Scorer this Friday, July 21 in a friendly against Le Havre (2-0), Kylian Mbappé perhaps did not expect such a banishment a few minutes after the final whistle. Because the Parisian management, in conflict with its star striker, has decided to decide on the spot: the captain of the Blues is not one of the 29 players selected for the PSG tour in Japan, whose departure is scheduled for Saturday July 22. The two parties are divided on the extension of the contract of the French international (70 selections).

The capital club communicated this list on its official website and in which, therefore, the best Ligue 1 player last season does not appear. Kylian’s younger brother, Ethan Mbappé, 16, is in the group that will fly to Osaka and Tokyo.

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.
