After training with Paris Saint Germain for the first time on Monday, Kylian Mbappe posted a heartfelt message to angry AS Monaco fans expressing his love for the team. Mbappe went on a season long loan to the French club, who have an option to buy him next summer for a reported 180m euros.
On his official Twitter account, Mbappe posted, “I just wanted to thank you for all the love you gave me during our time together. Never have I been shown such affection, support, and strength”.”
Understanding his former club’s anger towards him, Mbappe added, “I know that some of you do not understand my choice and that a feeling of anger is born in you, I understand. I also understand some whistles during our last [game], because false information circulated throughout the ‘soap opera Mbappe.'”
“I have not changed, my entourage has not changed, our values remain the same: humility, simplicity and respect. One thing is for sure: you can be angry, hate or even whistle but you can never stop me from loving you because the truth is there, I love you,” concluded Mbappe.
The 18-year old scored 24 times last season to help Monaco win their first league title in 17 years.
