KYLIAN MBAPPE is officially the most-valuable player in the world – with Erling Haaland bizarrely not even in the top ten.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker, 22, is accelerating his charge towards becoming the greatest player on the planet.
Kylian Mbappe is the most-valuable player in the world ahead of Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling, according to KPMG
Mbappe recently obliterated Barcelona with a scintillating hat-trick in PSG’s 4-1 Champions League last-16 first-leg win at the Nou Camp.
And, according to KPMG’s Football Benchmark, Mbappe – already a World Cup winner – is comfortably the most valuable player in the world.
The French forward is valued at a staggering £159million, despite the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
That’s makes Mbappe over £50MILLION more valuable than any other player on Earth.
Mbappe is tipped to become the talisman as Real Madrid form a new ‘Galacticos’s squad in the coming months.
Los Blancos want to land the PSG star – who grew up supporting the LaLiga giants – this summer.
And they hope to pair him with Haaland in 2022 – with Real believed to have a deal in place with Dortmund allowing them to sign him for just £63m next year.
But 20-year-old Haaland – also a target for Chelsea and Manchester United – sits just 11th on the list despite his meteoric rise to prominence in recent months, valued at £95m.
