Paris Saint-Germain's ultras honoured Kylian Mbappe on his final game for the club at the Parc des Princes despite the French star not receiving an official farewell.

The forward has been with the Parisians since completing a €180 million move from Monaco in 2017. Initially a loan move, the transfer was then made permanent.

After weeks of speculation, Mbappe announced via a video message on his social media handles that he would be leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of the current season.

According to The Athletic, he has an agreement with Real Madrid, but both decided not to announce the move yet as the Spanish side wants to focus fully on the UEFA Champions League final.

PSG ultras honour Mbappe

The 25-year-old confirmed during his announcement in midweek that he will say his final goodbye to the fans at their last home game of the season against Toulouse.

As seen in a video recirculated by Men In Blazers, the club ultras unveiled a giant banner in honour of their departing star even though no official farewell was planned.

The French national team captain omitted club president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s name during his farewell speech, further fuelling speculation about the 'strained' nature of their relationship.

Mbappe captained the side and scored a goal within eight minutes of kick-off to give a parting gift to the fans and confirm his status as the Golden Boot winner for the sixth consecutive time.

Real Madrid decide on Mbappe's number

Sports Brief previously reported that Madrid have already decided Mbappe's number. The 25-year-old seems set to play for the 14-time European champions next season.

The number reportedly chosen is an iconic shirt and could give a big hint about the future of the current occupant, who appears likely to move on from the Spanish champions.
