Paris: Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe, at 18 the most expensive French player of all time, said Sunday he wanted to “mark the history” of the French capital with his new club.
Mbappe, who hails from the northeastern Parisian suburb of Bondy, joined PSG from Monaco on a season-long loan last week in a deal that will make him the second most expensive footballer in history. His overall transfer fee could rise to 180 million euros (Dh790 million; $215 million) including add-ons, which would make Mbappe second only to new teammate Neymar on the all-time list of costliest transfers. “What I want to do is to really mark the history of my city. PSG was really the project that allowed me to carry on my progress while playing,” he added. (AFP)
