PSG and Kylian Mbappe, at peace with each other following summer drama

What has been a turbulent storyline surrounding Kylian Mbappe and his ties with Paris Saint-Germain appears to be taking a reassuring turn, with both parties at peace with each other and wanting to get the best possible results through the 2023/24 season.
