On Saturday, conflicting reports emerged about Laurens’ decision to choose the champion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. While Le Parisien stated the player chose to go, other sources said no decision had been made.
Nonetheless, the coming days promise to be interesting, especially if the player chooses to leave. Observers will be watching to see how Paris Saint-Germain shapes their roster for the 2024-25 season without Mbappé.
