappé has been playing as a striker at Paris Saint-Germain.

This is the big question that all PSG supporters ask themselves. Free to commit where he wants next June, Frenchman Kylian Mbappé has always refused PSG's extension offers for several days, weeks and even months. A few months ago, the extension of Mbappé in Paris was almost impossible, the two parties having moved away drastically. But for a few weeks and several meetings, Paris would seem to regain control of the file by proposing in particular to the world champion to be the sports boss of the club. If it makes you smile, a few days ago, Karl Olive, mayor of Poissy and close to Emmanuel Macron, himself close to Kylian Mbappé, announced that number 7 would stay at PSG next season....

At the end of the contract in June 2022 with PSG, Kylian Mbappé could take over the management of the Spanish champion and one of the best clubs in the world, Real Madrid. For years now, the world champion has said he dreams of Real Madrid, the biggest club in the world according to him. During the UNFP trophy ceremony, the Frenchman admitted that his choice was made. "You have to respect all the parties. I'm also in a hurry, but it's not just me. It's over, details are missing, but it's over. My decision will be known soon." Marca then said: "At Real Madrid they remain confident and calm, and the future of the French footballer, already in white, is in no doubt. Neither the image rights issues nor the bonus figures the signing, nor the Frenchman's suitability for Ancelotti's scheme. None of the various issues that could cloud the end of the operation worries Real Madrid." For his part, Andres Onrubia, journalist for AS and Cadena SER told the radio: "In Paris, they are nervous. He will announce his decision before May 28. He could do it on Saturday in his last match with PSG I think it could be there because he can say goodbye to the fans and give a speech."

Born on December 20, 1998 in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, Kylian Mbappé comes from a family of athletes.

At the end of this World Cup, he received the trophy of the "best young player" of the competition by FIFA. Euro 2021 will have been less successful for the tricolor player. Kylian Mbappé was the 5th shooter for the France team during the penalty shootout against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the European Nations Championship. A difficult position to assume since, all the other shooters having succeeded. The French striker chose to shoot on the right of the Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer, author of a very big performance against the Blues and who released the decisive parade, confirming the elimination of the Blues. Kylian Mbappé remains today an indisputable starter with the Blues.

At the beginning of 2020, the CIES, the football observatory published the ranking of the most expensive players in the world. Kylian Mbappé tops this ranking with a valuation of 265 million euros.

37.6 km / h is the top speed at which Kylian Mbappé was flashed during the France-Germany match for Euro 2021. The French striker again reached a surprising speed, he who had already been flashed at 38km / h with PSG or during his sprint which resulted in a whistled penalty for the Blues during the memorable France-Argentina of 2018. Of course, the comparisons are going well. According to the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, which dissected the action, Kylian Mbappé would have sprinted at an average speed of 34 km/h with a peak of more than 37 km/h... But over a distance of only 30 m. Not enough to really support the comparison with the stars of athletics, even less with the world record holder Usain Bolt. In 2009, during the world record set by the Jamaican in Berlin (9.58), Usain Bolt had run at an average of 37.58 km / h to complete the victorious 100 meters but above all reached a peak at 44 km / h. So much faster than Kylian Mbappé who can be satisfied with running fast, very fast on a football field, crampons on his feet...
