A large hearted Kylian Mbappe has opted to donate his earnings from France’s triumphant 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign to charityNC.

 

According to L’Equipe, the 19 year old Paris Saint-Germain star, who scored as France beat Croatia 4-2 in Sunday’s final in Moscow, decided to give the money to Premiers de Cordee, a charity that offers sporting instruction to children who are hospitalised or have disabilities.

 

Per L’Equipe noted that  Mbappe will have earned around £17,000 per game in Russia, as well as a £265,000 bonus for winning the tournament.

 

As a result, his donation to Premiers de Cordee should amount to just under £400,000.

 

The organisation’s general manager, Sebastien Ruffin, showered praises and encomiums on the teenaged superstar, “Kylian, he’s a great person. When his schedule allows it, he intervenes for us with pleasure. He has a very good [relationship] with children, he always finds the right [words] to encourage them. I sometimes even feel that [he] takes more pleasure to play with the kids than the kids themselves.” he beamed with excitement.

Mbappe was one of the stars of Russia 2018.
