  • Kylian Mbappe remains firm on his decision to not extend his stay at PSG
  • The French star is reported to have an agreement with Real Madrid
  • PSG are employing every means available to force Mbappe out

Kylian Mbappe’s relationship with French club Paris Saint-Germain looks to have taken a turn for the worse.

If there was any doubt about how sour the relationship between both parties has grown, the latest act from the French champions appears to have provided us with the answer.

Mbappe has remained adamant about seeing out his contract at PSG but may soon begin to have a rethink following the club’s latest action.

The club are not holding back and look set to employ every non-kinetic tactic at its disposal to ensure Mbappe leaves the club this summer.

Per reports from Goal, the latest tactics employed will surely have the forward rethinking his decision.

PSG want Mbappe out

After omitting the 24-year-old from their preseason tour in Japan and sidelining him from first-team involvement, the Ligue 1 champions have made another significant statement.

PSG have removed banners featuring the player's image and opted not to offer the player's jersey for sale at their official stores, per reports from Talksport.

This decision is seen as a strong expression of intent, aligning with Nasser Alkhelaifi's assertion that "no player holds superiority over the club."

The move is particularly noteworthy due to its potential financial repercussions, especially as the club is already navigating the complex terrain of Financial Fair Play regulations.

It remains to be seen if Mbappe, who has been heavily linked to Real Madrid, has what it takes to stand the test of the brewing cold war between himself and his employers.

It should also be recalled that if the forward hands in a transfer request before the 1st of September, he will lose his pending ₤40 million loyalty bonus.

Sports Brief also reported on the Frenchman being spotted hanging out with Real Madrid youngster, Rodrygo, in Sardinia in Italy, raising more questions about his links to the Spanish giants.

Mbappe has been linked with Madrid in what has been one of the longest recent transfer sagas. He also turned down a world-record €300 million bid from Saudi Arabian club, Al-Hilal.
