Biography

Kylian Mbappe is called the main wunderkind of world football. At 17, the young forward has already become the champion of France and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. And the famous clubs of the planet fought for the 18-year-old young man. Then Kylian preferred the French “Paris Saint-Germain”, giving up for a while his childhood dream – to play side by side with Lionel Messi.

Childhood and youth

Kylian was born in Bondy, a suburb of Paris. It is difficult to classify the footballer as a specific nationality, because his parents represent different nations: his father is African, a native of Cameroon, and his mother has Arab roots, her ancestors immigrated to France from Algeria. Despite this, the footballer himself adheres to the traditional religion of France – Christianity. If you are interested in eSports, join the FaZe Clan team!

Mbappe’s family is athletic. His mother played handball at a professional level. His father Wilfried played football, and continued his career as a coach at the Bondy club. The adopted son of his parents, Kylian’s named brother Gires Kembo-Ekoko also connected his life with the game on the grass.

The young man’s biography was predetermined. Of course, young Kylian also showed talent for sports. Wilfried first trained his heir himself, and then arranged for him to attend the prestigious Clairefontaine Academy, which “forges” famous football players. Its walls produced, for example, world champion Thierry Henry and legendary Barcelona defender Lilian Thuram, who both ended their careers.

Dozens of kilometers separated his home and academy, but his father drove his son to training almost every day. The efforts were not in vain. The talented athlete was already trying to lure the Spanish Real to join their ranks at the age of 13. Zinedine Zidane himself tried to persuade him to accept the offer. However, the young man, at the insistence of his father, turned down the star of the football world. He continued his youth career in the glorious Monaco – the club signed a contract with the 15-year-old teenager.

Club football

Kylian Mbappe spent 2 years in the youth wing of Monaco, breaking the record of Thierry Henry, who once held the title of the youngest footballer in the history of the club. In his debut game, he gave an assist, and a year later scored the “youngest” goal. Kylian was not yet 17 when he began playing with adults, occupying the position of a striker. Long-legged, light (the athlete’s height is 178 cm, and his weight is 73 kg) and fast Kylian was mesmerizing in his game – he handled the ball with cat-like softness, easily got away from opponents, boldly went for experienced opponents. And most importantly – he never tired of delighting with goals. Mbappe, nicknamed Donatello for his external resemblance to the hero of the cartoon “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, soared to the Olympus of French football with the speed of a comet. Having entered the main team, he managed to score 26 goals in one season. The club significantly improved its statistics and, together with the talented athlete, became the leader of the country, knocking Paris Saint-Germain off the podium. And in the Champions League, Kylian lit up so much that people started talking about him in every corner of the world, millions of football fans began to subscribe to his Twitter page. The young forward pushed aside the brilliant Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi with a swing, and a few minutes before the whistle, he scored a goal against the opponent. During the entire competition, he scored 6 goals, including against the famous Gianluigi Buffon. As a result, he took second place after Karim Benzema in the ranking of the youngest footballers to ever score goals in the League.

By the summer of 2017, a fight for the footballer began. Mbappe was wanted by Barcelona, ​​London’s Arsenal and Real Madrid again. The list was completed by Paris Saint-Germain. This is the club that the talented striker chose. The reason is simple: he has decided not to leave his home country for now. At the end of August, Kylian was loaned to PSG, and a year later he signed a full contract with the club. The transfer cost € 180 million, and his salary was € 17.5 million per year. The footballer put on the uniform with number 29 and immediately became one of the team’s leaders. The coach assigned him to the right flank. In the domestic championship, he scored 4 goals against opponents and made the same number of assists. By December, Kylian had already reached a new record, scoring 10 goals in the Champions League. After Lucas Moura left, Mbappe changed his number to 7. Despite the improvement in statistics, in 2018 the athlete was sent off the field for the first time for a dispute with Teji Savanier, receiving a red card. Nevertheless, in the match against Lyon, Kylian again broke the record, scoring 4 goals in 13 minutes of play. France Football magazine noted the striker’s success with the Kopa trophy. A year later, the forward was shortlisted for the Best FIFA Men’s Player award.

The main transfer intrigue of the next season was Kylian’s possible transfer to Real Madrid. According to agent Bruno Satin, agreements between the player and the team’s management were reached back in the spring, but PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi denied the arguments about the athlete’s imminent departure. According to him, the French are not interested in selling their player or in prematurely terminating the contract. The athlete himself indirectly confirmed his intentions by tagging his favorite actress on social media, the Madrid Netflix performer Esther Exposito, after which Real Madrid fans linked this to the player’s desire to move to the Spanish team. However, there were rumors that Florentino Perez had been saving money for a year to buy a promising player. This was reported by Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos. Mbappe’s value at that time was high. Transfermarkt indicated the amount of € 160 million, but, according to European journalists, PSG valued the athlete at € 200 million. In 2022, talks about a possible transfer of the striker continued. By the way, PSG offered the player a new contract with an annual salary of € 100 million, which, if Kylian agreed, would place him at the top of the ranking of the highest paid football players. In addition, the French club promised Mbappe the title of team captain. Meanwhile, Real Madrid offered the athlete slightly different conditions. In March of the same year, they were announced – a salary of € 25 million, but at the same time there was an attractive signing bonus – about € 80 million.

