Kylian Mbappe has officially announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, paving the way for a potential move to Real Madrid as his contract with PSG nears its end.
After much speculation surrounding his future, Mbappe confirmed his decision to seek a new challenge in an emotional farewell address, marking the end of his seven-year tenure with PSG.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid has secured an agreement with Mbappe since February, making his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu all but certain.
Despite still needing to finalize some details, it’s expected that Mbappe will be compensated handsomely, with reports indicating a staggering £171 million annual salary at PSG.
However, he is reportedly willing to accept a wage decrease at Real Madrid, with the club potentially offering him a signing-on fee exceeding £100 million.
Mbappe’s farewell appearance at Parc des Princes on Sunday will be a poignant moment as he bids adieu to the PSG faithful.
Reflecting on his time at the club, Mbappe expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be part of one of the largest French clubs and develop as a player alongside some of the greatest talents in football history.
Despite the challenges of making the announcement, Mbappe emphasized his need for a fresh challenge after seven years with PSG.
