Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has returned to first-team training and is likely to stay at the French champions this summer.<\/p>\n

The France forward, 24, had not been training with the first-team squad and was left out of PSG\u2019s\u00a00-0 season opener with Lorient\u00a0on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He has been in a contract stand-off amid a desire to join Real Madrid but could now extend his contract at PSG.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PSG said Mbappe was reinstated after \u201cvery constructive and positive\u201d talks.<\/p>\n

The France captain watched the game on Saturday from the stands with France team-mate Ousmane Dembele, who\u00a0joined PSG from Barcelona for \u00a343.5m.\u00a0He was also left out of the pre-season trip to Asia.<\/p>\n

Mbappe has one year left on his current deal and has so far refused to sign a new contract.<\/p>\n

Last month, PSG gave Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal\u00a0permission to talk to the player\u00a0after making a world-record \u00a3259m bid.<\/p>\n

His reintegration has been arrived at following discussions between all parties in the past 12 hours.<\/p>\n

PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been adamant he would not let the striker leave for nothing and it is thought some kind of agreement is likely that will see Mbappe sign the one-year extension to his present deal as originally envisaged.<\/p>\n

That would run to 2025 and allow PSG to sell Mbappe to Real next summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing very constructive and positive discussions between Paris St-Germain and Kylian Mbappe before the PSG \u2013 Lorient game, the player has been reinstated into the first team training squad this morning,\u201d PSG said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
