Will Kylian Mbappé play in PSG’s Ligue 1 opener?

Paris Saint-Germain have returned from their pre-season tour of Asia as they prepare for their Ligue 1 opener against Lorient. Star man Kylian Mbappé was left out of the PSG squad for the club’s summer tour and will continue to train with the transfer-listed players, according to reports in France.

The French champions continue to leave Mbappé out of the squad due to disagreements over his contract at the Parc des Princes. Mbappé, 24, is now set to be absent from Luis Enrique’s squad for home clash with Lorient.

Dressing room waits for Mbappé

PSG have revealed to French outlet L’Équipe that they only want to work with players who are committed to the club, although the PSG dressing room believe that if a deal does not go through this month, he will be called back into the squad as Les Parisiens can’t afford to leave the best player in the world on the sidelines.

Real Madrid approach

PSG have not ruled out a last-minute Real Madrid approach for Mbappé, although the LaLiga giants could also decide to wait until next year to sign the forward on a free transfer. L’Équipe report that Madrid will not make an offer until Mbappé publicly states his desire to leave the French capital.

Mbappé and Rodrygo

Over the weekend, the France captain was spotted in Italy with Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes, a photo that has helped raise even more questions about his future.
