The departure of Kylian Mbappé from PSG at the end of the season will allow the capital club to make a big saving.

This time, there no longer seems to be any doubt: Kylian Mbappé will indeed leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract, on June 30. According to information disclosed this Thursday by RMC Sport or the daily newspaper The Teamthe kid from Bondy announced to its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi his desire to leave the capital club at the end of the season.

While his future now seems to be written on the side of Madrid, where Real has dreamed of signing him for several seasons, “ nothing is signed at the moment”, specifies RMC Sport. While waiting to learn more, the player’s entourage does not wish to make ” comments ” for now.

A saving of €200 million per year

It is therefore the end of an era at Paris Saint-Germain, who recruited Kylian Mbappé in the summer of 2017 for 180 million euros. It’s a huge loss for PSG on a sporting level. On the other hand, on an economic level, the residents of the Parc des Princes will make a nice saving.

Indeed, “Kyk’s” pockets 72 million euros gross per season (i.e. 30 to 35 million net) since its extension in May 2022. With his departure, PSG will thus free up funds. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, 200 million gross per year will be saved by the Rouge et Bleu. Enough to envisage a big summer transfer window. To replace Mbappé, the names of Rafael Leao, Victor Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez are mentioned.
