Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala seals the eighth place. Manchester City’s Phil Foden grabs the ninth spot. Placed at the last spot of number ten is PSG’s forward Kylian Mbappe with a reported market value of around $175.42 million.
However, fans would have been slightly shocked after seeing Mbappe being placed in the last spot. The primary reason behind that is that PSG’s number seven is currently serving the last year of his contract at the Ligue 1 bound club.
Mbappe has been linked with a move to clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United. However, with the transfer window approaching, and just one year left on his contract, PSG might be willing to settle for a slightly lower fee. This is because if they don’t attract any bid for the forward till his contract ends, they might be forced to let the player leave as a free agent.
On the other hand, Erling Haaland still has about three years and seven months remaining on his contract with Manchester City. So, the club would be under no pressure to sell their striker. If anyone does come in for the 23-year-old, the English club would want a very high fee to even consider letting the player leave.
A comparison between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe’s current contract
As per the reports, Erling Haaland’s current Manchester City contract goes on till June 2027. The Norweigan joined the Premier League club in July 2022. His current annual salary at Manchester City is reportedly marked around a figure of $24.42 million.
Considering the above figure, Haaland’s monthly wages at the club will approximately be $2.03 million. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe’s current contract at Les Parisiens expires in June 2024. The 25-year-old earns a reported annual salary figure of around $78.81 million at the club.
With his reported annual salary his monthly wages at the Ligue 1-based club would be $6.56 million. It can be inferred that in terms of the salary figure, the PSG forward beats City’s striker. But, Haaland sees himself well above the French international in terms of the current transfer value.
