Mbappe Returns to PSG, Meets Neymar, Hakimi Amid Transfer Saga

• Kylian Mbappe has returned to training with PSG amid speculations of a possible exit
• The forward has already informed the club about his intention to leave them next term
• 6 of his teammates also complained to the club's hierarchy about his recent interviews

Amid the prevailing uncertainty surrounding his future, Kylian Mbappe has joined his Paris Saint-Germain teammates for the first time this preseason.

The 2018 World Cup winner has recently been in disagreement with the PSG hierarchy, expressing his dissatisfaction through interviews and a formal letter.

In his correspondence, he opted to not activate a contract extension clause in his current deal, which expires next summer.

While Mbappe has affirmed his intention to remain with the Ligue 1 champions for the upcoming season, rumours linking him with a potential move to Real Madrid persist, per SB Nation.

Following a brief visit to his father's home nation of Cameroon, the 24-year-old has returned to PSG just before the club embarks on their pre-season preparations under new manager, Luis Enrique.

A video circulating online captured the moment when the four-time Ligue 1 Best Player met up with his Brazilian teammate, Neymar Junior, at the club's state-of-the-art training complex, signalling the start of their training sessions together.

The coming days will reveal if Mbappe is able to establish a rapport with his teammates, amid reports from the Mirror suggesting several of them, including two new signings, have expressed their outrage to the club's hierarchy in response to the Frenchman's recent interviews.

The dynamics within the team will be closely observed to gauge the impact of these interactions on team cohesion and camaraderie for the reigning Ligue 1 champions.

Meanwhile, Mbappe’s recent outburst against PSG has not gone down well with former Italian and West Ham United player, Paolo Di Canio, who has criticised the forward, Sports Brief reported.

In a recent interview, the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner took shots at the club as the fallout of his decision not to activate a one-year contract extension clause continues to crash down.

Di Canio has now labelled Mbappe as 'indecent and disrespectful' towards the Parisians, who have reportedly informed the forward that he must extend his deal or be sold in the summer.

Mbappe removed from PSG poster

In another twist in the tale, Sports Brief also reported on Mbappe not featuring in PSG's poster for their upcoming friendly against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in Japan on July 25.

The French forward was formerly a prominent component of the promotional material published by the Parisians, and fans were quick to notice that he had since been removed.

However, the 24-year-old was expected to resume training with PSG on July 17, meaning the French captain would not be considered match fit to play a role in the upcoming game.
