PSG bring Mbappe back into first team

Mbappe has been embroiled in a bitter transfer saga with the club after insisting that he would not renew his contract with the PSG and would not leave the club this summer, forcing Les Parisiens to lose him for free in 2024.

The star forward was subsequently frozen out of PSG’s opening Ligue 1 fixture alongside other outcasts Neymar and Marco Verratti as the club tried to force all three players into moving this summer.

However, after struggling to a 0-0 draw against Lorient, PSG have decided to bring Mbappe back into the fold despite the player not changing his stance on leaving on a free transfer next season.
