Kylian Mbappé congratulates his brother on first professional contract

Last month, there were two Mbappés under contract at Paris Saint-Germain. Now there are none. Following Kylian Mbappé’s (25) move to Real Madrid on a free transfer at the start of the month, Ethan Mbappé (17) has now left too, joining Lille OSC on a free transfer too.

Kylian’s departure from PSG was rather acrimonious and the nature of it damaged the chances of Ethan remaining at the club. The young midfielder had been in talks to sign his first professional contract with the club, but those talks stalled when Kylian announced that he would be leaving the club.

As a result, Ethan has left on a free transfer, like his brother, and has joined Lille on a three-year deal. During his time with Les Parisiens, Ethan made just five first-team appearances for the club.

Whilst Kylian’s focus is on helping France qualify for the semi-finals of Euro 2024, he took a moment to congratulate his brother on social media. “The start of a great adventure at a great club,” he began. “All the best for you and your team. I am your biggest supporter. The hardest [part] has only just begun but you’ll be up to the task. I just need to look at flights from Madrid to Lille now hahaha.”
