L'Equipe': Mbappe made the decision to leave in December

Everything seems to indicate that the Mbappe drama is coming to an end. As has been reported by various media outlets in recent weeks, the Frenchman has already told the PSG board that he wants to leave at the end of the current season. In fact, there are more and more nods from the players when asked about the future of the French star, and even Luis Enrique himself admitted in the press room that they have to get used to playing without him.

However, as 'L'Equipe' reported, the player had made the decision much earlier. To be precise, in December last year. The player did not want his future to be the main issue throughout the season, so he decided to take this step long before the Champions League round of 16 tie against Real Sociedad.

The French newspaper goes further and even believes that Mbappe already had a pre-agreement with Madrid that month. However, it guarantees that neither of the two parties will make an official announcement until the end of the season, as both teams are still alive in the Champions League and there is a possibility that there could be a clash in a knockout round.

On the other hand, Mbappe also reportedly insisted to Al Khelaifi that he should not try to convince him by any means, as the decision had been taken and was irrevocable. The Qatari manager accepted this and did not try at any time.

If this information is true, the Frenchman would have misled the press, as in statements to the media, he confirmed and assured that he still did not know what to do about his future, something that, apparently, is not true. Despite this, and although the information is unofficial, it is not yet official that Kylian Mbappe will be a Real Madrid player from the 2024-25 season.
