PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe, already a World Cup winner and global football sensation at just 24 years old, is being touted as a potential Ballon d'Or recipient in the future, reported by GOAL. The PSG forward, often linked with a move to Real Madrid, is seen as part of the next generation of football superstars set to compete for the prestigious award as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo approach the twilight of their illustrious careers.
Former Parisians playmaker Ronaldinho, himself a Ballon d'Or recipient in 2005, expressed his belief that Mbappe has the talent to secure the coveted individual honor. Ronaldinho remarked to AFP, “A great player like him can have the chance to win the Ballon d'Or for any team, but as I love PSG, I want him to do it with PSG.”

He played a pivotal role in France's journey to the brink of World Cup glory in 2022, contributing a hat-trick in the thrilling final. Additionally, Mbappe holds the title of PSG's all-time leading goalscorer, having netted 230 goals for the Ligue 1 giants. Looking ahead Mbappe might be up for big changes in his career.
