PSG’s Kylian Mbappe is FIFA 22 cover star and faces off against Real Madrid

EA Sports have revealed their cover star for the newest edition of the football simulation series FIFA 22, ahead of the upcoming season.

FIFA 22 will feature Kylian Mbappe, wearing his Paris Saint-Germain colours, despite him being heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Many believe that this means he’s set to stay in the French capital for the next season, but a player has featured on the cover in one team’s shirt before, only to move clubs shortly after.

Cristiano Ronaldo was on the cover of FIFA 19 in a Real Madrid shirt, and then signed for Juventus that summer, with later copies of the game being edited to show him in the Bianconeri shirt.

It remains to be seen whether Mbappe will swap the blue of PSG for the white of Madrid ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.
