On Thursday, Kylian Mbappé shared a final image on Instagram, showcasing himself before a palm tree in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where he’d enjoyed a significant portion of his holiday. Surprisingly, by early Friday afternoon, he reappeared in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near the Camp des Loges training ground. A brief video even captures him participating in light fitness drills on the pitch.
Nevertheless, it’s tomorrow, for a training session slated for 3 p.m., that the PSG squad officially received their call-up from manager Mauricio Pochettino and his coaching team. This summons comes just 48 hours before their Coupe de France last-16 clash against Vannes (National 2) on Monday evening (9:10 p.m.). It’s worth noting that the South American players (Messi, Marquinhos, Paredes, Di Maria, Icardi, Neymar) and Navas are not anticipated until Sunday.
Mbappé, having recently marked his 23rd birthday, demonstrates his commitment with this early return. His dedication to fully supporting PSG during the second half of the season, potentially his final in Paris, is clear.
Beginning this Saturday, he’s legally permitted to discuss and ink a contract with any other team. This development has fueled speculation in the Madrid media, anticipating his transfer to Real Madrid. However, PSG haven’t yet closed the door on discussions.
