Kylian Mbappé's curious action with France before the match against Ireland

Kylian Mbappe's future remains uncertain for now. The Frenchman seems to have temporarily made peace with PSG after a hectic summer where the Parisian team punished him by leaving him out of the preseason in Japan. There were even speculations that he would be sent to the reserves if he didn't renew his contract.

However, prominent media outlets like L'Equipe claim that Mbappe reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to be able to play, and the sacrifice would have been his loyalty bonus established in his last contract renewal with the team.

It seems that this deal convinced the team to reintegrate Mbappe into the first team, where he quickly returned to the fold under Luis Enrique's guidance. After a somewhat lackluster start to the season, joy returned to the team once the forward came back. The result has been two victories, both with Mbappe as a starter, and 5 goals in just 3 matches.

In this FIFA International break, France will face Ireland in the Euro 2024 Qualifiers at Parc des Princes in the French capital. As a result, Donatello is expected to start against The Irish. With this said, a press conference with Didier Deschamps and some players was held today, and the notable absence was Kylian Mbappe.

What happened with Mbappe

MARCA reports that Kylian Mbappe was conspicuously absent from the press conference. This might be because he expected questions about his future, and he chose to avoid such inquiries. In response to this situation, Deschamps himself mentioned that he didn't believe reporters would ask him questions related to the Ireland match.
