Kylian Mbappé Paris Saint-Germain Nasser AlKhelaifi

The well-documented rift between Kylian Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain added another dramatic chapter on Friday following the French club’s latest decision regarding its disgruntled superstar forward.

With Mbappé looking to move on from PSG, the reigning Ligue 1 champions made an eye-opening call to leave the 24-year-old off of their traveling squad ahead of their upcoming pre-season tour of Japan, the club announced.

PSG’s decision to hold Mbappé also coincides with the club officially putting the striker up for sale, per multiple reports. Interestingly, the news followed another standout Mbappé appearance for PSG, as the four-time Ligue 1 Player of the Year came off the bench and scored in a 2º0 friendly win over Ligue 2 side Le Havre.
