The French club is looking to get rid of some of the players

PSG are looking for a rebuild after signing a few players in the summer and are also trying to offload a few others. The atmosphere is good in the group of undesirables from the French club and they often joke about winning a football match against the first-team group.

Kylian Mbappe continues training separately from the Paris Saint-Germain first-team squad.

In his training group, the striker allegedly boasted to the other athletes that they could defeat PSG’s first team in any matchup. It is yet another sign of the player’s unhappiness in the French city and the probability that he will eventually leave.

The French club is willing to make a profit on the phenom this summer because their top aim is to make sure he does not depart without paying a transfer fee.

The Ligue 1 champions’ star player claims he plans to stay with them past this summer, but it is believed that PSG would push for his departure because doing otherwise would mean losing out on a historic transfer fee. As a result, the player and I have reached a kind of impasse.

Despite being heavy favourites to recruit the striker for years, Real Madrid have thus far been unable to land the Frenchman.

Due to the delicate nature of the issue and the rising likelihood of his departure, Mbappe was not included in PSG’s preseason tour.

The Spanish powerhouses are concentrating on adding forwards after Karim Benzema declared his departure in June and with Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio, and Mariano Diaz all leaving as free agents this summer (the latter of whom was the sole acknowledged centre striker in Madrid’s senior team). The only established senior centre striker in their lineup is the new acquisition Joselu.

There is currently less than a month left in the transfer window, but Mbappe’s future is still a mystery. As the superstar continues to practise apart from the team’s primary core of players, PSG have remained steadfast in their position.
