French international and World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe has finally confirmed his departure from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The 25-year-old announced his exit from PSG in an emotional farewell message to fans posted on social media, officially revealing his intention to leave the French champions.
The Frenchman, who is out of contract this summer, is expected to join Real Madrid.
The France World Cup winner said in a video released on social media: “I wanted to speak to you. I’ve always said that I would speak with you when the time comes, and so I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks.”
Mbappe’s PSG departure had been anticipated since February, and he is widely expected to join Real Madrid.
Reflecting on his time at PSG, Mbappe expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be part of the club, grow as a player, and experience success.
He hinted at a move to Real Madrid, stating, “It’s hard, and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that, to leave my country, France, Ligue 1, a championship I have always known, but I think I needed this – a new challenge after seven years.”
