I think this decision is more about honouring him so that he doesn't end up leaving for free.
Mbappe's 1 season contract extension is only to secure PSG's money because in the agreement according to some reports there is an appendage that he must be sold next season so that indirectly this indicates that this is only a formality for PSG so as not to lose their money and this can also be interpreted as a return of favour from Mbappe who has indeed been given special benefits at PSG.

No one can guarantee Mbappe future, whether he will stay or leave PSG. The transfer market is still open until 1 September, speculation regarding his future will continue as long as the transfer window has not closed. Luis Enrique is well aware that without Mbappe in the XI PSG cannot do much, the draw against Lorient is a fact.

In the midst of this situation, PSG was faced again with the fact that their star player, Neymar, would leave them. Calling him back to the main maybe squad could be a good option, Mbappe could help PSG.

it seems like that the pressure from PSG was working on him. Mbappe thinks for twice regarding extending his contract in PSG. Mbappe has been talking directly with khelaifi regarding his future in the club.

So far so good. We can expect the news about his future to come some days later. I expect mbappe to renew his contract in PSG for another year.

it seems like that all of rumors related to the madrid were only fake rumors. People were talking about madrid too much but they forgot if PSG is always trying to approach him.

I would say Mbappe should not be in the squad if he is not interested in renewing his contract with PSG. Luis Enrique is the new coach of the team. He should be given the responsibility of building a new squad. If Mbappe is kept in the squad this season, maybe PSG can play well this season, Mbappe can score a lot of goals. However, if Mbappe leaves the squad next season, there will be another void in the team. And the performance of PSg will become unstable. So this season, Luis Enrique should find replacements for Messi, Neymar and Mbappe and rebuild PSG's squad.

It seems that it was a tactic from PSG management to attack Mbappe's mentality, because he was quite unstable to decide this.
If you see a search from Google about Mbappe in his profile for the current team category, there is only him being a player of the Francis national soccer team, not the name of PSG on his current profile in Google's search.

This is a big question mark for me too, what's up? And why?. His status is unclear due to his own selfishness, there is no other choice for Mbappe today is to extend his contract with PSG, and if there are teams who want it to have to pay a high price.

Mbappe surely looks at Harry Kane and how that striker stuck at Tottenham after renewing his contract with Spurs some seasons ago. He knows that if he signs a new contract and if it is a long one, he will stuck in PSG similarly to Kane in Tottenham. Logically Mbappe will not repeat that bad decision with a long contract but PSG on their side, don't want to repeat a same mistake by signing one more year contract with Mbappe. Each new contract, higher salary, more power for Mbappe but at the end, PSG will fall into a similar situation on transfer market. They are smart enough after some lessons to not put themselves into another headache.

They, PSG and Mbappe, no longer look at a same direction and they will separate with each other soon. This summer or next summer, their separation will occur. We must be ready for time when Mbappe no longer wear PSG shirts and play for them.

Mbappe did not discuss any long-term contract with the PSG board president, Mbappe may have discussed with the president that he will only stay at PSG for one more season and play his best for PSG for one season. When Mbappe was rumored to be leaving the club, PSG invited Mbappe to extend his contract, but Mbappe made it clear that he was not willing to extend his contract with PSG. PSG was angry with Mbappe's behavior but in the end PSG did not see any possibility of profit without losing themselves in conflict with Mbappe, because of which the one season that Mbappe will be at PSG, PSG may get the best performance from Mbappe and maybe the board president and Mbappe discussed. Since PSG is not getting along with Mbappe in any way, I think PSG has made the right decision to negotiate with Mbap at this moment.

There seems to have been recent info saying about, Mbappe is willing to extend his contract and it seems to be true. Because after all, it seems that Mbappe does not have a strong stance and is still very unstable in making decisions. Because anyway, when yesterday Mbappe was not included in the list of players when PSG against Lorient, it also seemed to be a surefire way to make Mbappe change his choice become stay at PSG.

Because in the end, Mbappe seemed willing to extend his contract and of course, with an increased salary amount. So, if this really happens, then it looks like Mbappe will be at PSG for a long time and will not leave. That way too, then Mbappe transfer to Real Madrid so far is likely to only be a rumor and will never happen, because Mbappe is very unstable and does not have a strong stand.

Mbappe said he wanted to stay in psg and leave for free next summer, and that is what's happening, nothing about that changed, the only change in all of this is that psg said he was going to be frozen out of the team if he didn't sign a new contract and that he wasn't going to play any game this season, but that is not what they have done, they have brought him back into the team, even though he hasn't yet extended his contract with psg. Psg are not a club with strict policies, they are building their team around a single player who is probably going to leave them next season, this is why they aren't going to win the champions leaue yet.

Perhaps Mbappe is not going anywhere else after leaving PSG. Now he will play the next matches regularly. The news of Mbappe's discussion with the PSG board president is being heard, which suggests that Mbappe is staying at PSG.

The first match in Ligue 1 PSG met Lorient and ended less optimally because it was only a 0 - 0 draw.
This was an unexpected start and of course we can never believe that PSG, which has become the strongest club in Ligue 1, cannot beat Lorient.
We haven't really seen a final decision between Mbappe and PSG because in yesterday's game Mbappe did not play against Lorient and I have even seen the statistics of PSG players and Mbappe is also not on the list of reserve players or substitutes for injured or suspended players also did not see Mbappe's name listed there.
From here, there is one question, is Mbappe really going to leave PSG?
 

