Kylian Mbappe has made it official: he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season to embark on a new journey with Real Madrid. In a heartfelt video shared on his social media, Mbappe expressed gratitude for his time at PSG, acknowledging the club's role in his career and the opportunities it provided.
Despite the difficulty of bidding farewell after seven years, he feels prepared for the next chapter, citing the need for a fresh challenge. PSG plans to honor Mbappe with a farewell ceremony during their last home league match against Toulouse, with the league title already secured. His final PSG appearance will be in the cup final against Lyon on May 25 before his anticipated move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe's potential move to Real Madrid has been a subject of speculation since 2022, when a last-minute contract renewal with PSG delayed the transfer. Despite lucrative offers, including a substantial proposal from Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, Mbappe opted to stay with PSG for one final season.
While PSG clinched another French Championship title this season, their failure to secure the Champions League crown led to disappointment, particularly after their semi-final exit at the hands of Dortmund. Mbappe's tenure at PSG has been illustrious, marked by record-breaking goal tallies, six domestic titles, and an appearance in the Champions League final in 2020.
Reports indicate that Mbappe has reached an agreement with Real Madrid for a five-year contract worth 20 million euros per season, accompanied by a significant signing bonus of 130 million euros.
His impending move to the Spanish powerhouse signifies a new phase in his career, where he will join a club renowned for its success on both domestic and European fronts.
As Mbappe prepares to bid adieu to PSG and embrace the challenges ahead, his decision reflects his ambition and desire to continue making an impact at the highest level of football.
