Mbappe, who could not help the
Paris club achieve their Champions League dream, is set to join Spanish
champions Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old announced the
decision in a video released on his social media, external accounts.
“I’ve always said that I would
speak with you when the time comes,” Mbappe said.
“It’s my last year at Paris
St-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few
weeks.
“It’s a lot of emotions, many
years where I had the chance and the great honour to be a member of the biggest
French club, one of the best in the world.
“It 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.
“It’s hard and I never thought
it would be this difficult to announce that. But I think I needed this, a new
challenge, after seven years.”
Mbappe’s contract with PSG
expires in June and will play his final home game against Toulouse in Ligue 1
on Sunday before away fixtures against Nice and Metz and the French Cup final
against Lyon on 25 May.
