New PSG direction convinced Kylian Mbappe about trusting the process

The breaking news surrounding Kylian Mbappe's new situation at PSG and his reintegration into Luis Enrique's first-team squad, accompanied by a shift in his perspective regarding a potential contract extension have been the topic of the day.

The prolonged standoff between the young star and the team's management seems to be inching toward resolution with a contract extension looming.

Sunday morning's bombshell started with PSG announcing Mbappe's reinstatement within the main training team under Luis Enrique's guidance. The Parisian forward had been at a standstill with the club, initially expressing his desire to avoid triggering the additional year in his contract.

Recent constructive and positive talks between Mbappe and the board of PSG paved the way for this reconciliation, as PSG stated in their press release after the PSG-Lorient match on August 12 that saw Paris drop the first two points of the season in Ligue 1.

Media reports soon followed, suggesting that Mbappe's stance had softened considerably, and he is now open to the idea of extending his contract with the French champions through June 2025.

This shift has considerably reduced the likelihood of a summer departure. In fact, Mbappe participated in training on Sunday at the Poissy PSG Campus, observed by the watchful eyes of leaders Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

Several factors influenced this change in direction for Mbappe. Both sides have demonstrated a willingness to come to a middle ground, even though caution still prevails regarding the possibility of a contract extension.

Al-Khelaifi, PSG's president, signaled Mbappe's continued presence for the upcoming season, reassuring the rest of the team. Mbappe is showing optimism about the direction of the new Parisian project. Feeling let down by unfulfilled promises from his leaders in the previous season, the French striker has witnessed significant positive changes during this transfer window.

A notable shift was the arrival of Goncalo Ramos as a genuine number 9 and a "pivot" that fits his preferred style of play, as well as the recruitment of his compatriot and friend, Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona.

Additional offensive signings are expected before the transfer window closes, and the probable departure of Neymar to Saudi Arabia adds another layer of change.

In Mbappe's eyes, the club is moving in the right direction, leading to a reevaluation of his future at PSG. The possibility of a new contract in the coming weeks has emerged, indicating a potential extension to his PSG adventure.
