One day after Valentine’s Day, a love story ends. Thursday evening, Kylian Mbappé announced to the leaders of Paris Saint-Germain his intention to leave the club at the end of the season. Arriving in the French capital in 2017, the captain of the Blues had extended his contract until 2024 but refused last summer to activate a clause allowing him to stay an additional year at PSG.
An announcement that ignites the Spanish press, which is already seeing the 2018 world champion settle down in Madrid. For Parisian supporters, on the other hand, we now have to come to terms with the idea that the club’s top scorer will no longer be there at the end of June.
“He made the image of the club”
The day after a great victory in the Champions League, they did not expect it. Thursday, it was around 6 p.m. when these supporters heard the news. A shock for Thimoté, fan of the Parisian club. “As a supporter, I am disgusted because he is still a good player and a good element in the team, especially when we see the squad this year,” he laments at the microphone of Europe 1 .
The Parc des Princes without Kylian Mbappé next year, a hard blow, certainly, but not a tragedy for this other supporter either. “Disappointed, not necessarily, but a little sad. We are going to lose a great player. Now, there will be a sequel. There was a before, there will be an after. There are great players, there are some others and there will be others,” he reassures himself. For Romain, on the other hand, the Frenchman’s decision is the right one. His failures with PSG in the Champions League could no longer continue.
“He made the club’s image, I agree. We cannot say the opposite, he is the club’s best scorer. But, for him, personally and sportingly, he must leave. He He has to find something better,” the supporter thinks. Everyone expects to see the 25-year-old star join Real Madrid, the club of his dreams which has wanted to recruit him for several years already.
