Mbappe seemed to be coming to the Bernabeu in 2022 on a free transfer , but in the end he shocked everyone by signing a contract extension with PSG. And with that contract expiring in the summer, it seems likely that Mbappe will finally move to the 14-time Champions League winners.
Kylian Mbappe’s playing time at the Parc des Princes team has not been as expected, although he has won 6 Ligue 1 championships and 3 French national cups since he arrived in 2018.
The goal-scoring machine, who is now considered one of the best players in the world, signed for PSG from AS Monaco in a transfer fee of £165 million. Mbappe could not help PSG achieve the most desired trophy, the Champions League, even though he sometimes played with two great stars Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Kylian Mbappe’s full statement
Hello everyone, I’m Kylian. I want to talk to you. I always said I would talk to you when the time came. So I want to inform you all that this is my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I won’t be renewing and the adventure will end in a few weeks. I will play my last match at Parc des Princes on Sunday.
It was a lot of emotions, for many years I had the opportunity and great honor to be a member of the biggest club in France, which allowed me to come here, to have my first experience in a club. set with a lot of pressure, to grow as a player by playing alongside some of the best players in history, some of the greatest champions, to meet many people, to grow as a man with all the glory and mistakes I have made.
First of all, I want to thank my teammates, all the teammates I have had. All coaches: Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Christophe Galtier and Luis Enrique. Sports director Leonardo and Luis Campos were always with me. All the staff at the club, the ones no one saw, the ones in the shadows. Whether it’s doctors, fitness coaches, all the office staff, people at the academy, everyone. All these wonderful people have given everything for the club and they deserve this recognition.
Despite everything that may happen externally, all the media hype surrounding the club, sometimes there are still some people who really love the club, who want to protect it and make it great. The club shines and it’s wonderful. And I know that with all these people, this club is in great hands.
It’s difficult, very difficult. And I never thought it would be so difficult to announce that I have to leave my country, France, Ligue 1, the championship that I have always known. But I think I need this. A new challenge after seven years. It was difficult and of course there are some people I want to thank most of all, the fans.
I know I can’t always live up to the love you guys gave me for seven years, but I never wanted to cheat, I always wanted to compete with results. PSG is a club that never leaves anyone indifferent. We can love it or hate it, I chose to love it. And of course, I’ve been through seven years of ups and downs, but I don’t regret signing for this prestigious club. It is a club that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I will tell everyone, all my life, that I had the opportunity to play here. And I will no longer be a player, but of course I will continue to follow every match, because it is a club that I have always been interested in and I will always closely follow their news.
I have my qualities and flaws but I have tried to show the best version of myself for the past seven years. But first I want to say thank you, because without all of you, I would never have experienced half of the emotions I have experienced. And just for that, I am grateful for life. Thank for all. I hope we will end this year with the final trophy. We will have beautiful moments for what is left and believe that “you” will stay in “my” heart forever.
Ici, c’est Paris. Goodbye.
