OFFICIAL: Mbappe has been reintegrated into Paris Saint-Germain first squad

Kylian Mbappe has been reintegrated into Paris Saint-Germain first squad

PSG statement:

'Following very constructive, positive talks between PSG and Kylian Mbappé before game vs Lorient, the player has been reinstated into first team training squad this morning'.

Mbappe has been training with the “undesirables” since the squad departed for a pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea after the France captain refused to extend his contract with the club. Les Parisiens are determined not to lose Mbappé on a free next summer but believe he already has a pre-contract agreement to join Real Madrid.

Even when the squad returned from the Far East, Mbappe wasn’t reintegrated, and he was subsequently left out of PSG’s Ligue 1 opener against Lorient. The AS Monaco academy product was, however, present at the Parc des Princes to watch a toothless PSG side draw against Les Merlus.

During the match, L’Équipe reported that Mbappé and the club were back on speaking terms, and were seeking to ease tensions. Although, there is still a long way to go before Mbappe signs a renewal at the club. President Nasser Al Khelaifi has reportedly told Mbappe that he won’t play for the club again, unless he signs a renewal, preventing him from leaving on a free, but a significant development at PSG’s training centre on Sunday morning sees Mbappe reintegrated into the first-team set-up.
