Kylian Mbappe is currently the hottest young star in the world, sought after by a series of giant European football teams. However, the 18-year-old Monaco striker still maintains a very simple lifestyle. Mbappe is able to keep his feet on the ground thanks to his family roots “dedicated to his profession”.

Simple prodigy

Mbappe just turned 18 four months ago. He broke a series of notable records in Monaco as well as in European football. Mbappe is the youngest player to ever play for Monaco, the youngest player to ever score for Monaco and recently became the first player in history to score in all four matches in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. European giants are all hungry for the services of this French prodigy. If Mbappe bought a big house and a supercar, no one would be surprised.

But Mbappe is not like that. This star who is considered the new Thierry Henry still maintains an incredibly simple lifestyle. As revealed by journalist Florian Fieschi in L’Equipe newspaper, Mbappe is still at Monaco’s training center instead of moving out to a luxurious villa or apartment as everyone imagines. Fieschi said: “Now Mbappe can afford to buy his own private residence, no less than any other football star.

However, he still decided to continue living in Monaco’s training center. He sees for himself that in his current conditions, a luxurious life is not necessary for him. Now I only care about scoring as many goals as possible and helping Monaco fly as high as possible.

Currently, Mbappe spends half a month at Monaco’s training center, while his family is far away.

The remaining half of the month, when his parents and younger brother went to Monaco, he lived with his family in a small but cozy apartment near Louis II Stadium. Just like that, month after month, Mbappe and his family always maintain such a simple lifestyle.

Family fulcrum

Mbappe himself saw the downfall of many world football prodigies before him, budding stars who quickly faded away because they indulged in entertainment and enjoyment. But on the other hand, Mbappe was taught by his parents that career is the number one priority. Mbappe’s mother Fayza Lamari said: “It’s true that Kylian is being praised by many people. But I always remind my son that he is only 18 years old and his career has just begun.

Kylian still has to strive a lot.”Fayza Lamari is a French-Algerian who used to play handball professionally. Mbappe’s Cameroonian father Wilfried was his first agent and coach. Mbappe’s parents are both professional sports people, so from a young age he was educated thoroughly to always focus on his profession.

Mbappe’s parents have an adopted son, Jires Kembo-Ekoko, who is also a professional player. This 29-year-old striker spent 6 years playing for Rennes before moving to the UAE to play. Kembo-Ekoko may not make the same impact as Mbappe. But this foster brother is a shining example for Mbappe in terms of professionalism, always focusing on his profession.

Up to now, Mbappe has not bought a supercar like other football prodigies.

He didn’t even have a driver’s license yet, so he had to hitchhike from his mother or a member of Monaco. There is no more information, even just rumors, about Mbappe’s love life. Being intoxicated or fascinated is just a matter of being “addicted” to the football management game Football Manager. While at Monaco’s training center, Mbappe had only one request: his room be equipped with cable TV so he wouldn’t miss any top European matches.
