Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stunned fans by omitting Kylian Mbappe from their pre-season tour in Japan and putting him on the transfer list.

The Parisian giants’ recent acts show that they believe Mbappe’s heart is with Real Madrid. According to a shocking claim from L’Equipe (via GOAL), the French publication is fairly certain that a shadow deal is already in place for Mbappe to make a spectacular move to Madrid. However, it is expected to take place on a free transfer at the end of the season.

PSG, on the other hand, has chosen to play hardball, stating unequivocally that they would not allow their prized forward to play for them until he agrees to a contract extension. However, Kylian Mbappe has refused to back down into a corner. He’s been open about his desire to finish out his current contract, which expires next summer.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update:

“Understand that PSG considers Mbappe FOR SALE as of today.”

Mbappe has held his cards close to his breast, according to Romano, despite public pronouncements from Al Khelaifi’s club president. The PSG hierarchy wants to know whether he intends to extend his contract or depart, but the forward has yet to divulge his future move, forcing fans to speculate endlessly.

Fans reacted angrily to the news on Twitter, with many urging their clubs to take advantage of Kylian Mbappe’s transfer listing. Here are a few of their tweets:
