THE EXPLANATION

Announcing his departure, Mbappe said: "I've always said I would speak to you when this time comes and so I wanted to announce to you all that it's my last year at Paris Saint-Germain, I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. It's a lot of emotions, it's hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I am leaving my country, but I think I needed this, a new challenge after seven years."PSG is a club that never leaves anyone indifferent, I do not regret at any moment signing with this prestigious club. It's a club I will keep in my memory my entire life. I won't be a player anymore but I will continue to always watch every game. I wanted to say thank you because without you all I would never have felt half the emotions I felt. Thank you all, I hope we will finish this year with a last trophy and I believe you will remain in my heart forever."

WHAT MBAPPE SAID

Mbappe has scored 255 goals in 306 games and PSG and picked up 108 assists.
