According to the Portuguese, "Cristiano and Ronaldo were more or less just as decisive as Mbappe as his age, but later they managed to keep a high level of performance over the course of their careers, over a long time, not just a season."
However, the former winge ris adamant that Mbappe has all the tools in his locker to have a similar career to the greats. "I think Mbappe can do the same, but it always depends on professionalism. Then there are injuries, there are many factors. But with the quality that he has shown, he has everything to be able to enjoy a long career over 15 or 20 years," he insisted.
Meanwhile, Figo also spoke about Mbappe's strike partner, Neymar, saying: "Under normal circumstances I would say that he will develop into the best player in the world. For me, he is very impressive. But team success and trophies are also important, like what they do in the Champions League.
"If we only talk about his quality, he's a very impressive player. But I don't know if he will stay at PSG. If a player doesn't want to stay at a club, I don't think they will force them to stay. But I don't know what will happen. PSG are, obviously, very strong financially, like a nation. Anything is possible in football. Could he join Real Madrid? Well, eveything depends on the parties involved and what the market allows."
