Mbappe to be available against Toulouse, PSG optimistic of his renewal

French superstar Kylian Mbappe was reinstated in Paris Saint-Germain's first team on Sunday after being sidelined for several weeks amid an ongoing contract dispute.

After a summer of flux at the Parc des Princes filled with new arrivals and Lionel Messi's departure, it is the Mbappe stand-off that continues to dominate the headlines.

The France captain has refused to sign an extension to his PSG deal, meaning he can leave for free next year, with Real Madrid long seen as his preferred destination. PSG want to sell him now and bring in a significant transfer fee for a player who cost 180 million euros from Monaco in 2017.

Nonetheless, the Parc des Princes outfit seem to have changed their minds as they are now optimistic that the French star will sign his extension.

The striker has been in contact with Al-Khelaifi and Luis Enrique in recent weeks and the board believe Mbappe could renew his contract in the coming weeks.

The 24-year-old was sidelined for the match against Lorient but he is expected to play as starter in the match against Toulouse on the second matchday of Ligue 1, according to 'SER'.
