The speculations got ignited due to some reasons behind it as Mbappe is Messi’s teammate at PSG but he alongside Achraf Hakimi wasn’t there at the moment of Messi’s guard of honor. Notably, the Mbappe-Hakimi duo is currently in the USA.
Coming back to Kylian Mbappe’s brother Ethan, he is currently 16 years old and also a part of the youth setup in PSG. The latter was born and brought up in a family completely inclined toward football, he started his career for a local team AS Bondy almost seven to eight years back in the year 2015.
