Kylian Mbappe has received a stern warning from Paris Saint-Germain that he will be excluded from any participation during the upcoming season if he opts to remain at Parc des Princes this summer.
Currently, PSG and Mbappe are engaged in a contractual standoff, with the French star asserting that he would rather remain sidelined in Paris for an entire year than relocate to the Middle East this summer.
Although the club reportedly received a substantial €300 million (£259 million or $332 million) bid for Mbappe last month, the situation remains unresolved.
The French club appears resolute in its stance, as journalist Bruno Andrade revealed that PSG has communicated to Mbappe that he will not feature in the 2023–24 season if he decides to stay, having rejected overtures from Saudi Arabia and the Premier League.
As Mbappe’s current contract is set to expire in June 2024, this represents PSG’s final opportunity to avoid a significant financial setback regarding the superstar.
Under the leadership of newly appointed manager Luis Enrique, there seems to have been a notable impact during the early stages of his tenure.
He has already informed players such as Neymar, Hugo Ekitike, Renato Sanches, Gini Wijnaldum, and Juan Bernat that they are free to depart during the summer transfer window without facing any inquiries.
While the French champions are set to commence their Ligue 1 title defence against Lorient this weekend, uncertainty lingers regarding the composition of the playing squad for the upcoming season.
