France striker Kylian Mbappe says he will announce his future in the coming days after winning the French Cup with PSG last week. Mbappe is expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent this summer after deciding not to renew his contract with the French side, which expires this summer. According to reports, the move could be announced as early as next week.
After beating Lyon 2-1 and winning his latest trophy with PSG, Mbappe was asked about his next move but did not reveal much.
“Because I think it’s best to finish the farewell. All I wanted was to end well. There is a time for everything. I will announce my new club in due course. It will only be a few days, so there’s no problem there.”
It is still unclear whether the announcement will take place before the UEFA 2024 European Championship starting on June 14.
“I still don’t know, there are still some details. The most important thing was to win and experience these last emotions,” he said.
“I always understood where I was, this unique experience of playing for PSG. Playing for PSG is something I would recommend. I was lucky enough to experience it. What I had, I wouldn’t experience anywhere else. Now I’m going experience something different and I’m sure that will be magical too.”
Mbappe, 25, scored 256 goals in 307 games played with PSG, where he won six Ligue 1 titles, four French Super Cups, four French Cups and two Coupe de la Ligue. He is now on the verge of signing for Real Madrid, having already refused to join the Spanish squad in the summer of 2021 and in the summer of 2022.
The Mbappé-Madrid duo will soon become a reality.
