Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly been urged to bench Kylian Mbappe for the season if he does not sign a new deal.
Reports in France last week suggested that Mbappe, who is heading into the final year of his current deal, had informed the Ligue 1 giants that he will not be extending his contract with the club.
That leaves PSG with a decision to either sell the 2018 FIFA World Cup now or risk losing him for free at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
Former France international Eric Di Meco feels Les Parisiens should take the decision to keep Mbappe out of the team for the season if he has no intention of extending his stay.
"What you can do when you are PSG and you are powerful is say: 'You don't want to continue (with us)? Well, you can stay on the bench all year.'
"Paris has the means to do it. And by doing that, you show the guys who arrive that they cannot run the show."
