In a three-minute video, the 25-year-old announced his leaving plans. He offered gratitude, admitted his mistakes, declared his affection for the team, and announced that he was leaving for another adventure. While there has been disapproval of the choice of releasing this development in this way, PSG was unable to do anything because they were unaware of the player's plan to share this video.

In the video that Kylian Mbappe posted he said, “There are a lot of emotions.For many years I have had the great honour to be a member of the biggest French club. It’s difficult to announce this, to leave my country, Ligue 1, a championship I have always known, but I think I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.” He reserved a special thank you to PSG fans, admitting: “I haven’t always lived up to the love you all gave me.”
