Mesut Ozil’s career did not pick up following his move from Real Madrid in 2013. The German International signed a lucrative deal last year following the departure of Alexis Sanchez to make him the second-highest earner in the Premier League.

Under Unai Emery, the former Real Madrid midfielder has failed to take the field often as the club look to sell him and make way for other players.

Kylian Mbappe’s meteoric rise has seen him become one of the most in-demand footballers currently. The French International made a 180 million move from Monaco to PSG in the summer of 2018 and could leave the Parisians in a year.

His salary is likely to face a hike because of humungous talent. He’s seen as the next big thing in football.
