Date set for Kylian Mbappe’s PSG farewell as Real Madrid move edges closer – report | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappe’s imminent departure from Paris Saint-Germain has garnered a great deal of attention, as he will be leaving the Parisians after spending seven memorable seasons at the club.

Despite the Frenchman not yet revealing his ultimate destination, all signs point to Real Madrid as his likely landing spot.

Mbappe has kept his lips sealed regarding his next club, but an announcement is expected to come soon, particularly now that PSG’s Champions League run has ended.

It was previously reported that a reason for Mbappe’s reluctance to confirm Real Madrid as his next destination was PSG’s participation in the Champions League.

The Frenchman wanted to avoid drawing attention to himself in the event of a potential clash against Real Madrid.

Farewell ceremony will be this Sunday

Now, L’Equipe (h/t Madrid Zone) have come out to report that Kylian Mbappe’s farewell ceremony at PSG is set to be this Sunday at the Parc des Princes.

PSG are scheduled to play Toulouse on Sunday night at their home ground – their last at Parc des Princes this season and it is when the Frenchman will say goodbye to the club faithful.

The ceremony signifies that the 2018 World Cup winner is set to part ways with PSG, leading to heightened expectations that his next chapter will unfold at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, PSG still have a few games remaining in Ligue 1 and also go on to play the French Cup final at the end of this month, which might cause some additional delays.

Real Madrid preparing for grand announcement

Meanwhile, reports have mentioned that to officially announce Kylian Mbappe’s signing, Real Madrid are getting ready to make a very spectacular statement.

The plan is to announce the signing of the star forward before he leaves to join the French national team for UEFA Euro 2024.

With Real Madrid’s spot in the Champions League final confirmed the possibility of winning the title and then welcoming Mbappe soon after would be a true statement of their ambitions.
