He would hope to keep his goal-scoring streak momentum when PSG face Bayern Munich in the reverse fixture of their Champions League knockout tie.

Mbappe's Nike deal

The 24-year-old receives £14 million per year, with the possibility of additional bonuses based on performance-related conditions, per Thick Accent.

Mbappe chalks PSG milestone

Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain's all-time top scorer with his 201st goal for the club as the Ligue 1 leaders warmed up for their crunch trip to Bayern Munich with a 4-2 win over Nantes on Saturday.

The France superstar had equalled Edinson Cavani's previous record mark of 200 goals with a brace in last week's win at Marseille and went one better by netting in stoppage time at the Parc des Princes.

Mbappe reached the record in just 247 appearances since signing from Monaco aged 18 in 2017.

Why Mbappe can't drive in France?

Away from goal-scoring feats, Sports Brief previously reported on Kylian Mbappe's love for luxury cars.

The 24-year-old has a garage full of lots of luxury automobiles, with the latest being the Ferrari 488 Pista, with a 720 hp V8, which costs around €500,000.

According to Marca, Mbappe cannot drive any of these luxury cars he owns because he has yet to get a driver’s license.
