Over the course of his seven-year spell, following a €180m move from Monaco, Mbappé made 306 appearances, scoring 255 goals and making 108 assists. His contribution rate is 1.19 goals per game, and he will have four more games to add to that total, against Toulouse in their final match at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, before away trips to Nice and Metz to conclude the Ligue 1 season. season. His final match for Paris Saint-Germain will be the French Cup final against Lyon on the last weekend of May. Mbappe won 13 titles with Paris Saint-Germain, including six French League titles, three French Super Cups, three French Cups and two League Cups.
Mbappe is expected to join Real Madrid next June, although it is not clear when the deal will be announced. This is expected to happen before he joins France's Euro camp, but Real Madrid's progress to the Champions League final leaves a short gap for that to happen. Real Madrid will not want any distractions in the lead-up to the final. But they also won't want Mbappé to overshadow the celebrations if they win.
