Where next for Kylian Mbappe?

Having burst onto the scene as a teenager and helping France win the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Kylian Mbappe has always been a player destined for greatness. 

Joining PSG for over £200m that summer remains one of the biggest transfers of all time but his time in the French capital has come to an end and his future is being speculated over by both domestic and international betting sites. 

Alongside the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe remains one of the biggest names in world football, with his future at PSG having been under constant speculation for the past 5 years. 
 
With plenty of near misses and almost exits, it would seem that PSG and Mbappe are now ready to part ways, with the Frenchman announcing his intention to leave the club at the end of the season. 
 
The impact of that move on both PSG and Mbappe promises to be a seismic one and the futures of both the player and the club are part of a fascinating discussion for all levels of football punter. 
 
The Real Deal? 

For all of the financial pull PSG have and the prestige within French football, they remain a club with a question mark over them in the wider European thinking. 
 
PSG are yet to win the Champions League, despite the huge investment from Qatar and with big names such as Neymar, Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic having now left the club, they look to be operating in a different sphere. 
 
Kylian Mbappe has always been linked with a move to Real Madrid, who continue to lure some of the best young talent in world football to the Spanish capital. 
 
The absence of a star striker at Madrid could play into Mbappe’s hands too, as a move to the Bernabeu looks to be very much on the cards. 
 
Premier League calling? 

Whilst the links between Mbappe and Real Madrid stretch back almost a decade, in recent times the Frenchman has been rumoured to be interesting some Premier League sides with many online betting sites. 
 
Liverpool have been linked to Mbappe, as they look for someone to fill the prospective gap left by Mohamed Salah and how the reds would love to have him in their ranks. 
 
Manchester City have also been rumoured to be interested in Mbappe and it would seem that a hefty price tag wouldn’t be too off-putting for Pep Guardiola’s men. 
 
Panic at PSG? 

Not winning the Champions League won’t be troubling the king makers at PSG too much but the commercial impact of losing Mbappe looks set to be very costly. 
 
PSG have already adopted a different approach in recent times, recruiting younger, French talent – rather than buying big from abroad and they are still enjoying plenty of domestic success. 
 
Losing Mbappe will be costly, but it should also bring in a significant sum of money for the Parisians, who will be looking to reinvest wisely to protect the long-term future of the club.

French strike Kylian Mbappe shocked the footballing world this week, by announcing his intention to leave PSG after 6 years at the club. 

With speculation mounting from punters and online betting sites as to where he will move to next, his future promises to be one of the biggest sporting stories of 2024 and the potential suitors are lining up.
