Killing it like Kylian: can you imagine the earning potential?

Stories about underdogs are beautiful and touching, especially in sports. It's impressive to see the destiny unfold of a person who has been challenged at every step of his way yet managed to succeed through hard and constant work, proving to the whole world that those who want to make their dreams come true can do it.

In reality, however, success stories about underdogs are outnumbered by the number of talented youngsters who, instead of earning their place in the football's hall of fame, hang up their boots shortly after turning 18, abandoning a promising football career in favour of a shift job in a factory, just so they can pay a bank deposit and refill the fridge. The sad reality is that it's tough out there.

Today, we want to introduce you to an athlete who didn't go through hell to achieve success. Although he was born into an immigrant family, Kylian, from a very young age, was immersed in a world strongly influenced by sports, his father being a former professional soccer player who later became a coach and his mother a handball player. Talk about hitting the genetic lottery.

Kylian was quickly noticed when he was only 14 years old. He signed his first professional contract and received the sum of €400,000. In his 2016-2017 season, his annual salary was about €1 million. When he joined France's most famous football club, his income reached €17.5 million in the 2017-2018 season. In 2021, Kylian's salary amounted to €28.219.820.

Sponsors who support young talent through the Nordensa platform receive 3% of the wages of players who manage to sign contracts with a top European football club for five years.

We'll allow you to do the math: is it worth investing in a talented young football player, the equivalent of the cheapest ticket to a Premier League match?
