A social media post inside the house of Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has sparked fresh rumours that the striker is preparing himself for a summer transfer away from the club.
PSG star striker Mbappe has reportedly reached an agreement to join Real Madrid this summer – the Spanish giants have had a long-running interest in the Frenchman.
Mbappe is out of contract at Paris Saint-Germain this summer and he has recently hinted at a move to Real Madrid while a recent interview suggested that he is open to leaving France.
Ironically, the French striker faced the Spanish giants in the Round of 16 of this season’s Champions League as he netted a last-minute winner in a first leg victory for Mauricio Pochettino’s side. He also scored in the return leg in Madrid to open the scoring before a sensational Karim Benzema hat-trick ensured that PSG suffered more European heartache.
There have been suggestions that PSG are willing to make the 23-year-old their highest earning player by offering him improved terms on Lionel Messi ’s and Neymar’s respective contracts. Meanwhile, multiple reports have suggested that French president Emmanuel Macron has been attempted to persuade Mbappe – with whom he has a friendship – to remain in Paris and reject the approach from the Spanish capital.
However, a social media post from artist Ora Ito, a personal friend of Mbappe, has now appeared to suggest that Mbappe may be preparing to leave his life in Paris.
In one of the images posted by Ito, the artist thanks the footballer for the gift of a signed shirt and in the background, a shelf with packed trophies can be seen, as well as cardboard boxes with covers about Mbappe and others already closed – which suggests that he may be preparing a house move.
There is little doubt that the image comes from Mbappe’s house as the photo shows the Kopa Trophy that the striker won in 2018, a model that only the Parisian footballer has in his possession since a new trophy for that award was created the year after he won it, meaning that Mbappe was allowed to keep the original.

Furthermore, there is little doubt that the photo was taken recently as it shows the cover of a magazine that was published in October 2021. It also evident that several boxes labelled ‘self storage’ are sealed in the photo and appear to be ready to be shipped out.
Mbappe has been unquestionably the star player for Les Parisiens this season and he has netted 35 goals in total across all competitions. However, his contract is now set to expire in under two months with his future increasingly likely to be away from the Parc des Princes.
