Kylian Mbappe finally announces PSG exit and hints at Real Madrid transfer to link up with Jude Bellingham and Co
KYLIAN MBAPPE has announced he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
The World Cup winner shared an emotional video on social media in which he revealed he will not be signing an extension with the Parisians - putting an end to speculation about his future with the club.
The announcement comes after a long period of uncertainty about if the 25-year-old would sign an extension with the Ligue 1 club.
And amid swirling rumours of a summer move to Real Madrid, the star has hinted that a switch to the Spanish capital could be on the cards.
Mbappe explained in his heartfelt video that he won't just be leaving PSG, but will be leaving France as a whole - opening the door to a move to La Liga.
He said: "It's hard, it's hard. I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that.

"To leave my country, France, Ligue 1, a championship I have always known.
"But I think I needed this, a new challenge after seven years."
Mbappe did not reveal exactly where he would be heading come next season, but he is expected to join Real Madrid after a long-term saga linking him with Los Blancos.
The global superstar looked like he was heading to the Bernabeu in 2022 on a free transfer, but ultimately pulled off a shock U-turn and penned a new deal with PSG instead.

His time at the Parc des Princes hasn't quite lives up to expectations despite winning six league titles and three French cups since his arrival in 2018.
