A fresh insight into the ongoing back-and-forth between French giants Paris Saint-Germain and star man Kylian Mbappe has come to the fore on Saturday evening.
The subject of frontman Mbappe’s future, of course, has taken its place centre stage in the European media headlines over the course of the last 24 hours.
This comes on the back of a bombshell announcement on the part of PSG.
Evidently completely fed up with the behaviour of their one-time talisman, the capital giants first revealed that Mbappe had been omitted from new boss Luis Enrique’s pre-season squad.
And such news was swiftly followed by confirmation on the part of a whole host of sources that the 24-year-old has officially been placed on the transfer market.
Understand PSG consider Mbappé FOR SALE starting from today. ⚠️ #Mbappé

This decision on the part of Nasser Al-Khelaifi and co. comes after Mbappe made clear his intention to see out the remaining year of his contract, before taking his talents to Spain with Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.
What, then, in the case of a stalemate between the two parties?
Well, on Saturday evening, an insight into precisely that has been forthcoming online.
As per French outlet Le Parisien, regarded as altogether reliable when it comes to ongoings at the Parc des Princes, the PSG hierarchy have made clear to their wantaway striker that, if he does not commit to either a contract renewal or sale, he will spend the coming season banished to the stands.
PSG have told Kylian Mbappé that if he does not renew his contract or agree to a sale, he will spend the rest of the season in the stands.
The only way that he will play for PSG again is if he agrees to a renewal. [@le_Parisien]
