Mbappe to Meet PSG Owner Today Amid Transfer Uncertainty
Paris Saint-Germain President, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, will come face to face with Kylian Mbappe today for first time since the French national team star sent in letter asking to be allowed to join another club.
Mbappe sent a letter to PSG in June stating he had no intention of extending his contract, which expires in 2024, meaning he could leave for free next summer – a situation club President, Al-Khelaifi, is desperate to avoid.
The France striker later clarified he had not asked the club to allow him to move to Spanish giants Real Madrid, who have tried and failed to land him in the past.
He has been given a deadline of July 31 to commit to staying at PSG until at least the summer of 2025, otherwise he will be sold to the highest bidder next month.
Al-Khelaifi will give a speech to the full squad at their new £250m training ground today, where he will stress the importance of PSG as an institution and the squad giving their full support to new head coach Luis Enrique.
Mbappe returned to PSG training on Monday for the first time since he told the club he was leaving when his contract runs out next summer. He had standard medical checks and will resume full training this morning.
PSG squad members who played for their countries in June did not have to return until yesterday.
