'Tomorrow, Mbappe will cost €40m at most' - French politician predicts massive transfer market changes

Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a politician who was a long-standing member of the European Parliament, says that football has been transformed by the coronavirus pandemic and that stars such as Kylian Mbappe will now be worth a fraction of their previous asking prices.

Mbappe had been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, with suggestions that the transfer fee could reach up to €300 million (£260m/$326m).

The Covid-19 pandemic, however, will transform the face of the game, according to the left-wing former MEP, who says that when sport restarts, it will do so amid a very different landscape.