Mbappe is starting to open his heart for PSG after he was making the drama become even longer than he has expected. Guti has been also responding it by saying real madrid must have signed haaland instead of mbappe from PSG.
Mbappe has been also called as acting for money.

I thought that if mbappe will be playing as central striker to replace goncalo ramos which has been bought by PSG. I can't deny mbappe can also play as a winger but PSG was always using him as central striker last season.
Im feeling doubt if PSG will be using him as winger instead of striker.

As you rightly said this is an opportunity for PSG to learn how to play without their star player mbappe.
They only played one match and could not score and therefore they concluded that the only man that can score for them is Mbappe
But whatever happens we should know that Mbappe will not be in the PSG squad forever. This little disagreement between him and the club should be a serious lesson to the club and as well as other football clubs who is intending to give a particular player a contract that wil make him bigger than the club. Even if Mbappe has agreed to be with PSG this season. They might likely not convince him not to remain. Even if they are making efforts to extend the contract, Mbappe will  put a clause that will gve him my edge next year.

Mbappe is already returning to training with the main team, from which we can conclude that PSG could not agree on a transfer with anyone, and this is not surprising given how much PSG wanted to get for Mbappe. Maybe they will now try throughout the current season to try to convince him to extend his contract with PSG, because if he leaves the team next summer as a free agent, it will be a big loss for PSG.

I don't think PSG planed to use Lee Kang-In and expect him to be another Son Heung-Min in Europe. It's a good player but PSG bought him with more marketing plan for their club in South Korea than simply about his quality and contribution in football.

Asensio already proved his ability in Real Madrid but he is not a star player who can decide matches but at least with Asensio, PSG will have better contribution for defense than from Mbappe, Neymar or Messi.

Lee Kang-In is like a temporary solution from PSG in the meantime to convince Mbappe signing a new contract or to find a new star player to replace him at that position. Of course Lee can take advantage of the great chance to show his ability and become an important player in PSG. He has chance and he must catch it to build up a better career in Europe.

Mbappe is important with PSG but I think it is time for them to no longer think about his contribution for their club. They must aim at future without Mbappe and build up tactics without him or big star players in this season or next one.

It doesn't feel like after some time ago the polemic between the two sides has now at least improved a little and Mbappe's return to the main squad is certainly needed to be able to strengthen the attack line. Last week's draw against Lorient proved that the dullness in PSG's attack has been neglected and it's clear that since Mbappe hasn't been in PSG's main squad it has declined. Mbappe who will obviously replace Lee Kang-In's position because basically that is Mbappe's starting position in the first team. There is no doubt about Mbappe's one-on-one skills and his speed is even needed to damage the opponent's defense. So we can only hope that Mbappe can repair what PSG has lost before.

Want or not, PSG have a weaker position than Mbappe and Real Madrid. They only can hope that Mbappe will accept to leave in this summer because they have no chance to sign a new contract with him as well as no chance to sell him if he only wants to stay.

How about a secret additional fee from PSG for Mbappe just to force him leaving in this summer?

Mbappe is different than Messi and Neymar who belong to previous player generations. Messi left them as a free agent and Neymar is going to leave them with a high transfer which of course has lower price than what PSG paid to Barcelona to break Neymar's contract with Barcelona years ago.

Mbappe is now one of brightest star players and PSG has very big reasons to sell him as highest price as possible. Losing Mbappe as a free player is a shame for PSG management and they will have to slap themselves if it happens.

This is not a new phenomenon for us, if some of the top clubs are not optimal in their first debut after the League has been rolled out again. that's what happened to the PSG squad, anyway Enrique played 6 newcomers to become the main starters in their first match. in particular, their forward line players. as a result, the match did not go as the club expected even though they actually played not bad.

Kang-in Lee was rotated by Enrique to become a winger, in fact this player does not play on the wing. however, in that match his role was not too bad. Gocalo Ramos didn't take part in pre-season matches, automatically he can only do his best and try to adapt quickly. for the midfield players, they are pretty good especially Manuel Ugarte. Unfortunately, the results did not meet their expectations.
Maybe they haven't yet achieved a strong bonding and chemistry between the players hasn't been established yet. Next, Enrique has homework to forge a stronger bond between his players. besides that, the presence of Mbappe and Dembele will give new energy to the PSG squad itself. thus, Enrique can be creative with the system he wants. well, like I said in many posts, now PSG's only problem is the lack of well-established attacking midfielders who are also creative. even if they don't succeed in signing Bernaldo Silva, at least PSG can look for other options before the transfer window ends. next week PSG will test their strength at Toulouse headquarters, three points is the result they must get in the match later.

PSG must get used to play without Mbappe as early as possible. I still saw some good things in the match against Lorient. There were some issues with scoring a goal despite the dominance. But this would also get better in time as the new trio in the attacking line are playing together for the first time.

Mbappe can continue to contribute highly this season too. But after this one he is likely to leave the team to join Real Madrid as you know.

PSG are said to be working on an extension of his contract but this time Mbappe seems really determined not to stay. Besides Real Madrid can also offer the same conditions to him.

Mbappe is expected to play against Toulouse four days later. He was out of squad first but thankfully he is back in it again. Because he would be a big loss for PSG if they don't give him a chance while they still have him in the team. There has been a serious tension between sides maybe but it looks like things are better now.

Mbappe would play in Asensio or Lee Kang-in's place in this game most probably. He is already not playing completely like a winger or centre-forward. He is more like the key player of the team who gets the most amount of passes and creates big goal opportunities by using his one-on-one skills.
