In August 2017, Mbappé joined Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on a loan deal that became permanent the following year for €180 million, making him the second-most-expensive player and the most expensive teenager in football history. At PSG, he continued to shine, winning six Ligue 1 titles, four Coupes de France, and becoming the club’s all-time leading goalscorer with 256 goals in 308 appearances by the time he left in 2024. He also led PSG to their first-ever Champions League final in 2020. Mbappé’s individual accolades include five Ligue 1 Player of the Year awards and six consecutive seasons as the league’s top scorer, a record. In the 2021–22 season, he made history as the first player to finish as both Ligue 1’s top scorer and top assist provider.
