Monacos Vice-President Vadim Vasilyev believes that after the World Cup performance, Kyian Mbarpe, rival Paris Saint-Germain, is worth 250m to 300m euros and that he will win the UEFA gold “Topi” award. He says this high price comes as a result of prices raised for players during the transition to football.

Mbappe became famous in the world of football at the age of 17 during the Monaco Road to the Champions League, as well as the victory of League 1 title in 2017. Since then, the Frenchman has passed to Paris Saint-Germain for 135m euros, won three trophies with the new club, and won the gold medal at the World Cup with France.

“Mbappe is a phenomenon, he is the next winner of Golden Ball. I knew that before. Before leaving, he was at my house and I had a copy of the Golden Ball and photographed him to send him and told him that soon this award would be his”, Vasilyev said.

I think its value now is about 250-300m euros. Football has become an international sport, and no other sport risks popularity. It's going to grow even bigger, the best days have yet to come”
