- PSG feuding with World Cup winner Mbapp
- Star refused new deal amid LIVERPOOL interest
- French club take down posters of him and stop selling his shirts
WHAT HAPPENED? The France international has been tipped to leave the Ligue 1 champions this summer having refused to sign a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in 2024. Rather than seeing him leave on a free, the Paris Saint-Germain board are trying to recoup a fee for him, whilst preventing him from training with the first-team; and he was also omitted from the French side’s pre-season tour squad. Now, PSG have turned up the heat on Mbappe by seemingly taking down posters of their star player that were draped across their home stadium and it appears his name is also missing from the kits being sold at club shops in Paris – as reported by GFFN via Gol
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 24-year-old, who is currently being forced to train with the ‘bomb squad’ made up of PSG undesirables, is in a stand-off with the club. It is believed the World Cup winner has agreed a deal with LIVERPOOL starting in 2024 but the Paris outfit want to get a sizeable fee for a player they value at €250 million (£215m/$274m). It remains to be seen if Mbappe, who previously branded PSG as a “divisive” club, will play for them this season, with the campaign set to begin this weekend.
WHAT NEXT? PSG start their season at home against Lorient on Saturday, August 12. Whether Mbappe will feature for the team is not yet certain.
