Kylian Mbappé’s transfer value drastically reduced after falling from top spot to fifth in latest rankings

It looks like the 2020-21 season hasn’t been all that favorable to Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé. During his entire tenure with the capital club, the 22-year-old has progressed greatly in his form but this season it looks as though he’s stagnated.

Mbappé has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances in Ligue 1.  Anyone might think that he’s having a good season by merely looking at the numbers but the France international has failed to score in the crucial fixtures in which PSG needed a win as they fight for Ligue 1.

Mbappé had failed to score against the elite clubs in Ligue 1, whether it’s Lille OSC or Olympique Lyonnais. Not forgetting also his UEFA Champions League’s struggles, where he only scored two goals in six fixtures and had a scoring frequency of 226 minutes.

The 22-year-old’s erratic form this year has caused his transfer value to drop. According to the CIES-Football Observatory, which ranks players’ market values from the five major leagues, Mbappé has seen his value drop from €265-million to €149.4 million, causing him to plunge down from first place to fifth place as Marcus Rashford, Erling Haaland, Bruno Fernandes, and Trent Alexander-Arnold now have higher values than the French forward.
