It stopped being an open secret and became a constant reality. Kylian Mbappé (Paris, France; 25 years old) will not renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of this season and will be free for the next one. Although the news was known, the official status was lacking and it came thanks to an announcement by the footballer through his social networks. There is no turning back.
“I wanted to talk to you. She had always said that she would talk to you when the time was right. I wanted to tell everyone that this is my last year at PSG. I’m not going to renew. I will end my adventure in a few weeks. I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday,” the French star began, aware that he will face Toulouse this weekend, a duel corresponding to a Ligue 1 that his team has already won. “There are many emotions, many years where I had the possibility and the great honor of being a member of the biggest club in France, which allowed me to get here, have my first experience in a club with so much pressure and clearly grow, along with some of the greatest champions in history. I have also grown as a person, with all the glory and mistakes I have made,” Mbappé stressed.
And continued. “First of all I want to thank all the teammates I had, all the coaches: Emery, Tuchel, Pochettino, Galtier and Luis Enrique. The sports directors Leonardo and Luis Campos, for always accompanying me. Thank you to all the members of the club that no one sees and who deserve due recognition. “I know that I leave the club in excellent hands,” mentioned the French international; “It’s hard, hard and I didn’t think it would be so difficult to announce that I was leaving my country and Ligue 1. But I need it, a new challenge after seven years. I know that I am not the most demonstrative player but I thank the fans for all the love they have given me for seven years. PSG is a club that does not leave you indifferent, you either love it or hate it. I have no regrets, it is a club that I will remember all my life. I won’t play here anymore but I will continue watching all the games, I will still continue. I tried to give my best, I thank life for all the emotions I experienced. Now we have to lift the last trophy. Ici c’est “Paris, goodbye.”
After Toulouse and the team eliminated by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Mbappé will also play in the French Cup final. And he will stop wearing the PSG shirt. Pursued by the big clubs, it also seems a matter of time before his next incorporation to Madrid is announced.
