Kylian Mbappe has been left out of Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for their preseason tour of Japan and put up for sale.
The rest of his team-mates will leave for Asia on Saturday.
PSG are convinced Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, a move that is viewed as a huge betrayal after he said he would never leave for free.
PSG only want players on the tour who are committed to the club and want to be at the club and take the view that no player is more important than the club.
The club sought clarity from Mbappe when training resumed this month but nothing has been communicated by the player.
PSG, therefore, assume Mbappe wants to leave for free and plans for life without him must begin, starting with their pre-season tour of the Far East.
Mbappe is now for sale and the club will engage with suitors, of which there are many who have been waiting for developments.
