The uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s future at Paris Saint-Germain has intensified. As the 2023-24 Ligue 1 season begins, the capital club has to decide on their 24-year-old star.
L’Equipe reports are unlikely to feature in the squad for the team’s Ligue 1 opener against FC Lorient. However, there might be other games that the Frenchman misses.
According to the French media outlet, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner could miss the Aug. 20 contest against Toulouse FC at the Stadium de Toulouse.

The absence of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner further fuels speculation about his potential move to Real Madrid, given his impending free-agent status next summer.
With Real Madrid’s interest in Mbappé becoming increasingly apparent, PSG faces a pivotal decision: retain the player for another season and risk losing him for free, or negotiate a transfer fee and part ways with one of the world’s most talented footballers.
As the transfer deadline approaches, the saga surrounding the French captain will be closely followed by many.
