Kylian Mbappe has officially confirmed he is leaving Paris Saint-Germain after seven years.
The France international's contract is up in the summer and it had been widely rumoured that he would not be renewing.
With Real Madrid rumours continuing to swirl, Mbappe has announced he will play his final game at the Parc des Princes against Toulouse this weekend.
He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share an emotional goodbye message.
"I've always said that that I will speak with you when the time comes and so I wanted to announce to you all that it's my last year at Paris-Saint-Germain," Mbappe said.

"I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my final game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.
"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, which allowed me to arrive here, to have my first experience in a club with a lot of pressure and to grow as a player of course by being alongside some of the best in history.
"It's a club that I will keep in my memory my entire life. I will tell everybody, my whole life, that I had the chance to play here."

Mbappe joined from AS Monaco in 2017, initially on a loan deal which became a permanent £166 million switch.
In addition to lifting six Ligue One titles, he has gone on to become PSG's record goalscorer, having found the net 255 times in 306 games.
Though there has been no official confirmation, it is widely expected that he will be moving to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Although PSG suffered Champions League disappointment yet again, Mbappe could still line up a further three times - including in the French cup final against Lyon.
