After rumors intensified about an agreement between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid, The reality of the French star changed drastically at Paris Saint-Germain, losing prominence in the team led by Luis Enriquewith whom the player met this Saturday to talk about the issue.
According to the newspaper L’Equipé, the meeting between both parties took place this Saturday at the training facilities of the Parisian team just one day after Kylian Mbappé was substituted at halftime of the match played at AS Monaco’s home and that ended with a goalless draw and with the player in the stands accompanied by his mother.
This was not the first time that something similar has happened with the PSG captain, an indispensable figure in the Parisian team but who several weeks ago surprised everyone by informing the club that he will not renew his contract and will therefore leave at the end of this season.
In the previous Ligue 1 match, which also ended with a draw but this time against Stade de Rennes (1-1), The Spanish coach chose to substitute the French striker in the 65th minute even though they were down on the scoreboard..
That is why this Saturday there was a meeting between the two, which according to French press reports “lasted a few minutes” and where Kylian Mbappé asked Luis Enrique for an explanation for his decision to replace him.
According to the source cited by L’Equipé, The Spanish strategist acknowledged a “lack of communication” with the PSG star although at the same time he reiterated the position that he has been showing before the media in recent games when he is consulted about his decision to give him fewer and fewer playing minutes.
And Luis Enrique has indicated that taking into account that the player will not renew his contract at the end of the season, he wants to get used to the team for the moment in which he cannot count on his top figure, of which he also recognized that there is a great dependence and it is something that wants to change in the near future.
However, it is expected that this position of Luis Enrique will only be in the French championship where PSG is the leader of the classification by a wide margin, but things would return to normal in the Champions League where they are playing the round of 16
This Tuesday they will meet again in the second leg of the tie that the French dominate thanks to the contribution of Kylian Mbappé who scored one of the two goals in the victory achieved in mid-February in the first leg played in Paris (2- 0).
