Kylian Mbappe has announced that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, ending a seven-year stay at the club.
The 25-year-old will depart at the end of his current contract, with Real Madrid expected to be his next destination, although that move is yet to be confirmed.
Mbappe will play his final game at the Parc des Princes against Toulouse on Sunday, with PSG finishing the season with away matches at Nice and Metz.
In a social media video, Mbappe said: ‘Hi everyone, it’s Kylian. I wanted to speak to you. I’ve always said I would speak to 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 emotions, 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 frow adna player of 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.
‘First of all I want to thank the teammates, all the teammates that I had. The coaches : Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Christophe Galtier and Luis Enrique.
‘The sports directors Leonardo and Luis Campos for always accompanying me. All the staff members at the club, those nobody see, the folks in the shadow whether it’s the physios, the intendants, the performance team, all the office staff members, the ones at campus, everybody. All these incredible people who give everything to the club and they deserve to have this recognition.’
