Star forward Kylian Mbappé has returned to the first team at Paris Saint Germain, where he was dropped in July due to contract disputes. Today, the management of the French champions informed about his involvement back in training with the team.
“Following very constructive and positive discussions between Paris Saint Germain and Kylian Mbappé ahead of Saturday’s match against Lorient, the player has been reinstated to the first team this morning,” the club said in a press release.
In mid-June, 24-year-old Mbappé refused to extend his contract, which will expire in a year, and was dropped from the squad. The French 2018 world champion has not trained with the team since then and did not take part in the pre-season tour of Japan and Korea. According to media speculation, he could be heading to Real Madrid.
Not even another offensive star, Neymar, was nominated for the opening match of the new season of the French league with Lorient, which ended in a goalless draw. Even in his case, there is speculation about leaving the club, but according to the official statement, the thirty-one-year-old Brazilian was absent due to illness.
The French media subsequently reported that Mbappé could end up staying at the club at least for this summer. According to the information of the French newspaper L’Équipe, the player himself should have informed the management that he did not want to leave for free. However, it is not clear that even then the contract will be extended until 2025, as requested not only by the president of the Paris unit, Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
