Kylian Mbappe confirmed to finally leave PSG this season

Kathmandu: The French forward Kyliyan Mbappe has finally confirmed he will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer, ending the long-running drama.


Shortly after news broke that Kylian Mbappe had confirmed his intention to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, Aurelian Choumeni took to social media to post nothing more than a few popcorn emojis.  No words were necessary.

The message was as clear as it was brief: Tchunami football fans are eager to see what happens on the world's longest-running soap opera.

The midfielder's eagerness is completely understandable. Mbappe will soon come to Real Madrid. 

The French champions will likely receive some sort of financial compensation - Mbappé could forego some of the bonuses he received or even pay PSG his signing-on fee - but the sponsorship deals, commercial opportunities and social media followers the club will have to deal with are incredibly heavy for losing the world's best player.  Pay the price.

Despite Neymar and Lionel Messi both playing for PSG, Mbappe was PSG's most valuable player.  

He was not only one of the greatest talents in the game, he was a homegrown hero.  In his ideal world, the boy from Bondi would have led PSG to their first ever Champions League title.  But this Paris fairy tale has long been funny.


Dilhi Capitals and Lucknow are playing today in the IPL

Kathmandu: Dilhi Capitals and Lucknow are playing today in Indian Premier League today at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The KL Rahul-led team will try to forget the previous defeat and change their fortunes against DC.


Lucknow Super Giants suffered a humiliating 10-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad and will now look to stay in the playoff race by defeating Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. 

Capitals' playoff chances were dashed by Royal Challengers Bangalore, where they lost in the table by 16 points.

LSG still have two games left but their hopes are still not low.  The KL Rahul-led team will forget the previous defeat and try to change their fortunes against DC. 

Both teams aim to win the rest of the match but will try their luck on the other team's results.

DC's Probable XI Squad

  1. Jake Fraser McGurk, 
  2. Abhishek Porel, 
  3. Rishabh Pant (captain/wicketkeeper),
  4. Tristian Stubbs, 
  5. Shai Hope, 
  6. Axar Patel, 
  7. Kumar Kushagra, 
  8. Rasik Salam, 
  9. Kuldeep Yadav, 
  10. Mukesh Kumar, 
  11. Ishant Sharma
Dilhi Capitals opener Jake Fraser McGurk has unleashed his fury on almost every bowling unit he has played so far. The Australian young gun has scored 330 runs from just eight matches at a whopping strike rate of 237 with four fifties to his name.

Super Giants speedster Yash Thakur has been the leading wicket-taker for the team this season with 11 wickets in the bank. The youngster also holds a five-wicket haul to his name and can prove to be lethal in the opening stages of the game.

Official announcement by Mbappe to leave PSG next month

Kathmandu: French forward Kylian Mbappe has officially announced that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires next month.


In a touching video lasting over three minutes, the 2018 FIFA World Cup champions expressed their gratitude, admitted past mistakes, shared their deep affection for the team and outlined plans for an exciting "new challenge" in the future.

As the transfer saga draws to a close, excitement is building around the world for the long-awaited announcement of his arrival at Real Madrid.  

Ahead of this impending move, Radio MARCA's Ramon Alvarez de Mon has the latest report on the Frenchman.

According to De Mon, Luka Modric will part ways with Real Madrid at the end of the season, passing the torch of the No. 10 shirt to Mbappe.


Furthermore, another report suggests that Mbappe is set to become Real Madrid's top-earning player, surpassing both Vinicius and Jude Bellingham in wages. 

Although the transfer window is yet to open, the capital club could now begin a new era without the 25-year-old.
