Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly made a huge U-turn for Kylian Mbappe's final home game.

On Friday, Mbappe finally confirmed his departure from PSG after seven years.

He had previously refrained from commenting on his future but announced he will be leaving on a free transfer when his contract expires in the summer.

He has three more games left in Ligue One, as well as the French cup final against Lyon on 25 May.

But his last game is at the Parc des Princes against Toulouse on Sunday and Mbappe has already sent an emotional goodbye message.

The club's record goalscorer was initially set for a special send-off from the club given his contributions over the years.

However, Le Parisien say that the former Monaco man will not be given a farewell ceremony.

It's claimed that those within the club were not aware of Mbappe's announcement and were "very surprised" seeing it.

The club have not prepared a official celebration for the 25-year-old, only the post-match festivities to commemorate another Ligue One triumph.

The ultras, the club's most passionate fanbase, have done their bit though as they will honour Mbappe with a tifo in the stands.

Mbappe is poised to join Real Madrid in a transfer which has felt inevitable for a number of years.

He is set to become the club's top earner ahead of the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr.

Manager Luis Enrique paid tribute to Mbappe and described him as a "club legend".

"All I can say is marvellous things about Kylian Mbappe as a footballer and person," Enrique said.

"I understand his decision. He has been here for seven years and is a club legend.

"He has given everything to this club, and this club has given him everything as well. I wish him all the best for the future.

"I have been proud to have him in this team. He has helped us and is a leader, and he has done so with a smile on his face."
