Paris Saint-Germain confirmed Kylian Mbappé’s departure from its ranks at the end of this season, albeit indirectly.
The French star’s contract at Princes’ Park Stadium expires at the end of the current season, and he informed PSG officials of his departure last February.
On Friday, Paris published an advertisement for the shirt that the team will wear next season, and for the first time ever since 2018, Mbappe was not present in it.
Instead of Mbappe, there were Marquinhos and Lucas Hernandez, as well as Warren Zaire Emery and Nuno Mendes, along with two players from the women’s team.
The French media considers this step a direct announcement that Mbappe is outside the Parc des Princes, and as the first step to officially announcing the matter.
Some reports suggested that the 25-year-old would announce his departure next Sunday in the match with Toulouse in the French League.
Mbappe is not expected to announce his move to Real Madrid before the end of the season, based on the desire of the Royal Club, which does not want to distract its players and fans from the Champions League final on June 1.
