Mbappe Confirms PSG Exit Ahead of Madrid Move

Kylian Mbappe confirms Paris Saint-Germain exit; the Frenchman is out of contract this summer and is expected to join Real Madrid; Mbappe said: “I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at PSG. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks”

The 25-year-old officially announced his PSG exit on yesterday evening after it was revealed in February he would be leaving the French champions.

In a video released on social media, the France World Cup winner said: “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.

“I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday. It’s a lot of emotion; many years where I had the chance and the great honour to be a member of the biggest French club – one of the best in the world – which allowed me to arrive here, to have my first experience in a club with a lot of pressure; to grow as a player of course, by being alongside some of the best in history – some of the greatest champions; to meet a lot of people, to grow as a man as well, with all the glory and the mistakes I’ve made.”

Real Madrid hold a long-term interest in the 25-year-old forward, who would have to take a pay cut to join the Spanish side, even though they are prepared to make him the highest-paid player in their history.
