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.

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!

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.
