PSG FW Kylian Mbappe

We begin with the dream target of all dream targets, Kylian Mbappe. He is a familiar headliner on lists like these and a goal-scoring phenom. It is hard to believe he is still 22, looking at his resume and his supreme goal-scoring record.

Mbappe has found the back of the net 12 times in 13 Ligue 1 appearances this season, in spite of the fact that only nine of those appearances have been starts. The French international has added four assists, and he is becoming a more pronounced playmaker for the Parisians.

Signing Mbappe won’t be easy for a couple of reasons. Firstly, Mbappe will cost a lot of money both in terms of wages and transfer fee. Secondly, there are compelling reasons for Mbappe to stay in Paris, including new manager Mauricio Pochettino. And finally, PSG are not an easy club to negotiate with and do not sell their star players easily.

Mbappe is worth the wait, worth the dream, and worth the price. I have maintained for the last year that there is no single player who could profoundly make a difference for Real Madrid than Mbappe. The club needs personalities who can thrive in the spotlight and, moreover, players who can win a Champions League and win themselves a Ballon d’Or. Nobody else in the world has a more fitting profile than Kylian Mbappe.
