• The France superstar has refused to sign an extension and has reportedly decided to stay at the Paris Saint-Germain this season
• The PSG boss has addressed the situation and stands with the club's decisions

The Kylian Mbappe saga has dominated the summer transfer window, and there are no signs that it will end any time soon.

With the 2023/24 Ligue 1 season kicking off this weekend, Paris Saint-Germain coach, Luis Enrique, has fired a warning to the French superstar.

The 24-year-old world cup winner refused to sign a contract extension, meaning he will leave as a free agent next season. The Ligue 1 champions don't want their major asset to leave for free, so they want to sell him this summer. So we could be set for a dramatic end to the summer transfer window.

On Friday, multiple reports indicated that Mbappe told the club he is not leaving the club this summer under any circumstances, per Sky Sports. The club are now prepared to freeze him out until his contract runs out.

Mabppe has been forced to train alone after he was omitted from the club's pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea.

Enrique's message to Mbappe

Speaking ahead of PSG's opening Ligue 1 game against Lorient, the former Barcelona boss said he will put the club's interest above that of any other player. This means Mbappe will not feature in PSG's league opener.

“I hope and wish that, just like in the past [last summer], the same thing will happen again, and that the club and the player can reach an agreement. That’s what I would like. The philosophy of this club is very clear: that the club is above everything and I share it 100 per cent."

Neymar, the world's most expensive footballer, also informed the club he wants to leave this summer.
