French soccer superstar Kylian Mbappe confirmed his departure from Paris Saint-Germain after this season, opening the door for his expected move to join Real Madrid.
PSG plays Sunday against Toulouse, Mbappe’s last appearance in front of the home crowd, and finishes with a French Cup final May 15 against Lyon.
Mbappe posted his farewell thoughts via Instagram, saying in part that he would not be staying beyond this season.
Multiple reports have said Mbappe will land at Real Madrid, a destination that finished a narrow runner-up to PSG in 2017, the last time Mbappe, who was leaving Monaco, made a decision among potential teams.
Mbappe helped France win the 2018 World Cup and returned to record a hat trick in a 2022 World Cup loss to Argentina.
He has amassed a PSG-record 255 goals in 306 matches, taking six Ligue 1 championships along the way.
Mbappe (26 goals this season) is likely to win the Ligue 1 Golden Boot for a sixth consecutive season.
