the captain of Paris Saint Germainthe Brazilian Marquinhos said this Sunday in Osaka, Japan, that he is rooting for a solution so that Kylian Mbappé, discarded for the PSG trip to Asia, can be reinstated to the team.
PSG are on their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea without their striker, who has been sidelined amid a dispute between the player and the club over his contractual status.
The subject is “delicate”, pointed out the Brazilian defender. Mbappé, “is an exceptional player, very strong, but it is a decision that is above us, players. It is from the board”, explained Marquinhos.

“We always want to have the great players by our side, I hope that a good solution is found so that he can be part of the group and help us this season”, concluded the Brazilian.
Paris Saint-Germain are pressuring Mbappé, the club’s all-time leading goalscorer, to renew his contract or agree to a transfer this summer rather than leaving for free at the end of his contract in 2024.
