Kylian Mbappe and his transfer saga was a long and drawn-out affair with no clear end in sight. Meanwhile, Los Blancos appeared to be parting ways after a massive price tag demanded from the PSG star. Though months before this transfer pursuit, Mbappe ended up doing something more surprising than not accepting a dream move to Madrid. And that move was buying a luxurious supercar despite not knowing how to drive one.
Soccer stars are known for indulging in the finer things in life, including expensive cars, which fans view as a status symbol of their success. As a result, the French starlet was no different during his time with PSG. Mbappe spent a whopping $539,775 on a new car while already having a range of luxurious vehicles parked up in his garage.

However, the French international did not possess a driver?s license and relied on a chauffeur to drive him after he moved to Paris.
