“Kylian, he’s a great person,” general manager of Premiers de Cordee, Sebastien Ruffin, said to Le Parisien. “When his schedule allows it, he intervenes for us with pleasure. He has a very good relationship with children, he always finds the right words to encourage them. I sometimes even feel that he takes more pleasure to play with the kids than the kids themselves.”
Sports Illustrated reported that Mbappe earned about £17,000 (N8,131,928) per game with bonuses. The news outlet also reported that Mbappe will receive a £265,000 bonus, about N126,769,119 after France defeated Croatia 4-2 in the final Sunday.
