WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-la-liga-champions-barcelona-embarrassment-girona-title-jude-bellingham/blt91f441b396d5e33f" target="_blank">Real Madrid have already captured the league title in Spain</a> and are currently focused on trying to win the Champions League after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-bayern-munich-joselu-vinicius-jr/blt2ff7f3a3a7ce33b6" target="_blank">beating Bayern Munich to set up a final against Borussia Dortmund</a> on Saturday, June 1 at Wembley. According to <a href="https://theathletic.com/5485048/2024/05/11/kylian-mbappe-psg-real-madrid-transfer/?source=emp_shared_article/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=socialsharing_web" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, Los Blancos do not want Mbappe's transfer "to take the focus away" from such a big game and may not even announce the deal until after the match.

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.
