Mbappe dropped from PSG's squad for Asian tour

Kylian Mbappe excluded from PSG squad amid reports of potential sale.

The relationship between Kylian Mbappe and Paris St Germain (PSG) has been strained lately. Mbappe recently announced that he would not be renewing his contract with the club, which is set to expire at the end of next season. This means that he could potentially leave PSG for free.

In response to this, PSG has reportedly decided to put Mbappe up for sale. There are rumors that he has already agreed to join Real Madrid next summer without a transfer fee. PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made it clear that they will not let Mbappe go for free, especially considering the hefty sum of 180 million euros ($200 million) that the club spent to sign him.

When contacted for comment, PSG representatives did not immediately respond to the reports. However, it seems that the tension between Mbappe and the club is palpable.

Despite their dominance in Ligue 1, winning nine of the last 11 titles, PSG and Mbappe have been disappointed with their performances in the Champions League. Despite significant investments in their squad, PSG has never won the prestigious trophy. This year, they were eliminated in the last 16 round by Bayern Munich, failing to score in both legs. Mbappe was unable to play in the first leg due to an injury, and he expressed his frustration by stating that they felt "helpless" in the second leg.

Mbappe is not the only high-profile player who may leave PSG. Brazilian forward Neymar has also been rumored to be considering an exit from the club. However, Neymar has been included in coach Luis Enrique's squad for their upcoming match against Al Nassr in Japan, which features Cristiano Ronaldo.

PSG's pre-season tour will also include matches against Cerezo Osaka from the Japan league and Serie A side Inter Milan. They will then travel to South Korea to face Jeonbuk Motors.

In conclusion, the relationship between Mbappe and PSG has become strained following his decision not to renew his contract. PSG has reportedly put him up for sale, as they do not want to lose him for free. The club's disappointment with their Champions League performances, as well as the potential departure of other key players like Neymar, adds to the uncertainty surrounding PSG's future.
