Transfer saga: PSG bars Kylian Mbappe from first-team training

Kylian Mbappe will not train with PSG first team players again.

The 24-year-old will be ‘barred’ from the first-team amid his lingering contract saga.

After their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea, PSG are back to their training base, however, Mbappe is not expected to be on the pitch with his usual teammates.

According to the PA news agency, the 2022 World Cup finalist will instead be part of the ‘loft’ training group 

PSG believe that Mbappe has already agreed a free transfer deal with Real Madrid.

Those in charge of the former Monaco ace are said to have refused to engage with an offer from the French champions to sign a new contract containing a guaranteed sale clause. 

PSG feel that there is no reason why the player  would reject the offer.

Chelsea and Barcelona are said to be interested in signing Mbappe this summer and are trying to work out a player-plus-cash deal for the 24-year-old.
