Last Friday, Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé announced that he’d be leaving the club after this season, with his contract expiring next month. The 25-year-old will be heading to Real Madrid and arriving in the Spanish capital, the player had an odd request. 

Mbappé officially took the first step with a heartfelt video message lasting over three minutes. In it, he expressed gratitude, acknowledged past missteps, professed his affection for the team, and revealed plans for “a new challenge” ahead.

As the official announcement to Real Madrid nears, El Chiringuito’s José Alvarez revealed an odd request that the soon-to-be former PSG star made to the Spanish club during their negotiations.

“He asked for a golf course close to his house,” Alvarez said (h/t Le10Sport). 

Following the conclusion of the UEFA Champions League final, it’s expected that the Frenchman will be unveiled as the club’s latest addition. Meanwhile, PSG will be on the hunt for a replacement for their soon-to-be star player as they begin a new era next season.
