WHAT MBAPPE SAID

“I’ve always said I would speak to you when this 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 said in a video statement posted on social media. I never imagined that announcing my departure from my nation would be this tough, emotionally charged, and demanding, but I believe that after seven years, I needed this fresh challenge.

“I never regret joining PSG—a prestigious club that never fails to leave an impression on everyone. I will always remember this club for the rest of my life. Even though I won’t be playing any more, I’ll still watch every game. I wanted to express my gratitude to you all since I could not have experienced even half of the feelings I did. Thank you everyone. I hope we can wrap off this year with one last trophy, and I will always hold a special place in my heart for you all.”

Consequently, what happened?

In advance of his anticipated transfer to Real Madrid, the France international has officially announced that he is leaving PSG this summer. The World Cup winner has been linked to the Spanish powerhouses for a long time, and it now seems likely that the transaction will close when the transfer market opens and his contract runs out.

THE LARGER IMAGE

Although Mbappe’s future has been uncertain for months, the player has now formally confirmed that he will be leaving the city of his birth. Last season, Real Madrid had a chance to capture the world-class player, but they decided to hold out until he became a free agency rather than comply with PSG’s high demand. He’ll probably join Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior in Madrid this summer as the Spanish powerhouses put together one of the best teams of the current era.

FUTURE PLANS FOR MBAPPE?

The most wanted player in Europe will officially become a free agent at the end of June, and everyone will be watching Real Madrid to see if they declare the 25-year-old will be joining them. In addition, Mbappe has obligations abroad this summer as he prepares to lead France to additional international medals at Euro 2024.
