Mbappe is expected to reignite the transfer market in the upcoming months as his future in Paris grows more hazy.

In order to prepare for the 2023–24 season, the France captain will spend the next few weeks in the French capital.

At the end of July, Mbappe’s clause to extend his current contract from 2024 to 2025 will expire as he considers leaving the Ligue 1 champions.

As things stand, PSG are still dedicated to their plan to sell Mbappe if he declines to sign a contract extension, even though Real Madrid are ready to step in.

In an effort to confirm a decision from Mbappe’s side, PSG has decided not to include him in the traveling party. Mbappe will continue to be in Paris and intensify negotiations with his delegates in an effort to find a solution.

Meanwhile…

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spent some minutes of Thursday’s training session trying out new signing Jude Bellingham as a false nine, according to a report from Cadena COPE.

Joselu is the team’s only pure forward at the moment as Ancelotti wanted to see if Bellingham could be an option for that spot as a false nine, per that same report.

It looks like Ancelotti is willing to be creative this season. He will always have the option to revert to the 4-3-3 formation if things don’t go according to plan early on.
