Kylian Mbappe’s future was further questioned when French champions Paris Saint-Germain left him out of the team for a preseason tour of Japan on Friday.
The reason for leaving out France’s captain was not stated by PSG.
Ethan Mbappe, 16, and the club’s last remaining star Neymar will both be on the 29-player team that departs for the east on Saturday.
Mbappe stated in May that he would not renew his PSG contract, which expires next year, but that he did intend to play one more season for the team.

“I still have a year left on my contract and I am going to honour my contract,” he said.
That would allow him to become a free agent next summer and leave PSG for nothing.
PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi reacted by saying earlier this month that Mbappe “must sign a new contract”,
“We can’t let the best player in the world today leave for free. It’s impossible,” Khelaifi said.

Their Asian tour opens against Cristiano Ronaldo’s club Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia in Nagai, on July 25. PSG then play Cerezo Osaka, also in Nagai and Inter Milan in Tokyo before finishing off the tour in Busan, South Korea, against Jeonbuk Motors on August 3.
Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in August 2017 in a 180-million-euro ($196-million) deal and has gone on to establish himself as one of the world’s most prominent players.
