# Kylian Mbappe Reinstated to PSG First Team Training After Positive Talks
Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has returned to first-team training and is likely to stay at the French champions this summer. After very constructive and positive talks between PSG and Mbappe, the player has been reinstated into the first team training squad.
Mbappe has been in a contract stand-off amid a desire to join Real Madrid but could now extend his contract at PSG. He has one year left on his current deal and has so far refused to sign a new contract, leading to speculation that he could leave the club this summer. Last month, PSG gave Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal permission to talk to the player after making a world-record £259m bid, and he was also left out of the pre-season trip to Asia.
The France captain watched the game on Saturday from the stands with France team-mate Ousmane Dembele, who joined PSG from Barcelona for £43.5m. His reintegration has been arrived at following discussions between all parties in the past 12 hours, and it is thought some kind of agreement is likely that will see Mbappe sign the one-year extension to his present deal as originally envisaged. That would run to 2025 and allow PSG to sell Mbappe to Real next summer if he still wishes to leave the club then.
PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been adamant he would not let the striker leave for nothing, and so it appears that Mbappe will remain at PSG for at least another season, allowing him to continue his impressive record at the club so far – he has scored a club record 212 goals in 260 games since joining in 2017 initially on loan from Monaco before a 180m euro (£165.7m) transfer.
It remains to be seen whether Mbappe will sign the one year extension to his current deal, but it appears that he is likely to remain at PSG for at least another season, much to the delight of fans of the French champions who will be hoping to see him continue his impressive form in the upcoming season.
