Mbappe might have the LeBron leverage when it comes to his next move

PSG star has been linked with both Real Madrid and Liverpool

Kylian Mbappe’s next team is as yet undecided

Just days into the New Year and the talk around Kylian Mbappe and his future has already dominated the agenda.

Will he leave Paris Saint-Germain? Will he join Real Madrid? Will Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) sanction a remarkable deal to land the Frenchman and have him spearhead their charge into the next five years?

The powder has been kept dry by Mbappe’s camp, shown through a statement released to RMC Sport in France where it was stated that there was ‘no decision’ and ‘no discussions’ over the subject.

The wages for someone like Mbappe would be enormous, especially as he could be hitting the market as a free agent. With Financial Fair Play a hot topic and likely to continue to shape the European football landscape for years to come, how will these clubs continue to meet the demands of the very best players, those players who transcend the sport?

In this edition of the Bottom Line we explore how Mbappe might be part of that elite club where he could leverage his talent and superstardom into a unique investment opportunity that could pay off more handsomely than a bumper contract for five years.
