“I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks.”
These are the words of enigmatic footballer, Kylan Mbappe as he, on Friday, confirmed leaving PSG
His represents another biggest exit from the club after Messi bid them goodbye.
Although he added that ‘I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday,’ the declaration shows it is now over for the club and the France national.
He had missed the dream to help them clinch the Champions Club, during the period the French national team also lost the World Cup at a final showdown in which he almost singlehandedly eliminated Argentina.
The 25-year-old, who is likely to join Real Madrid, added:
“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,” said Mbappe.
“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,” he added.
“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.”
