Ethan Mbappe releases emotional statement as he is released from PSG with shock club favourites to sign him

Kylian Mbappe's brother, Ethan, has released a statement following confirmation he would be leaving PSG alongside his brother at the end of his contract.

This follows confirmation of the worst-kept secret in all of football, as Real Madrid announced the signing of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer.

Mbappe's brother Ethan joined PSG in 2017 at the same time as his brother made the switch from Monaco, where he joined up with the academy before being promoted to the first team in 2023.

The 17-year-old made three senior appearances for PSG this season after being first included in a matchday squad in September last year.

He signed a three-year deal in 2021 which has since not been renewed, and it has now been confirmed the teenager would be released by the Ligue 1 champions.

Mbappe took to Instagram to share an emotional message to PSG supporters.

He wrote: "With the soul of a child and a supporter from birth, I discovered you with eyes full of dreams. That was nearly seven years ago, and I had no idea that we would be living such an adventure together. It was the start of seven years of red and blue in my daily life and in my heart.

"Seven years of encounters that have left an indelible mark on me. Seven years of priceless human and sporting memories. From the carefree days of childhood to my first steps as a professional, you laid the best foundations for the man and player I aspire to become. For everything you've given me, for all the wonderful people you've put in my path, and for the way you've helped me grow, on behalf of my sincere love for you, I say thank you and goodbye."

Despite many rumours, Mbappe is not expected to be joining his brother in Madrid with a move to Ligue 1 side Lille more likely according to reports.

This will surely allow the youngster to be his own player and own his own name for the first time in his very young career.
