‘I need new challenge’ — Mbappe confirms exit from PSG

Kylian Mbappe bids farewell to Paris Saint Germain (PSG) FC ahead of a forthcoming move away from the club. 

In a video on his Instagram page on Friday, Mbappe announced that he would leave the French club at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old said he would play his last home game for PSG on Sunday against Toulouse FC.

PSG’s season wraps up with away fixtures at Nice and Metz on May 15 and 19 before the French Cup final against Lyon at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Lille.

“I want to announce to you all that this is my last season at PSG. I will not extend, and the adventure will end in a few week’s time.

“I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.

“It is hard, hard. I never thought it would be this difficult. to announce that I am leaving the country. I need a challenge after seven years.

To the fans, I have not always lived up to the love you gave me. I loved PSG for seven years.”

Mbappe did not reveal his next club. However, there have been reports that the 2018 World Cup winner is more open to joining Real Madrid.

PSG signed Mbappe from AS Monaco in 2017. The Paris club spent €180 million on the player when he was 18, making him the most expensive teenager in football history and the second-most expensive footballer ever after Neymar.
