Paris Saint-Germain football star Kylian Mbappe has announced that he will be departing from the team at the end of the current season when his contract expires.
His decision has been communicated to PSG, but the terms of his departure are yet to be fully agreed upon. It is expected that an official announcement will be made in the coming months once the situation is finalized.
Reports indicate that Mbappe had been favoring a move to Real Madrid, but influential members of his entourage have expressed reservations about the Spanish club’s offer, leading to a delay in the process. Furthermore, it has been known since early January that Madrid has been willing to offer terms to Mbappe, as his PSG contract is set to expire after June 30.
While Mbappe had previously signed a new two-year contract with PSG, including a 12-month extension clause for the 2024-25 season, only Mbappe himself could trigger that extension, not the club. However, the deadline for doing so passed on July 31 last year.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Mbappe has been a key player for PSG this season, featuring in 30 matches across all competitions and scoring an impressive 31 goals.
The French striker’s impending departure has generated significant interest in the football world, with fans eagerly awaiting news of his next move. It remains to be seen which club will secure the talents of one of the sport’s most promising young stars.
