Mbappe announced his departure from PSG.
Kylian Mbappe’s departure from PSG at the end of this season was known long ago. All that was left was the official announcement. This time the French star announced the decision himself by posting on social media.
Mbappe posted his farewell thoughts via Instagram, saying, in part, that he would not be staying beyond this season. Mbappe confirmed in a video posted on social media on Friday (May 10) that this would be his last season for PSG.
What did Mbappe said in the video?
In the video, Mbappe said, “Hi everyone, it’s Kylian. I wanted to speak to you,” Mbappe told fans. “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.”
“It’s a lot of emotions, many years where I had the chance and the great honor 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 grow as a player 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.”
Mbappe also mentions ‘his belief in PSG as a formidable club remains’
He also stated, “Despite everything that can happen on the outside, all this media hype that surrounds the club sometimes, there are some real club lovers who want to protect it and make it shine, and it’s great, and I know that with all these people, this club is in great hands.”
“It’s hard, and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that, to leave my country, France, the Ligue 1, a championship I have always known. But I think I needed this, a new challenge, after seven years.”

Mbappe’s journey in PSG
With this announcement, Mbappe ended his 7 year relationship with PSG. He moved to the club after leaving Monaco in 2017. Mbappe helped France win the 2018 World Cup and returned to record a hat trick in a 2022 World Cup loss to Argentina. Mbappe scored 255 goals in 306 matches for PSG, taking six Ligue 1 championships along the way. Mbappe (26 goals this season) is likely to win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot for a sixth consecutive season.
The star forward is going to end his PSG career with a match against Toulouse. PSG plays Sunday against Toulouse, Mbappe’s last appearance in front of the home crowd, and finishes with a French Cup final May 15 against Lyon.
Multiple reports have said Mbappe will land at Real Madrid. Though, the star forward did not say anything about where he is going after leaving PSG. But it is now very certain that he is moving to Real Madrid. In this case also only official announcement is left.
