Kylian Mbappe has finally confirmed football’s worst-kept secret and will head for Real Madrid with the best wishes of Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique ringing in his ears.
Mbappe announced on Friday that his seven-year stay at PSG will end this summer — and it seems certain he is heading for the Bernabeu.
It would represent a dream move for the France captain, who said he idolised Real Madrid as a child.
‘All I can say is marvellous things about Kylian Mbappe as a footballer and person,’ Luis Enrique said. ‘I understand his decision. He has been here for seven years and is a club legend.
‘He has given everything to this club, and this club has given him everything as well. I wish him all the best for the future.
‘I have been proud to have him in this team. He has helped us and is a leader, and he has done so with a smile on his face.’
The move to Real is likely to hit Mbappe in his pocket, with his salary reduced to bring him in line with the Spanish club’s biggest earners, including England’s Jude Bellingham.
At Real he is likely to be paid £21million a year, barely one-third of the eye-watering salary he banks in the French capital.
Mbappe, 25, is PSG’s record scorer, with 255 goals, after having joined from Monaco for £165.7m in 2017.
World Cup-winner Mbappe will play his final home game at the Parc des Princes against Toulouse in Ligue 1 tonight, where the club’s supporters are expected to give him a hero’s send-off.

Nothing changed in PSG since Mbappe joined They have always been winning the league and French cup even without Mbappe. Had PSG won Champions league, you can say he added value to PSG . To me he is a liability to PSG. Because of him PSG gave proven stars like Messi, Neymar, Ramos inferior position in the club. Now all the stars are gone, did PSG win Champions league?
Psg would not win the ucl even if the so called proven stars were there without mbappe there ts not a 1 man show

Did they win the cup No So what value did Mbappe bring when they built PSG project around him when he didn't win the cup which is the main objective,?
That doesn't mean he can't still win the cup. The reason why Messi was signed was to also help them win the cup, His presence in the team didn't take beyond the Round of 16 twice. A failed signing.

They made it to the Semi Final without Messi.. With Messi, they didn't make it beyond the round of 16.

At least this year there no Messi to blame for their elimination in the UCL. He was dumbfounded in the interview after the match as he was overconfident that he would almost singlehandedly deliver that cup to his boss. But dololo! It's teamwork even at madrid

Mbappe will certainly go down as PSG legend and will soon be called French legend as well. If they end up winning the euro or even reaching the final, then balondor this year is for him. I don't even see any serious contender for this year balon dor. In fact, mbappe just needs to perform well at the euro like what he did in the last world Cup and he will win it.

Let me ask you this question, Who is a club legend? Is Henry an Arsenal legend? if your is as good as mine, then Mbappe is PSG legend period.

Legend to PSG. Not football. Name a PSG player better than Mbappe? Zlatan? Cavani? Ronaldinho?
