Mbappé's decision comes as no surprise, as rumours of his departure have been circulating since last summer.
Reports suggest that he will join Real Madrid, with whom he has allegedly agreed to a five-year deal worth €15 million per season and a €150 million signing bonus.
During his seven-year tenure at PSG, Mbappé has been instrumental in the team's success, scoring 26 goals in 28 Ligue 1 matches this season alone.
He has also led the team to their sixth Ligue 1 title and a UEFA Champions League runner-up finish in 2020.
Internationally, Mbappé has made a significant impact, earning the Best Young Player award at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the Golden Boot and Silver Ball at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Mbappé's departure will be a significant loss for PSG, but his potential move to Real Madrid could be a game-changer for the Spanish club, which has already dominated LaLiga this season and advanced to the Champions League final.
As one of the world's top players, Mbappé's next move will be closely watched by football fans worldwide. His final home match for PSG will be against Toulouse on Sunday.
