The France superstar has confirmed that he will leave PSG when his contract expires at the end of June and he was booed by Parisian supporters during his final appearance as a home player at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.

Mbappe, 25, is expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, with Los Blancos set to make him their highest-paid player.

He famously rejected a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in favour of signing a new deal at PSG in 2022, but Mbappe will finally make the move to the Spanish giants this summer.

Kylian Mbappe’s PSG exit confirmed

Although PSG will lose arguably the world’s best player on a free transfer, they will save a reported €200m thanks to his departure, according to Relevo.

The Spanish outlet have reported that Mbappe will not be paid his €80m loyalty bonus for staying with PSG this season. This is due to the fact that the Frenchman reached a gentleman’s agreement with Nasser Al-Khelaifi to forgo this payment after he was banished from the PSG squad in pre-season.

In addition, his €72m annual salary will no longer be paid - with Mbappe opting against activating his one-year contract extension option - and his wage bonuses for achieving individual goals will also be forfeited.

Furthermore, Mbappe is still yet to collect his €130m loyalty bonus for rejecting Real Madrid in 2022, although it’s believed he will now only earn some of this fee.

In total, Relevo have reported that PSG will save at least €200m through Mbappe’s departure and they will use this money to bolster their squad in his absence.

Victor Osimhen, Luis Diaz, Leny Yoro and Gavi have all been linked with a summer move to the Parc des Princes, although it remains to be seen who PSG will sign to begin their post-Mbappe era.
