PSG tease fans with new kitsMbappe missing from video French star on the verge of completing Real Madrid moveWHAT HAPPENED?
The absence of Mbappe from the promotions for the new home kit serves as a symbolic representation of the club's preparation for life without the French forward, who is likely to set sail for Spain in June. Instead, Warren Zaire-Emery, an emerging talent at PSG who recently signed a new contract with the club, was among the players chosen to model the new kit. He was joined by Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha from the men's team.

Real Madrid are reportedly keen on unveiling Mbappe after the UEFA Champions League final, where they are set to meet Borussia Dortmund. It was reported that the player's entourage requested Madrid to hold off on the announcement until the Parisians played their final game of the season, the French Cup final against Lyon on May 26 – in a bid to not anger the club's ultras.

While Mbappe's departure may signal the end of an era for PSG, it also presents an opportunity for the club to redefine itself and continue its pursuit of both domestic and European success. The new design of the home shirt features the iconic deep blue base with the famous red-and-white stripe running vertically through the centre.
