PSG star Mbappe donates all World Cup match fees to charity

PSG star Kylian Mbappe is donating his entire World Cup match fees to charity.

That amounts to £17,000-per-game (plus bonuses on top) and according to French daily L'Equipe, Mbappe is giving away the lot.

Mbappe is a patron of the Preiers de Cordees association, a charity which helps organise sports activities for children with disabilities.

It is understood he will be in line for a bumper bonus of £265,000 if France - who play Argentina in the last-16 of the competition - win the World Cup this summer.

Mbappe's generosity is said to have influenced his France team-mates to follow suit.
