This significant development follows a period of intense speculation surrounding Mbappe’s potential move away from the French capital which even led to his exclusion from PSG’s preseason tour in Asia. The footballing world has been closely watching as Real Madrid remains eager to secure the highly sought-after player’s services.
According to reports from the French newspaper “L’Équipe,” a crucial meeting was held on August 8 between Nasser Al-Khelaifi, President of PSG and Mbappe’s representative to settle the matter once and for all. The discussion was described as heated with Al-Khelaifi telling Mbappe directly “You will see! You won’t play elsewhere, and we won’t give up.”
In response the 24-year-old striker defiantly replied “What will I see? You will be the only president who won’t allow me to play.”
It is worth noting that Mbappe is set to participate in PSG’s second match of the French league where the defending champions will face Toulouse on Saturday.
