PSG forward, Kylian Mbappe has come out to hint at his impending Real Madrid transfer. This is coming as Kylian insisted that he is leaving the French club with his head held high, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if the current chapter in his life is closing, Ligue 1 football and his time in France will always have a special place in his heart.
Mbappe added that he is very excited by what the next chapter of his football career would be.
His words, “A page is turning. A chapter in my life is closing. You can prepare all you want, but when the time comes, it still means something. Ligue 1 has always had a special place in my life. I have always honoured and tried to be a worthy representative of the league, to bring it to the top level.
I’ll leave with my head held high, having done everything I could but I couldn’t have done it without the clubs that I played for, firstly AS Monaco and then of course PSG. I’m going to miss it. A page is turning in my life. I’m very excited by what is to come but that is something else. Today, I am here to say thank you and repay the trust that I have been shown. It has been a long path and I am very happy to have played a part in the league’s history.”
WOW.
