#3. Kingsley Coman | £58.5 million
Not many players can challenge the accomplishments that Kingsley Coman already has to his name. The 25-year-old has had a spectacular career so far, winning several trophies with different teams.
Graduating from the Paris Saint-Germain youth system, Coman made his way to the first team, becoming the youngest ever player for the French side. He spent a year with PSG before moving to Italian giants Juventus.
The youngster spent three years in Turin, but only featured sporadically for the Old Lady. In 2016, he was sent on a two-year loan to Bayern Munich for a reported £6 million. He impressed at the club, earning himself a permanent move to the Allianz Arena in 2017.
Still only 25, the youngster boasts an incredible collection of trophies. He has won the league title with his club every year for the last eight years. Having won domestic titles in France, Italy and Germany, Coman was also a part of the 2018 World Cup-winning France squad. He is currently valued at £58.5 million and will look to shine at Euro 2020.
#2. Raphael Varane | £63 million
Raphael Varane is one of the best defenders of this generation. The Frenchman has had a star-studded career, winning all the club competitions he has participated in.
A mainstay in the French defense since 2013, Varane is well known for his intelligent defending. Varane is one of a select few players to win the UEFA Champions League four times, featuring heavily in all of Real Madrid's victories in the 2010s. A regular starter for Los Blancos, Varane has played a key role for his club over the past ten years.
Varane has consistently impressed for Les Bleus as well and was part of the World Cup winning squad of 2018. He has always looked at home in the French defence and is a commanding centre-back of the highest caliber.
The 28-year-old is valued at £63 million and will look to add another winner's medal to his collection at Euro 2020.
#1. Kylian Mbappe | £144 million
Kylian Mbappe is arguably one of the best players in the world at the moment. The youngster has enjoyed an unbelievable career so far and is often touted as the best young player in football today.
At 22 years of age, Mbappe has one hell of a CV. He initially burst onto the scene with Monaco and won a league title with the French club. His brilliant attacking ability attracted the attention of PSG, who signed the youngster on loan in 2017. The loan was later turned into a transfer, with PSG paying a reported £124 million, plus £30 million in add-ons for Mbappe, making him the second-most expensive transfer in history after club teammate Neymar.
His club career since has been nothing short of phenomenal. Mbappe has won three league titles in the four years since transferring to PSG, scoring a mammoth 78 goals in 80 league appearances. His goalscoring numbers are truly world-class, with only the likes of Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski managing more than him in this time period.
His four years with Les Bleus have been magnificent as well. The then teenager was a key member of the 2018 World Cup squad. Mbappe burst onto the international stage with his performances against Argentina and Croatia cementing his status as one of modern football's deadliest players. The winger topped off a brilliant campaign with a goal in the final, becoming only the second teenager in history to do so after Pele.
Currently valued at a massive £144 million, it is safe to say that Mbappe is destined for greatness. Several European heavyweights are reportedly keeping tabs on the youngster and Euro 2020 could very well help decide where Mbappe's club future could lie.
