After bursting onto the scene with Monaco last season, Kylian Mbappe has quickly become one of the hottest properties in football.
His mesmerising displays in Ligue 1 and the Champions League were always going to ensure a scramble for his signature this summer, but few anticipated the transfer market blowing up to the point where any interested party will be expected to fork out a fee in the region of £130million to £160million for his services.
It’s a hefty price that would was have seemed unthinkable just a year ago – not least because the player in question was relatively unknown at the time – but should Manchester City pay it? Our friends at Football Whispers think they should.
City have already addressed several problem areas of their squad this summer, spending more than £200million to further shape the team in manager Pep Guardiola’s image.
