Foot Mercato reported that Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has acquiesced to coach Luis Enrique to exclude Kylian Mbappe from participating in matches until the end of the season.
The Qatari president’s decision comes as a reaction to Mbappe’s decision not to renew his contract with PSG and his imminent free transfer to Real Madrid next season.
According to the source, what Enrique is replacing Mbappe early in the last two matches is nothing but a decision by the management in cooperation with the coach to reduce the player’s participation in the remainder of the season.
This approach was decided by Paris with Mbappe in the French League only, but he is expected to participate in the Champions League matches fully without a crisis.
Perhaps it is not a strong punishment against Mbappe, but it is also, as Enrique previously confirmed, a preparation for the post-25-year-old era at the Parc des Princes Stadium.
The network concluded its report by saying that what Paris Saint-Germain is doing is a type of “face-saving” because Mbappe rejected all the temptations given to him to stay in the French capital.
