Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe will leave the club at the end of the season, and has told CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi of his decision. Now the French giants have confirmed the news to the media.
News broke on Thursday afternoon that Mbappe had told PSG he had made his mind up, and reportedly asked Al-Khelaifi not to make him any more offers as he decides his future. MD say that PSG have circulated a media note confirming that Mbappe wants to leave, with the following.
“The club confirms that Kylian has communicated his decision to leave PSG at the end of the 2024 season. The terms of the departure have not yet been fully agreed.”
Mbappe is the top target for Real Madrid this summer, and according to the latest reports from Madrid, they are confident of sealing a deal for the French superstar. Football España columnist has called it ‘a matter of weeks’ until an agreement is reached.
It looks as if Florentino Perez will finally end the arduous crusade for one of the most talented players on the planet. The PSG statement that the terms of his departure have not been agreed are certainly interesting, given he is out of contract and free to negotiate with whom he pleases. There have been reports of a gentleman’s agreement between Mbappe and Al-Khelaifi that the former would pardon a loyalty bonus of €80m that he is due. PSG’s line would suggest that agreement is not firm.
