Kylian Mbappe “is for sale now”learned on Friday the sports management of Radio France, confirming information from the newspaper L’Equipe, while the Parisian captain is not on the list of players leaving for the club’s tour of Japan.

Scorer this Friday, July 21 in a friendly against Le Havre (2-0), the best player in Ligue 1 last season perhaps did not expect such a banishment a few minutes after the final whistle. Because the Parisian management, in conflict with its star striker, decided to decide on the spot by not retaining the French international (70 selections), as it communicated on its official site.

Mbappé on the transfer market after July 31?

Within the Parisian club, learned Radio France from a source familiar with the matter, it is indicated that since the return of Kylian Mbappé to training last Monday, there have been no developments concerning his contractual situation. PSG deduces from this that he already has an agreement with another club to join in June 2024, at the end of his contract, freely.

The Paris Saint-Germain line, enacted by its president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is as follows, and he made it known to the players on Tuesday afternoon in training during a fifteen-minute speech: no one is above the club, the institution. This is therefore what led the club not to include Kylian Mbappé in the group that will go to Japan.

As a reminder, a deadline has been set for Kylian Mbappé to activate the option of an additional year present in his contract with Paris: July 31. After this date, he will be put on the transfer market. The club will therefore discuss with its suitors from August 1, once its option to extend the contract has expired, according to information from Radio France.

“He can’t leave for free”Nasser Al-Khelaïfi said at the beginning of July, recalling that PSG had invested around 180 million euros in the 24-year-old player in 2017 and that he was not “Not possible” to see him leave without receiving any compensation.
