Details of Kylian Mbappe’s blazing row with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi have been revealed.
Mbappe has been in dispute with PSG for much of the summer, having refused to take out a one-year option in his contract to extend the deal until 2025.
When he made this apparent, he was placed on the transfer list, with the Ligue 1 champions of the belief that he had already agreed to join Real Madrid as a free agent in 2024, when his deal is due to expire.

Mbappe turned down all offers and was frozen out of PSG’s tour to Japan and South Korea, while he also missed the opening competitive game of the season against Lorient in Ligue 1.
Following that scoreless draw, PSG and Mbappe agreed to a truce that will see the striker return to action on Saturday against Toulouse – a match in which his performance is sure to be closely scrutinised.
It will be Mbappe’s first appearance in a PSG shirt since his notorious row with president Al-Khelaifi on 8 August, which was revealed by Le Parisien.

What did Mbappe say to Al-Khelaifi
L’Equipe has now gone deeper into details of the clash, revealing what the two parties said to each other as tensions ran high.
The president of PSG told Mbappe: “You'll see! You will not play again! We will not give in!”
The player replied: “You’re going to see? But what am I going to see? You will be the only president who doesn’t have me play!”
Mbappe is back in the PSG squad this weekend as relations between the pair have thawed, largely because of the work that the club has done in the transfer market.
Neymar has been allowed to move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal in a transfer that pleased Mbappe, while the France striker has also been satisfied with the work that PSG have done to attract signings like Ousmane Dembele and Marco Asensio to the club this summer.