While the intrigue about the summer transfer remained, Mbappe continued to work at PSG, demonstrating good results in the Champions League. At the end of the summer, Kylian decided to stay at the Parisian club. At the beginning of 2023, Kylian again became the author of a new achievement – for the first time, a PSG player scored 5 goals in an official match. This was a meeting with Pays de Cassel in the national cup. And in the summer, rumors about Mbappe’s transfer appeared again. And this time, the main contender to get an objectively strong player was Real Madrid. However, other clubs also kept their finger on the pulse. Despite this, they wrote about Mbappe’s desire to stay at PSG for another season, in order to later move to Real as a free agent. It also became known about a generous offer from Al-Hilal, the club from Saudi Arabia expressed its readiness to acquire the forward for € 300 million. On August 13, the Parisian club announced that Mbappe had returned to training after a temporary suspension caused by the player’s unwillingness to activate the option to extend the contract until the summer of 2025. Thus, the footballer decided to continue playing for the French team. In the voting for the Ballon d’Or, he took third place, losing only to Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland. At the end of autumn, Mbappe scored his first hat-trick of the season – against Reims. In November, he also scored his 300th career goal. He managed to achieve this result faster than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kylian Mbappe’s performance in the French national team

Since 2015, the young man began playing for youth teams, but did not distinguish himself there. It did not take long for an invitation to join the French national team. He scored his first goal in his new field in the summer of 2017 during the qualifying matches for the upcoming World Cup. The rising sports star joined the French national team and went to the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Training began with an injury. Two days before the start of the championship, Mbappe injured his ankle in a collision with Adil Rami, the team’s defender. Fortunately, everything turned out well – the injury was not serious.

The team ended up in Group C, which also included Australia, Denmark and Peru. On June 16, the French snatched a 2-1 victory over Australia. And on June 21, the “Les Tricolores” played Peru. Mbappe scored the only goal against the opponent, ensuring the team an early exit to the championship playoffs. Having successfully passed all the stages of the playoffs, the French reached the final. On July 15, 2018, the final of the World Cup was held in Luzhniki. The Croatian national team, which reached the final of the World Cup for the first time, lost to the French national team with a score of 2:4. The super-fast Kylian Mbappe, who scored 3 goals at the championship, was recognized as the best young player, and the Croatian Luka Modric was recognized as the best player of the 2018 World Cup.

Mbappe became a participant in Euro 2020, the matches of which were postponed to the summer of 2021. In the very first game with Germany, France won thanks to an own goal by German defender Mats Hummels. In addition to the anti-record – the third goal into his own goal during the international competition – the game remained in the memory of fans because of the dispute between Mbappe and Olivier Giroud before its start. In an interview with the Chelsea striker, Kylian heard a hint about his ineffectiveness as a team leader. The players managed to come to an understanding, leaving possible omissions behind the scenes.

In the fall of 2022, the athlete joined the French national team to participate in the World Cup, which this time was held in Qatar. He was recognized as the best player in the match against Australia, for which he was awarded a commemorative prize. By the time it became known that France had advanced to the World Cup playoffs, Mbappe was already called the main star of the tournament in the most powerful team. When the French reached the final, where their opponents were the Argentines, Kylian was again compared to Thierry Henry thanks to his achievements at the World Cup – in 6 matches he scored 5 goals and made 2 assists.

Despite the brilliant performance of Mbappe, who scored 2 goals in 2 minutes against the opponents and then scored a hat-trick in added time, the French lost the final in the post-match penalties. After the loss, Kylian was approached by French President Emmanuel Macron, who had flown in to support the team, who tried to support the footballer. As a result of the World Cup, Mbappe was recognized as the best scorer of the 2022 World Cup.

Personal life

The footballer is reluctant to let fans into his personal life. The press has a hard time finding interesting facts and juicy details. They said that Kylian once dated the granddaughter of American actress Grace Kelly. He met a girl named Camille Gottlieb at a royal reception. Photographers noted that the young relative of the Hollywood star did not take her eyes off the footballer. Then a joint photo appeared on the Internet, in which the couple’s faces were shining with smiles.

A little later, rumors began to spread in the press that the PSG forward had an affair with Bruno Marquezine, Neymar’s former passion. However, subsequent events dispelled the gossip – the girl made public her relationship with a completely different person.

 

After the World Cup, information about Mbappe’s affair with Miss France 2017 Alicia Aylis began to appear more and more often on the Internet. The girl arrived in Paris from South America. Now she is building a modeling career, it is known about her collaboration with Intimissimi and Nina Ricci. The beauty does not forget about education – she studies law and plans to become a lawyer.

In 2022, they wrote about the footballer’s affair with transgender model Ines Rau. The couple was spotted together at the Cannes Film Festival and while relaxing on a yacht. However, the celebrities did not give any comments on this matter.
