L'Equipe had access to an explosive conversation that both Mbappé and Nasser Al Khelaifi had as a result of doubts and rumors about the future of the PSG striker. As they revealed, the president of the Parisian club commented to the player "you'll see! You will not play! We will not give up." For his part, the footballer replied: “Will I see? What will I see? You will be the only president who will not let me play".

That meeting occurred on Tuesday, August 8, as reported in L'Equipe. At that time, the PSG team had already returned from their preseason tour, and all eyes were on whether or not Mbappé will resume training with the rest of the team. This decision was not made until the beginning of the past week.
