On Friday, he demanded a place in the news and came up again, which Marca already wrote about at the end of February: the Paris Saint-Germain forward already agreed on everything with the management of Real Madrid, and what’s more, he also signed his contract with the royal guard.

“I wanted to talk to you because I’ve always said that when the time comes, I’ll stand up for you.” In this spirit, I would like to inform you that this is my last season at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not renew my contract, and the adventure will end in a few weeks. I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, and it will be an extremely emotional occasion. In recent years, I have had the privilege of being a member of one of the best clubs in the world, as well as the biggest club in France. It was here that I experienced for the first time what it is like to play football under enormous pressure, and I also developed as a player after playing with the biggest legends of the sport. I never thought it would be so difficult to announce that I am leaving my country, France, and Ligue 1, but I think I need a new challenge after seven years. Thank you for everything, and let’s end the season with one last trophy – said Kylian Mbappé.
Mbappé and Al-Khelaifi have a frosty relationship
Mbappé thanked his current and former teammates, coaches, PSG’s current and former sporting directors, as well as the staff at the club and the press. However he purposely did not say thank you in his farewell video to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, with whom his vision is frozen… On Monday, the day before the second leg of the domestic BL semi-final against Dortmund (0-1, elimination…), all PSG players greeted the president, with the exception of Mbappé, who avoided meeting him .
The 25-year-old Mbappé signed for PSG from Monaco in 2017. He scored 255 goals in 306 matches with the Parisians. He became French champion six times, this year as well, and won the French Cup three times, but out of these three championships, he can also win four, because PSG will play Toulouse in the final at the Parc de Princes on Sunday. However, the real success they wanted in Paris did not come true, the French showcase team only reached second place in the Champions League, losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the 2020 final.
