Kylian Mbappe was left out of Paris Saint-Germain’s promotional video for their new home kit as he approaches the end of his contract with the French side.
While there has been no public confirmation, Mbappe is widely expected to depart PSG this summer when his deal expires, with Real Madrid waiting to finally snap up the Frenchman on a free transfer.
PSG are yet to formally address Mbappe’s future but dropped the biggest hint yet about his upcoming departure with the release of their new kit, with the 25-year-old nowhere to be seen in the promotional video.
Instead, Luis Enrique’s side are represented in the footage by Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha.
PSG will hold a celebration ceremony on Sunday evening to mark their Ligue 1 title triumph after their meeting with Toulouse, which is likely to be Mbappe’s final home game at the club.
L’Equipe suggest Mbappe could confirm his departure from PSG during the ceremony but there have been mounting tensions behind the scenes over his decision not to announce anything about his future until so late in the campaign.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi had hoped to prepare a grand tribute for Mbappe but now fears doing so could upset fans, who have been left in the dark about the 25-year-old’s future at the club despite immense speculation which has dragged on for months.
Enrique’s side still have three games remaining this season, with trips to Nice and Metz rounding out their triumphant campaign next week.
