    If getting paid the money Mbappe is paid is considered wasting your career, then sign me the fuck up to wasting my career

      The guy is already worth near a quarter billion, makes 72m per year, will get some sort of signing bonus at the next club he goes to, and is only 24.

      He’ll be a billionaire by the time he retires if he plays his cards right.

      “Wasted” is crazy - the man’s been milking his career like an absolute genius since day 1.

        Seeing how there are 0 football player billionaires, he has to play a lot of right cards.

        Yeah I get that people want him to be more passionate for the sport than cash, but if your passion is anything other than your current job then it makes sense to prioritise the bag

        I don’t blame him for taking the cash, although I would blame him if he doesn’t do anything good with it

          I think his family will milk him after he retires and will drain his money.

          Or he will be depressed if he doesn’t come up to expectations (like win at leat 3 CL, another WC, several Ballon d’Or) and waste it all

      When you win the WC at 19 being one of the superstars, you’re kind of expected a level of greatness that goes beyond just money.
