PSG forward Kylian Mbappe is being tipped as a "£200 million footballer" amid Manchester United speculation.
Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has been linked to Manchester United and is thought to be worth more than £200 million.
According to the Mirror (via Manchester Evening News), the Red Devils are interested in signing the France international as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. The 37-year-old left the club in the middle of the season.
As a result, Erik ten Hag's offensive options have shrunk. As a result, the manager has admitted that the Old Trafford club were looking to strengthen their attack in January. However, in the current transfer window, a move for the 24-year-old is out of the question.
According to transfer insider Dean Jones, who spoke to GiveMeSport (h/t MEN), Mbappe would cost a lot of money for any team looking to buy him from PSG.
"Someone who's just scored a hat-trick in a World Cup final, it's the look of a £200m footballer. There's no denying it.
"You hear at the moment Jude Bellingham being talked about as perhaps a £130m footballer, use that as a marker if you like for Mbappe, who is the ultimate game-changing forward. So it'll be in the region of £200 million."
In the summer of 2017, the 24-year-old joined the Parisians from AS Monaco. Since then, he has established himself as one of the best forwards in the world, scoring and assisting on numerous occasions.The France international made 46 appearances for PSG in all competitions during the previous season. He found the back of the net 39 times and assisted on 26 others.
Mbappe was also an important member of Didier Deschaps' team at the 2022 World Cup. The 24-year-old scored a hat-trick in the final to help France overcome Argentina. Les Bleus, on the other hand, fell short in the penalty shootout.
Ten Hag currently has only one natural striker at his disposal in Anthony Martial. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old has struggled to stay fit for the majority of the season.

As a result, we clearly need to add another number nine to the squad. However, given our recent lack of success, it appears unlikely that a player of Mbappe's stature would want to join us at Old Trafford.
