Kylian Mbappe is currently in mental and physical exhaustion status since his transfer speculation arose, creating a media frenzy and greatly affecting his performance for PSG in recent matches.

Though he looks strong, he has been affected by the transfer rumour that leaked out about two months ago, and since then, the news has been featured often he feels that his club would not have confirmed his decision too soon if he had not made any public announcement about the transfer.

Mbappe confirmed his decision of not renewing his contract with PSG and since then, his status has vanished. Although he has always expressed himself professionally, he did not expect them to confirm his decision that soon the pressure of leaving PSG has been too much and being featured in the news every week.

mbappe’s transfer

His reason for the request is based on the fact that he has already signed with Real Madrid. The club also agreed to lower image rights conditions in the sense that it was an essential condition to close the seal that the player’s salary does not blow up the salary table of the white club.

His salary at the club will be higher but not too far from the highest-paid players in the squad. This move has been years in the making, with Real Madrid pursuing him since he joined PSG in 2017.

The decision came as a priority of the sporting aspect and playing for his dream team Real Madrid over a potentially higher salary offer from PSG. His arrival is seen as a major coup for Real Madrid, strengthening their attack with one of the most exciting young talents.

It is also a significant moment for him to fulfil his longtime ambition to play for the Spanish giants, a move that is eagerly being anticipated by the fans, to see the impact he will have on Real Madrid.

Mbappe Biography

Kylian Mbappe Lottin is a professional footballer who was born on December 20 1998 in Bondy, Paris. His father was a coach while his mother is a former handball player and we can say that he was surrounded by sport from an early age.

He began training with AS Bondy and later joined the Prestigious Clairefontaine academy. The player made his debut for AS Monaco in 2015 and two years later, he broke the club’s record as their youngest ever goalscorer, leading them to a Ligue 1 title win.

At 18 years, he signed for Paris Saint-Germain and since then, he has won four Ligue 1 titles, three Coupe de France titles and reached the Champions League final with the club. Individually, he has bagged several awards.

Internationally, he has represented France at different levels. At 19 years old, he was the youngest French Player ever to score in a World Cup final, winning the Golden Boot Award as the top scorer at the 2022 World Cup by scoring four goals in the World Cup finals.

His leadership skills were recognized when still young and he is the current captain of the French national team where he continues to lead them with his vision. He recently signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid.

Why is Mbappe leaving PSG?

After playing for PSG for seven seasons, he felt it was time to seek a new challenge, especially with a club he had always wished to play for. Perhaps he wasn’t entirely convinced by  PSG’s long-term sporting project as they have not secured the coveted Champions League trophy and he desired to play for a team with a genuine chance to win it.

Why is Mbappe Exhausted?

His recent dip in form is due to mental exhaustion due to the ongoing speculation about his future club. With his contract ending in June 2024, there is pressure on him to decide on his next move and the constant media frenzy and fan expectations can be draining mentally.

Some reports suggest he might be feeling disconnected from PSG due to substitutions by the coach, which could also contribute to frustration. Being the captain of the French national team coupled with the transfer situation could also lead to the situation.
