The day after PSG-Lorient, Kylian Mbappé will rejoin Luis Enrique’s group, which gives hope for an imminent outcome to the soap opera.
Here is a twist, a real one. Sidelined for a month, Kylian Mbappé will return to the main group of Paris Saint-Germain, this Sunday, for a training session probably quite light the day after the meeting against Lorient (0-0). Information revealed by RMC and confirmed by the club in stride.
“After very constructive and positive discussions between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé before the PSG-Lorient match, the player was reinstated in the first training team this morning”PSG said on Sunday.
Saturday evening, the Bondynois was not selected for this match against the Merlus, but he was in the stands at the Parc des Princes, alongside Ousmane Dembélé in particular, whom he had welcomed to Paris a few hours earlier.
What does this return of Mbappé to Luis Enrique’s main group mean? That PSG gives in to the showdown, after letting its player know that he had to either extend or be sold this summer, otherwise he would be kept out? Or when a contract extension finally seems possible?
This second option has been gaining ground since Saturday, as Canal+ bluntly claimed that the 2018 world champion was ready to discuss a new contract, which was clearly not the case previously. The sequence of events will tell. In the meantime, Mbappé is now applying for a place in the group for the trip to Toulouse on Saturday.
