Kylian Mbappe has expressed his gratitude to Real Madrid fans despite snubbing the La Liga champions in favour of a mega-money contract renewal with Paris Saint-Germain.
The French forward has been the subject of an epic transfer tug-of-war between the two European giants for the past year or so, but one of football's most fascinating sagas has finally drawn to a close. Despite months of speculation suggesting Mbappe was set to join the Spanish side on a free transfer upon the expiry on his contract, the 23-year-old has since opted for a spectacular U-turn.
The World Cup winner will now remain in the French capital, having penned a mega-money three-year deal to keep him at the club until 2025. Having confirmed his decision to remain with PSG prior to his side's final Ligue 1 match of the season on Saturday, Mbappe's contract renewal was then made official during a press conference on Monday - an address in which he also sent a message to Real Madrid's fans.
