Emotional Mbappé confirms he will leave PSG ahead of an expected move to Real Madrid
PARIS (AP) — Kylian Mbappé confirmed what the soccer world was long expecting to hear, announcing on Friday he is leaving Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a widely expected move to Real Madrid.
Mbappé said on X that his final home game for PSG will be on Sunday against Toulouse.
“I never thought it would be this difficult to leave my country,” he said in the video post. “I think I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
An emotional-looking Mbappé gulped and paused for breath as he addressed PSG’s fans.
“It’s a club I will keep in my mind for my entire life. I will tell everybody I had the chance to play here.” He added, “You will stay in my heart forever,” then winked and raised a thumb.
According to sports daily L’Equipe, Mbappé went to meet and dine with PSG ultras known as CUP (Paris Ultras Collective) shortly after making his announcement. They were set to discuss tributes to him at Parc des Princes on Sunday night.
