Two years ago, the Kylian Mbappé epic at PSG had the world's media and Parisian club fans on tenterhooks. After an interminable wait, the French striker decided to stay a little longer, until 2024, and eventually 2025, to the delight of the capital. But by 2023, everything was already in doubt, as the player sent a letter stating that"he would not extend his contract beyond 2024" and would leave next year. In the end, he stayed, but his departure is set for this summer!
According to RMC, L'Equipe and AFP, Kylian Mbappé is finally heading for Real Madrid, who have been courting him for several years now. However, Paris-Saint-Germain had finally taken the measure of his expectations and proceeded with a record recruitment, with several of his French team-mates alongside him on the pitch, and a renowned coach. Last year, he had insisted on staying at the club for one season without extending beyond that.
But the Parisian club, which had spent a lot of money to keep Kylian Mbappé, couldn't see itself letting him go for free and would prefer to make a sale during the 2023 summer mercato. After a new soap opera lasting a few months and the player being put on one side, the two parties reached an agreement, and the striker leaves for free this year, on good terms with Nasser al-Khelaïfi, whom he warned before anyone else.
The player waited until the end of the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 to make his announcement, giving him the opportunity to leave Paris-Saint-Germain with this latest success in his pocket, who knows...
