Kylian Mbappé will be barred from training with Paris Saint-Germain’s main first-team group as his contract dispute with the club continues. PSG return to their training base on Monday after their tour of Japan and South Korea, but Mbappé will be part of the so-called ‘loft’ training group rather than the first team. PSG sources remain convinced the forward, out of contract next summer, has agreed a free transfer deal with Real Madrid. Mbappé’s management are understood to have refused to engage with an offer from the club to sign a new contract containing a guaranteed sale clause, which would allow him to join another club for a fee next summer. PSG had given Al-Hilal permission to speak to the player after they made a world record bid of £259m last month, but Mbappé reportedly refused to even meet with delegates from the Saudi club who had flown to Paris. PSG kick off their 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign at home to Lorient on Saturday.
