Kylian Mbappe was born on the 20th of December 1998, in Bondy Seine-Saint-Denis, in France.
He was born to parents with Africa heritage in them, his dad being from Cameroon and his mum from Algeria.
Kylian Mbappe actually has an unique story, unlike story of most football players where they come from a poor family, Kylian Mbappe parents were not too rich but they were comfortable, another unique thing is that all their family are either into football or athletic stuff, his dad his a football coach and his mum his a former handball player while his two brothers are also into football. So it wasn't really hard for his family, especially his dad who was his coach in AS bondy to notice his unique talent.

At just six his Dad already saw how talented he was and even used the word “Crack” to describe him because he was so good that he had to play with older boys because he was no match for his peers.

He got a big move to PSG after his negotiation with Real Madrid didn't work out, in a deal worth €145 millions and €35 millions as add ons, making him the most expensive teenager in the world.
