After six successful years with PSG, Kylian Mbappe has officially communicated his intent to part ways with the club. PSG’s chief, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, made every effort to retain the French sensation’s services, including a substantial renegotiation offer exceeding $170 million. However, despite this loss, the Qatari entrepreneur remains appreciative of the circumstances of this outcome.

At the end of the season, the 25-year-old will bid farewell to the French capital as a free agent. While his next destination remains undisclosed, Al-Khelaifi has approved the desired move of the star soccer player. Finally, the saga has ended!

The highly scrutinized decision made by Kylian Mbappe became a topic of discussion on the Rothen S’enflamme show. During this broadcast, former PSG star Jerome Rothen shared, “The president appreciated that Mbappé made the announcement to him face-to-face.” Rothen further revealed on no contractual breach with the Parisians, allowing the Paris-born to depart the team.

In his words, “There will be no sporting sanction. Mbappé will be released at the end of the season.” This development is positive for the forward and also presents a golden opportunity for Real Madrid, who has been pursuing his acquisition since 2021.

Real Madrid shows no signs of relenting, and this may finally be the long-awaited opportunity to finalize the transfer. However, it must be noted that recent statements suggest dissatisfaction among Kylian Mbappe’s management team regarding tentative offers made by Real Madrid.

Recent reports suggest that Real Madrid has extended a noteworthy proposition to Kylian Mbappe. The Spanish side has offered an annual salary of $28 million, supplemented by a signing bonus, amounting to $140 million. However, sources close to the player have indicated some discontent with this offer. To put things into perspective, the World Cup winner’s current salary at PSG stands at $80.8 million., a figure that Real Madrid allegedly lacks the financial capacity to match.
