Kylian Mbappé Leaves PSG for Real Madrid After Seven Years

In a significant turn of events for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Kylian Mbappé’s departure has been confirmed after seven impactful years with the club. As his contract came to an end, the French superstar chose not to extend his stay, ultimately signing with Real Madrid as a free agent. This move marks a pivotal moment in Mbappé’s career, and fellow teammate Warren Zaïre-Emery has shared insights on the situation.

The Kylian Mbappé Saga

The story of Kylian Mbappé dominated PSG’s headlines throughout the last season. It all began in the summer of 2023 when he was sidelined from the team. Although he was later reintegrated, he played under the management of Luis Enrique. Unfortunately, as was widely anticipated, this chapter concluded with his departure. Despite having an additional year option on his contract, Mbappé opted against continuing with PSG, paving the way for his highly-anticipated move to Real Madrid.

“He promised to give his all until the end”

Prior to a Champions League match against Real Sociedad, Mbappé reportedly informed PSG’s management of his decision to leave at the end of the season. This announcement sent shockwaves through the club. Warren Zaïre-Emery, reflecting on this moment during a segment for Canal+, remarked on Mbappé’s commitment: “He said he would give his best until the end of his contract, and I believe that’s exactly what he is doing.”

“He’s someone I really like”

Zaïre-Emery further expressed his admiration for Mbappé, stating, “It didn’t really disrupt us, but when you have one of the best players in the world, you want to keep him at your club. He’s someone I really like; he’s a good person. You can see on the field that he has an obsession with scoring and assisting. I need to take a page out of his book in that regard.”
