Mbappe now reportedly earns €1.7 million (R29.6 million) in gross earnings a week on his new deal, as per Capology, the most of any player on the European continent, and just behind him is his Argentine teammate Lionel Messi.Messi arrived at PSG from Barcelona at the beginning of last season in a move that shocked the world.
