Hence, he has been longing to move to a club that could help him win the title.</p> <p>In the last three summer transfer windows, there have been strong speculations that Real Madrid were willing to buy him for a very good price since he has always wanted to join the Spanish side.</p> <p>But PSG have always turned down Real Madrid attempts according to reports until last summer when Kylian Mbappe announced that he wouldn't leave PSG until his current contract expires on June 30, 2024.</p> <p>This announcement came months after Mbappe signed a two-year contract with PSG with an option for a one-year extension. But he refused to sign the contract extension which forced PSG to ban him from the club's first team for some weeks.</p> <p>Despite all the efforts PSG made to extend his contract, the 25-year-old striker refused to blink and he now seems ready to use the exit door permanently in this coming summer.</p> <p>Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, posted on his X account earlier today, February 15, that Kylian Mbappe has officially <em>"informed PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi that he will leave the club as a free agent".</em></p> <p>He added: <em>"The terms of the departure are yet to be fully agreed but he will leave Paris in the summer — Kylian has yet to fulfill his commitments to the club."</em></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/02/15/kylian-mbappe-officially-informs-psg-that-he-is-leaving-this-summer/">Kylian Mbappe Officially Informs PSG That He Is Leaving This Summer</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
