📬 PSG Talk Newsletter: It's Official, Kylian Mbappé is No Longer a Paris Saint-Germain Player
The latest Paris Saint-Germain news delivered right to your inbox.
At midnight on July 1, Kylian Mbappé’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired and despite there being no ceremony yet, he is a Real Madrid player. In fact, if you look at Mbappé’s Transfermarkt page, they have him as officially joining Los Blancos on a free transfer.
It’s a bit surreal for PSG supporters. Most of us have been watching Mbappé since 2016, when he was with AS Monaco, and were overjoyed when he joined PSG initially on loan in 2017. Since then, there have been a lot of goals but also a lot of drama. The question on every PSG supporter’s mind right now is not reminiscing about Mbappé but how the club will replace him.
In this edition of the PSG Talk Newsletter, we’ll share the latest transfer rumors and other news going on with the club. But first, I want to thank all of you who have already signed up for a subscription to PSG Talk Extra Time. We’ll have a podcast out this week, as well as another column from myself.
