  • Kylian Mbappe has been banned from PSG’s first team set up
  • The French Captain has continued to train with the club’s list of undesirables
  • Mbappe was spotted at the club’s dressing room before their game against Lorient

Kylian Mbappe has become a furlough figure at Paris Saint Germain after the club’s hierarchy relegated him to the team of the undesirables amid his ongoing contract situation.

Mbappe who remains a PSG player forced the club into making such radical decision following his letter to the club stating his decision to not extend his contract.

The marquee forward has remained firm on his decision to run down his contract despite the club stating clearly to him per reports from Sky Sports that his decision could have heavy financial repercussions on the rest of his teammates.

However, Mbappe, who continues to remain excluded from the club's current plans, was seen at Parc des Princes prior to the club's season opener.

Mbappe who completed preseason away from the main team, this week had his images removed from the club’s banners and merchandise removed from the club’s official store – an action which according to Marca reiterates the annoyance of the club’s chief with the forward.

In the midst of the commotion caused by the forward's transfer situation, Mbappe has opted to focus on the more positive aspects. French outlet CANAL+ Foot captured a moment of the forward going to have a few words with his estranged teammates ahead of their season opener against Lorient.

Both Mbappe and PSG will hope they can resolve this lingering transfer saga in the most amicable way, despite the reports of the 24-year-old having agreed to a verbal contract with Real Madrid.

PSG identifies another Mbappe replacement

Sports Brief previously reported Paris Saint Germain look to be planning for life without Kylian Mbappe as the French champions look to continue their signing spree of attackers.
