The PSG star striker spoke on stage at the Pavillon d’Armenonville in Paris this Monday evening during the UNFP Trophies presentation.

After receiving his fifth consecutive title of best player of the season in Ligue 1 this Monday evening at the Pavillon d’Armenonville in Paris, Kylian Mbappé first spoke about the Paris 2024 Olympics, which he could perhaps not not argue if he were to join Real Madrid, where he is strongly anticipated. “Everything that has to do with winning makes me happy. Now, the boss is here (Didier Deschamps) and he’s laughing a little… More seriously, everyone knows the situation, it’s not a situation that depends on me. But I think you have to think as an adult and take the best solution for all parties. But of course it would be a waking dream to participate in the Paris Olympics..

The season’s top scorer (27 goals scored) also returned to his departure, expressing his attachment to Ligue 1. “It’s a page that is turning. A chapter of my life that will close. You can prepare whatever you want, when the moment is there, it always does something for you. Ligue 1 has always had an important place in my life. I tried to do honor and be the worthy representative of this Championship, to take it as high as possible. I leave with my head held high, having done everything I could do. But I would never have been able to do it without the clubs I played for, first Monaco, and of course Paris Saint-Germain. Today, I am here to thank and return the trust that was given to me. (…) It was a long road, and I am very happy to have been able to participate in my own way in a part of the history of the Championship. »

Mbappé, who also thanked his sporting director and his president Nasser al-Khelaïfi, also concluded the evening with goodbyes. ““Congratulations to all the winners, nominees and all those accompanying them because if you are here it is because you have contributed directly or indirectly to the success of someone who is here. Good luck to everyone and good luck to everyone, thank you very much”.

“Maybe now isn’t the time to find out.”

Kylian Mbappé

Passed into the mixed zone after receiving his trophy for best player in Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappé, who recently formalized his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, was questioned (unsurprisingly) about his future. But “KM7”, which had no intention of talking about it this Monday evening, preferred to kick in: “In life, you have to take time for everything. The only thing to know is that I’m leaving PSG. The rest is not the time to know“, declared the one announced on the Real Madrid side in comments reported by RMC Sport. We should know more by the end of May, even if there should be no suspense…
