French champions Paris Saint-Germain on Friday left Kylian Mbappe out of the squad for a pre-season tour of Japan, casting further doubt on the star striker’s future.
PSG gave no reason for the omission of France’s captain.
The 29-player squad that flies east on Saturday will include Mbappe’s younger brother, 16-year-old Ethan Mbappe as well as the club’s remaining superstar Neymar.
Mbappe declared in May that he would not extend his PSG contract, which expires next year, but indicated he wanted to remain at the club for a final season.
“I still have a year left on my contract and I am going to honour my contract,” he said.
That would allow him to become a free agent next summer and leave PSG for nothing.
PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi reacted by saying earlier this month that Mbappe “must sign a new contract”,
“We can’t let the best player in the world today leave for free. It’s impossible,” Khelaifi said.
The club are under new management with Luis Enrique as coach
Their Asian tour opens against Cristiano Ronaldo’s club Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia in Nagai, on July 25. PSG then play Cerezo Osaka, also in Nagai and Inter Milan in Tokyo before finishing off the tour in Busan, South Korea, against Jeonbuk Motors on August 3.
Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in August 2017 in a 180-million-euro ($196-million) deal and has gone on to establish himself as one of the world’s most prominent players.
