In the columns of L’Équipe, the coach of the Blues, Didier Deschamps, spoke about the situation of his captain at Paris Saint-Germain.
On July 21, Kylian Mbappé was sidelined by Paris Saint-Germain for the pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea. A decision motivated by the announcement of the tricolor striker’s decision not to activate the optional year present in his contract. But while he seemed destined to spend the entire season on the bench until his contractual situation was settled, the Bondynois was nevertheless able to rejoin the Parisian group after the draw of the Rouge et Bleu conceded against Lorient (0-0), during the first day of Ligue 1. A particular context which did not really worry the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, who assured that the Francilien would be well and truly well called in Blues whatever happens.
“The situation was complicated, it has normalized. So much the better. Everyone wins, first estimated the Bayonnais. I chatted with him. It’s very good for the France team of course, but also for the club and for him. In September ? He would have come with us, that’s for sure. We would have made sure to find solutions. It wouldn’t have replaced the competition, but we would have made sure to compensate as much as possible. Kylian would have been with us. If I exchanged with him to push him to renew contact with PSG? No, I’m not getting involved in that. It’s not my role. I discuss with him, as with other players, but it’s their career. I am not an adviser. At most I give them an opinion if they ask me for it »thus entrusted the Desch for L‘Team this Thursday.
