French politician reckons Liverpool, Real Madrid target Mbappe can leave for £30M

PSG striker Kylian Mbappe could be available for a cut-price £30m this summer.

That's according to French politician Daniel Cohn-Bendit.

The PSG forward's value in the market is estimated to be around £189m currently, as the 21-year-old is one of the most talented players of his generation.

But Cohn-Bendit, who is a member of the European Parliament, believes Mbappe's value will go down by more than £150m as a result of the economic crash following the coronavirus crisis.

"Tomorrow, Mbappe will cost €35-40m tops, not 200 million," Cohn-Bendit told Ouest-France.

"Who's going to be able to buy him?

"There's going to be a regulation and you will need to go further than salary caps.

"It's a reorganisation that's not only going to affect the wages of players, but also their image directs and advertising."

Liverpool and Real Madrid are eyeing Mbappe for the summer market.
