This time, the shadow of doubt is no longer allowed. As we revealed on January 7, Kylian Mbappé will indeed leave PSG at the end of the season and his contract. He made the announcement this week to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, obviously disappointed but not really surprised. The striker will join Real Madrid at the end of the season. This time, and unlike 2022, he will not change his mind to extend with the club he joined in 2017 from AS Monaco.
After the explosion of the week, the captain of the Blues will return to the field this evening, with a trip to La Beaujoire to face FC Nantes. The reaction of the public and in particular of the Parisian supporters, finally authorized to travel, will be closely scrutinized. For its part, the club will not stand in the way of its player at the end of the season. Quite the contrary. Despite the hard blow of the announcement of his departure, PSG will pull out all the stops to give him the exit he deserves.
A big ceremony at the Parc des Princes
If it remains to be agreed on the bonuses released by the world champion (we are talking about a sum estimated between €100 and €150 million), this separation will be done in good understanding. According to The Team, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has always hoped for an extension but in recent weeks, he has made up his mind. He is already starting to distill the message internally to prepare a grandiose farewell ceremony at the club at the end of the season. It is still a question of celebrating the top scorer in the history of PSG (243 goals in 209 matches).
The Parc des Princes will undoubtedly be the scene of a grandiose tribute at the end of the season. In the meantime, it will be interesting to observe the reaction of the stadium during the next home matches, starting with the reception of Rennes on February 25. Mbappé assured that he would remain focused on the athlete. He will not let go of his team despite the announcement of his future departure, starting with the return against Real Sociedad. A reaction which does not really surprise him, the great lover of the competitive spirit.
