Can Mbappe or PSG resist Real Madrid's interest? Unpacking the latest transfer saga

On Friday evening, after PSG beat Brest 4-2 in Ligue 1 and Kylian Mbappe scored his first goal of the season during another really good performance, the France star didn't travel to Paris with the rest of the team. Instead, he had a private jet waiting for him and went away to enjoy the weekend off that Mauricio Pochettino gave his squad. Oh, by the way: He didn't fly to Madrid, either.

On Monday, he was back at training with his teammates with a smile on his face ready for a big week for the club: on Sunday, Lionel Messi will make his first-team debut for PSG, away at Reims, with Mbappé and Neymar alongside him for the start of a new era in Paris.
