The rebuilding process has been completely carried out in Paris, and Kylian Mbappe has announced his decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain, and his next stop is likely to be Real Madrid. This news caused waves among fans.
Mbappe, whose name is almost unknown in the football world, is gone, on the surface as an ordinary transfer of the player, and secretly indicates the end of the era of the Grand Paris. During his years at Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe used his speed, skill and goals to win numerous accolades for the team, as well as the respect and love of fans around the world.
Mbappe said in the video that he wants to take on a new challenge, doesn't want to continue to waste his time in his comfort zone, wants to win more accolades, and this is a good opportunity. The two sides said goodbye in a friendly way, and there was no quarrel.
Mbappe's expression was agitated, and his words were full of gratitude to the club and anticipation for the future. "It's a club that I'll remember for the rest of my life," he said. I told everyone I had a chance to play here. Then, he blinked and gave a thumbs up, an action full of confidence in the future and gratitude for the past.
According to Team Daily, Mbappe went to meet and have dinner with Paris Saint-Germain's superfan CUP shortly after announcing his departure.
On the pitch, Mbappe has been outstanding. He is once again the top scorer in the French league with 26 goals. The 25-year-old, already captain of the French team, won the World Cup in 2018, becoming only the second teenager after Pele to score in a World Cup final. He scored the most goals of a World Cup in 2022, including a rare hat-trick.
During his years at PSG, Mbappe scored 255 goals for the team, and his trademark move of sprinting down the left flank used his speed to force defenders and then slotted the ball in quick and precise way. He has won six Ligue 1 titles in seven years, but Ligue 1 is a small ball market after all, and his performances at the top level have not been very convincing, exposing obvious flaws.
Seven years ago, the 18-year-old Mbappe was a high-profile player when he reached the semi-finals of the Champions League at Monaco. Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Madrid to sign him at the time, and now things seem to be back to square one, with Mbappe leaving on a free transfer.
Sadly, Paris Saint-Germain failed to win the Champions League, and in order to win the Champions League, Paris built a team lineup with Mbappe as the core, spending a total of more than 2 billion euros, which is also the biggest questioning label on Mbappe, which has always doubted his ability to lead the team.
Joining Real Madrid will change dramatically and will bring him more honours, including the Ballon d'Or he covets.
The next step for Grand Paris is to find a new leader. After Mbappe wore the number 7 shirt for the last time, Grand Paris will face a huge rebuilding task.
Mbappe's departure is the end of one era and the beginning of another.
