#1 Kylian Mbappe (Jan 2016: €3 million, Now: €75 million)
Increase in value: €72 million
The name on everybody’s lips at the moment, Monaco superstar Kylian Mbappe is destined to achieve great things in this sport. In January 2016, Mbappe was yet to pen his first professional contract having played only once for the senior side.
Now, the French forward is a subject of £100 million bids from various top clubs across Europe including Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United and PSG. Blessed with electric pace, stunning dribbling ability and an uncanny knack to find the goal, 18-year-old Mbappe has already shown his ability at the top level by his brilliant performances for Monaco in the Champions League.
Already a member of the senior France national team, Mbappe like his countryman Dembele has a very bright future ahead of him. If the Monaco man remains grounded and keeps performing at a similar level, he might well win multiple trophies and Ballon d’Ors in the coming years.
