He should be the third best player when they finally awards the best players in the world after Lionel Messi, and Erling Haaland when they finally get to announce the Ballon d'or winner next year January.
I do not think Kylian Mbappe can be amongst the top 3 players this year best player award; he has fallen off radar thanks to Erling Haaland masterclass treble season with Manchester city and Lionel Messi triumphant worldcup campaign. Mbappe also had an excellent worldcup performance; but i do not think that willl be enough for him
Mbappe needs the Real Madrid move desperately, to push his media hypes and be more recognized for the world prized event.
In last few months, we have too much talk about him with how things will be for him it's also important right now his performance is on decline with his presence is also having not positive impact on his team's performance which is surely big issue other big players are doing impressive job like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane which are at the top of their respective leagues but here things are not ideal.
Mostly feeling he needs to move to Real Madrid which is suitable place, and can achieve many big things, but they are not ready to spend huge amount for this transfer which is another problem, but we also have few other options as well which can give good record to this legendary player which is looking for the best in the future.
