In a stunning announcement that has sent shockwaves through the football world, France's World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe has confirmed he will be leaving Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of the current season.
Mbappe made the declaration on Friday through a video posted on the social media platform X, stating, \"This is my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not stay on and I will end my adventure in a few weeks time.\"
The 25-year-old superstar joined PSG on loan from Monaco in 2017 with a hefty transfer fee of 180 million euros. His performance over the years solidified his place as one of the top talents in world football. In the summer of 2022, Mbappe renewed his contract with PSG, which included a 12-month extension clause for the 2024-25 season that only he could activate.
During his seven-year tenure with the French top-flight club, Mbappe has been instrumental in PSG's success, securing six league titles and three French Cup trophies. His prowess on the field was further highlighted as he played in back-to-back FIFA World Cup finals in Russia and Qatar, triumphing in the former.
The football community is abuzz with speculations about Mbappe's next move, with fans and analysts eagerly awaiting his future destination. Whether he will continue his ascent in another European giant or embark on a new challenge remains to be seen.
