Conflicting reports emerged on Saturday regarding Laurens’ decision regarding the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s choice. While Le Parisien claimed the player had chosen to depart, other sources indicated no decision had been reached.
Nevertheless, the upcoming days promise to be intriguing, particularly if the player opts to leave. Observers will be keen to see how Paris Saint-Germain handles shaping their squad for the 2024-25 season post-Mbappé.
The funniest ish would be that he decides to stay and these journalists would be made fools instantly and lose all cred… 🤡
True that with Mbappe you can never say anything until the contract is sogned
