Paris – Kylian Mbappe has announced on social media that he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of the summer, with his last game at Parc des Princes scheduled for Sunday against Toulouse.
"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," Mbappé said in French on an Instagram post.
Having established himself as one of the world's top players, Mbappe has left an indelible mark during his seven-year tenure at PSG, a journey that began with his signing in 2017.
It seems that Mbappé's departure from PSG has opened the door for Real Madrid to finally secure the deal they have been pursuing for years to sign the French star.

Although it remains uncertain what Real Madrid is willing to offer Mbappé, sources suggest that the Spanish club is prepared to pay him a salary that will be twice as much as what he currently earns at PSG.
In 2017, Mbappe made history by signing a deal with Paris Saint-Germain worth a staggering 180 million euros, a record-breaking transfer fee for a teenage player at the time, as quoted from Yahoo Sports.
During his time with PSG, Mbappé won six Ligue 1 titles and three Coupes de France titles and helped the club reach its first-ever UEFA Champions League final in 2020.
Mbappé's illustrious career at PSG is marked by numerous accolades, including four Ligue 1 Player of the Year titles, the Golden Boot, the Silver Ball, and a finalist for the prestigious 2023 Ballon d'Or.
