Fans have noticed the ONE person Kylian Mbappe failed to mention in his Paris Saint-Germain farewell message.

Mbappe announced he will leave PSG at the end of the season in a video shared on his social media accounts.

He will be a free agent once his contract expires in June, with Real Madrid thought to be the next destination.

"I’ve always said that I would speak with you when the time comes," said Mbappe.

"It's my last year at Paris St-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks."

The 25-year-old added: "It's a lot of emotions, many years where I had the chance and the great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world.

"It allowed me to arrive here, to have my first experience in a club with a lot of pressure, to grow as a player of course, by being alongside some of the best in history, some of the greatest champions.

"It's hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that. But I think I needed this, a new challenge, after seven years."

Mbappe went onto thank all the teammates he had during his time at the club as well as former managers Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino and Christophe Galtier, before thanking current boss Luis Enrique.

Sporting directors Leonardo and Luis Campos also got a mention.

However, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi wasn't named in Mbappe's farewell message and fans think it was a telling omission.

According to reports in France, the relationship between Al-Khelaifi and Mbappe broke down following the superstar's decision to announce his departure internally back in February.

Mbappe omitting Al-Khelaifi from his speech sent social media into overdrive.

One X User wrote: "I watched it twice and didn’t notice that. You right, that is quite interesting given that he gave him the keys to the club."

A second tweeted: "Hadn’t noticed but that’s telling."

A third added: "Nasser blocked his move in 2021 he held that grudge..."

A fourth commented: "You always hate the warden of your prison."

Another added: "Didn’t notice! Says a lot."
