KYLIAN MBAPPE has entered his physical prime as he prepares to move to Real Madrid this summer.

The 25-year-old has grown from a boy to a man in Ligue 1, first with Monaco and then with current side Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe debuted for Monaco as a skinny 16-year-old in 2015.

He even featured as a scrawny youngster against Tottenham at the old White Hart Lane that year, before fans realised what an icon he would become.

The following season, Mbappe really rose to superstardom as Monaco reached the Champions League semi-finals.

In a throwback snap shared earlier this week, an 18-year-old Mbappe could be seen chatting to a reporter after grabbing a Champions League brace against Borussia Dortmund in April 2017.

The starlet wore his Monaco shirt and shorts in the picture as well as a pair of sliders – and looked every bit the skinny teenager.

That season Mbappe announced himself to the world, scoring 26 goals in all competitions.

He subsequently moved to PSG that summer, and has continued to go from strength to strength as he’s grown into his body.

According to Goal, Mbappe eats six meals a day.

They claim that he begins his day by eating boiled eggs with avocado.

He then has a protein bar, before tucking into a tuna or chicken wrap with salad.

For his fourth meal, Mbappe has a protein shake accompanied by fresh fruit.

His fifth consists of chicken or fish served with brown rice.

And he then finishes with a protein shake.

Mbappe has seen his minutes begin to dwindle during the second half of this season, as PSG boss Luis Enrique prepares for his imminent exit.

After being hooked during a recent clash with Marseille, Mbappe could be seen rolling his eyes and shaking his head.

Enrique was unhappy with his forward’s response, telling Prime Video: “It’s the same music every single week, the same music… it’s so boring. I am the manager, I make the decisions every day, every week.

“I am going to do the same until my last day in Paris. I always try to find the best solution for my team. Even if you don’t (understand the decision), I don’t care. I don’t care at all.”

Mbappe did play the full 90 of PSG’s Champions League clash with Barcelona in mid-week, but was unable to stop his side from slumping to a 3-2 defeat.

His contract will expire at the end of the season, when he is expected to finally sign for Real Madrid.
