Neymar ‘liked’ a social media post hinting at the tension between him and Kylian Mbappé
Qatari owners PSG had told Kylian Mbappé he would never play for the club again after refusing to extend his contract for another season.
However, the forward has returned to the PSG first team following the disappointing 0-0 Ligue 1 opener draw against Lorient after being forced to train on his own during pre-season, with speculation that the Bondynois could now sign a new contract with the club.

Neymar, meanwhile, has agreed to join Saudi club Al-Hilal, who will shell out nearly €100m for the 31-year-old.
The Brazilian will end his six years at PSG, having been targeted by Mbappé, who wanted the French club to sell Neymar last summer because he preferred to play on the left wing.
Neymar has apparently confirmed the speculation, liking a post stating that Mbappé only returned to the first team after his Brazilian teammate’s departure was considered.
