The 23-year-old attacker won the league title this season with Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappe has scored 25 goals in Ligue 1 to top the top scorers list with one round to go. He can become the top scorer of the French league for the fourth season in a row.
There is a good chance that the French international will leave Paris. Mbappe’s contract is about to expire and he has been linked with Real Madrid for months. According to Spanish media, he has already signed a particularly lucrative contract with the Champions League finalist, but Mbappe has yet to reveal anything about his future plans.
A few days left
“Now is not the right time to say anything about that, but my decision is almost certain,” Mbappe said. “Before I join the national team in June, I will announce where my future lies. It will take a few more days until everything is official.”
His Italian teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma was chosen as the best goalkeeper at the gala of the players’ union UNFP. Karim Benzema of Real Madrid received the prize for best Frenchman abroad. Bruno Génésio of Stade Rennes was named best trainer. In addition to Donnarumma and Mbappé, the team of the year includes two PSG players: Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes.
