Mbappe, five other players to part ways with PSG ahead of pre-season tour

Paris Saint-Germain, in the wake of Kylian Mbappe’s impending departure, is undergoing a significant squad overhaul ahead of the new season. Alongside the high-profile star, PSG has made the decision to part ways with five more players as they prepare for their pre-season tour of Asia.

The Ligue 1 champions have excluded Georginio Wijnaldum, Leandro Paredes, Julian Draxler, Abdou Diallo, and Colin Dagba from their touring squad. Le Parisien reports that these players are no longer considered integral to PSG’s future plans, signaling a clear intent to reshape the team.

Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos were the first to bid adieu to Parc des Princes, as their contracts expired in June, marking a momentous shift in the club’s dynamics.

With Luis Enrique taking the reins as the new head coach, PSG is embarking on a rebuilding phase, aiming to create a formidable team that can conquer both domestic and European competitions.

For the players set to leave, including Mbappe, their journey continues at the PSG Campus, where they will remain to train while the team prepares for their pre-season tour in Asia.
