Real Madrid Veteran Will Depart, Clearing the Path for PSG Superstar to Claim Kit Number | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé officially announced on Friday that he will be parting ways with Paris Saint-Germain once his contract wraps up next month.

In a poignant video lasting over three minutes, the 2018 FIFA World Cup champion poured out his gratitude, owned up to past missteps, shared his deep affection for the team, and tantalizingly teased plans for an exciting “new challenge” on the horizon.

As the transfer saga nears its end, anticipation mounts worldwide for the long-awaited announcement of his arrival at Real Madrid. Ahead of the looming move, Radio MARCA’s Ramón Álvarez de Mon reports the latest regarding the Frenchman.

According to de Mon, at the end of the season, Luka Modrić will part ways with Real Madrid, passing the torch of the No. 10 shirt to Mbappé.

Moreover, another report reveals that Mbappé is set to become Real Madrid’s top earner, surpassing both Vinicius and Jude Bellingham in salary. While the transfer window isn’t open yet, the capital club can now begin a new era without the 25-year-old.
