Last season, we learned that he was very close to a game-changing year-long deal with Saudi Arabia (and he wouldn’t be the first to do this, of course), but it didn’t quite happen.

Next year could be different, and so I’ve hand-picked three of the most valuable Kylian Mbappe cards currently available on the market. All of which will surge if the future pans out as expected.
