The 17-year-old joined PSG alongside Kylian in 2017 and he progressed through the club’s youth set-up before making his senior debut last year.

However, Mbappe has now confirmed his departure, with his PSG contract expiring at the end of June.

Mbappe announced his PSG departure on Instagram. “With my soul of a child and supporter since birth, I found you dream-filled eyes,” he wrote.

“This was almost seven years ago and I had no doubt that we would be on such an adventure together.

“It was the beginning of seven years when my daily life and my heart vibrated in red and blue.

Seven years of meetings that marked me forever. Seven years of priceless human and sporting memories.

“From carefree childhood to my first professional steps, you have provided the best foundation for the man and player I aspire to be.

“For all that you have brought me, for all these great people you put on my path and for the way you have made me grow, in the name of sincere love I have for you, I say thank you and goodbye.”

Mbappe is yet to announce which club he will be joining this summer, although Lille have been linked with a free transfer move for the teenager.
