Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has admitted that the amount of money involved in the highest level of football has become indecent.
The 19 year old became the second most expensive player in history when he completed a permanent transfer to PSG from Monaco this year for a reported fee of €180 million. His team-mate Neymar joined from Barcelona in 2017 for €222m in a deal that shook the European game and led to 4 more deals worth more than €100m,including Mbappe’s taking place over the next 12months.
Mbappe has conceded there are sums involved in the top tiers of the game that he could scarcely have imagined when he was growing up.
“It’s truly indecent for me, who comes from a fairly modest family,” he told RTS.
“It’s true that it’s indecent but the market is like that. The world of football works like that. I’m not going to revolutionize football. I’m in a system. You have to know how to respect it and to stay in place.”
Mbappe has been compared to Brazil great Pele, following a remarkable rise to stardom during the last three years.
