Mbappe: The amount of money in football is obscene Ligue 1 - PSG Speaking to RTS

In an interview with Swiss television channel RTS, Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe admitted that the amount of money that modern-day footballers earn is 'obscene'.?

The World Cup winner is currently on international duty with France, ahead of their clashes with Holland and Uruguay.

"It's really obscene for me as I come from quite a modest family," he said.

"It's true that it's obscene, but that's how the market is and how the world of football works.

"I'm not going to revolutionise football.

"You have to know how to respect the system and stay in your place too."

The 19-year-old also admitted that he wants to be remembered for being his own man and doesn't wish to be a clone of any other player.

"I don't want to be a copy [of any other player]," he continued.

"Just like the most experienced [of players], you have to make your own story for yourself and not be a copy of anyone.

"I think it's natural to have high self-esteem.

"I keep a childish side, being a little immature is not bad, there is so much pressure in football that happiness and having a bit of fun can help a little."

The former Monaco star finished by speaking about his positive relationship with French president Emmanuel Macron.

"He was really respectful and charming with us," he explained.

"He's a great man. I didn't get nervous when I entered the Elysee Palace.

"I never get nervous.

"I never get scared.

"I have a dream life and when you have that, you don't get scared."
