"It allowed me to arrive here, to have my first experience in a club with a lot of pressure, to grow as a player by rubbing shoulders with some who were the best in history. As a man too, to know all the glory and the mistakes that I have made."

Mbappé confirms that he is leaving France

Before thanking his teammates, coaches, sports directors and club employees: "There are great people who give everything for the club and deserve to have this recognition . Despite everything that can happen outside, all this media cloud which sometimes surrounds this club, there are lovers of this club who defend it and want to make it shine and that is really pleasing and this club is in good hands."

With this announcement, the French international still does not specify his future destination. Who will still be abroad: "It's difficult, I didn't think it was going to be so hard to announce that, to leave my country, France, Ligue 1, a championship that I have always known. But I think I needed this, a new challenge after seven years." 

"I hope that we will end this year with one last trophy, that we will have good times for what' he's staying. Know that you will remain in my heart for life. This is Paris and goodbye, he finally concluded.
