Luis Enrique has shared the reason why Kylian Mbappe was substituted during the interval of the clash involving Paris Saint Germain and AS Monaco.
It appears PSG are already preparing for life without Mbappe, with the Frenchman being substituted early on in recent matches.
Kylian Mbappe was benched for Paris Saint Germain's 3-1 win over Lille on February 10, 2024.
About 2 days after he reportedly informed the club of his desire to exit the Parc Des Princes, the France national team captain also started from the bench against Nantes.
Mbappe received just 28 minutes under his belt, as he came on to replace Marco Asensio in the 62nd minute.
Kylian Mbappe also played 65 minutes of action during Paris Saint Germain's 1-1 draw with Rennes on February 25, 2024.
This definitely signifies a drop in the game time the Frenchman has received, with the latest being the game against AS Monaco, where he was substituted for Randal Kolo Muani in the 46th minute.
Mbappe is the all-time top scorer of the Paris-based club, with 244 goals in 293 appearances for the French side.
Certainly, Paris Saint Germain aren't ready to lose Kylian Mbappe, but it's looking more evident as the season draws to its conclusion that he will not be part of the team for the 2024/25 season.
The 25-year-old has been linked with several clubs in recent weeks after it was reported that the former AS Monaco man will exit the Parc Des Princes at the end of the season.
Based on reports from reputable transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, Mbappe informed Paris Saint Germain in February that he will exit the club at the end of the season.
This will see him depart PSG on a free transfer and as a free agent, with Kylian Mbappe apparently keen on joining Real Madrid when his contract ends this summer.
Kylian Mbappe joined Paris Saint Germain from AS Monaco initially on loan on August 31, 2017.
The 25-year-old was astonishing during his loan spell in Paris, with PSG subsequently coughing out €180 million to sign him permanently in 2017.
Unfortunately, they will likely be losing him on a free, based on current realities, which will leave them with a rollercoaster of emotions.
On one end, it appears like they did good business, given what Mbappe has done at the club so far.
He won all the available trophies that can be won at the club, except the elusive UEFA Champions League title.
However, losing arguably the best player currently in football is one headache that might linger with the Parisians for the coming years.
Meanwhile, speaking on why Kylian Mbappe was subbed off at halftime in the game involving Paris Saint Germain and Monaco, manager Luis Enrique said:
“I have been in football for quite a long time, you must know that everything is important in this kind of club.
“Sooner or later we will play without Mbappé, we have to get used to that”.
Mbappe was captured in footage shared by TNT Sport, unbothered minutes after he was substituted, with him being apparently on a phone call.
Kylian Mbappe was donning a black Hoodie alongside a black Sweatpant, and he was pictured alongside his mother in the stands during the second 45 minutes of the league encounter against Monaco.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has made 33 appearances this campaign, scoring 32 goals and providing 7 assists in all competitions.
