Mbappé for sale: Contract standoff between PSG and football star reaches boiling point

france24.com

Paris St Germain on Friday dropped Mbappé from their pre-season squad tour in Japan, without giving any reason for their omission.

The 29-player squad that flies east on Saturday will include Mbappé's younger brother, 16-year-old Ethan Mbappé, as well as the club's remaining superstar Neymar.

But France’s captain, who has been taking part in the club’s pre-season preparations, has been cast aside. “For the first time, PSG wants to be stronger than its omnipotent star player.

They have created an inextricable situation,” French sports journalist Pierre Ammiche told RMC radio. “Whatever happens, PSG are going to have to learn to do without Mbappé, at least on this tour,” he said.
