PSG give huge Kylian Mbappe transfer update as squad for Toulouse clash named with superstar ‘undesirables’ still absent
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN has given an update on Kylian Mbappe's future at the club.
The star forward has been heavily linked with an exit from the Ligue 1 giants since revealing he would not sign a new contract at the club.
Mbappe, 24, was then forced to train away from the Paris Saint-Germain team while his future was sorted out.
He had been training with the club's so-called "undesirables", a group full of senior players PSG want to sell.
Among the group is the likes of Julian Draxler, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes and former Liverpool star Georginio Wijnaldum.
However, Mbappe has recently returned to first-team training and could be set to make his first appearance for PSG since the commotion around his place at the club.
