Will Kylian Mbappe level PSG this summer?

 If Mbappe does leave PSG, it would need a record breaking transfer fee for any club to lure him outside of PSG. Former PSG sporting director Leonardo too took a subtle dig at the player. In an interview with  L’Equipe he said, "PSG existed before Mbappé and it’ll exist after him. "With his behavior over the past two years, Mbappé shows that he is not yet a player capable of really guiding a team. He is a great player, not a leader. He is a great scorer, not a creative. It’s hard to build a team around him.” It remains to be seen how Mbappe's future unfolds in this summer transfer window.
