French football star Kylian Mbappe has announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of the season in a video shared on his social media accounts. Speculation is rife about a potential move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe confirmed his exit from PSG, thanking the club and its fans for their support during his time there. He expressed his emotions about leaving the club where he has grown as a player and a person, highlighting the pressure and experiences he faced.
In his message, Mbappe acknowledged his teammates, coaches, and staff at PSG, expressing gratitude for their support and guidance. He also mentioned the fans, recognizing their love and acknowledging that while he may not have always shown it, he appreciated their backing.
Despite his impending departure, Mbappe remains focused on finishing the season strongly with PSG, aiming to add to his impressive goal tally and potentially win another trophy with the club before his departure.
He said;
"Hi everyone, It's Kylian, I wanted to speak to you. I've always said that I would speak with you when the time comes and I wanted to announce to you It's my last year at PSG. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks, I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.""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."
"I want to thank all the teammates that I had, all the coaches: Emery, Tuchel, Pochettino, Galtier and Luis Enrique. The sports directors Leonardo and Luis Campos, all the staff members at the club, those nobody see, the folks in the shadow either it's the physios, the intendants, all the office staff members, the one at campus, everybody. They deserve to have this recognition," 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."
"It's difficult of course there are some people I want to thank above all, there are the fans. I know I'm not the most demonstrative player. I haven't always lived up to the love you all gave me for seven years but I never wanted to cheat, I have always wanted to be effective. PSG is a club that never leaves anyone indifferent. We can love it or hate it. It's a club that I will keep in my memory my entire life. I will tell everybody, my whole life, that I had the chance to play here," concluded the PSG star.
