DBasia.news – The former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, thinks that Kylian Mbappe has a higher player price than Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Mbappe, 20 years old, has not yet wiped out trophies and successes like Ronaldo and Messi who have continued to compete for the past decade to be the best. In fact, Mbappe hasn’t won the Ballon d’Or like the five Ballon d’Or collections achieved by the two players.
But at this age, plus the success of winning the 2018 World Cup title – which Messi and Ronaldo have never achieved, and three local titles with PSG (Paris Saint-Germain), the Mbappe tag in the player transfer market can soar above Neymar, Messi, and Ronaldo.
European football lovers have seen the quality of Mbappe being played as a successor to Thierry Henry in France, then compared to the Brazilian icon Pele. Speed and instinct to score goals is the best ability.
Without a doubt, The Special One believes Mbappe will continue to be discussed in Europe in the next 10 years, as appropriate Messi and Ronaldo in the last 10 years. The price of the AS Monaco academy is at a very high price range.
“For players like Kylian Mbappe, when talking about the future, you don’t need to think about what will happen in the next five or 10 years. Focus on what is being done now, because he is a very extraordinary player,” Mourinho said, quoted from Goal.
“I think, if you look at his age now and also see the age of Messi and Ronaldo, both of them have been more than 30 years ago Neymar 27 years when you look at the transfer market, age will also be an important factor. Mbappe seems to be the most valuable player in the world,” he explained.
Messi will be 32 years old and Ronaldo is 34 years old. The time will come for them to declare hanging shoes or retiring. When that time arrives, Mbappe is expected to be the next ‘alien’.
It’s just that, Mbappe hasn’t found a rival like Ronaldo-Messi. Other players such as Eden Hazard, Neymar, Antoine Griezmann, Paulo Dybala, have not deserved to be in the same category as Ronaldo-Messi for not playing consistently.
