Revealed: More PSG drama! Kylian Mbappe & Luis Enrique barely speaking as coach offers superstar no explanation for Monaco half-time substitution

Ligue 1

Metz

Paris Saint-Germain

The PSG boss has taken the forward off early twice in as many games, inevitably stirring up controversy about his reasoning. Mbappe was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-kylian-mbappe-chilling-psg-selfies-half-time-substitution-monaco-clash/bltaf994b8805f15981#cscc8aabb56c112c6e" target="_blank">seen in the stands </a>after being withdrawn at half-time by Luis Enrique during their latest clash against Monaco. Now it has been <a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/ligue-1/monaco-psg-paris-un-nul-et-un-gros-malaise-mbappe-01-03-2024-Q4GLVTAJ5NHV7AME5GZCKEC5WU.php?xtor=AD-366" target="_blank">revealed by Le Parisien </a>that Mbappe and the head coach are hardly speaking following the two premature substitutions.

Speaking to the press, Luis Enrique explained the decision to replace Mbappe was a way for PSG to get used to playing without their superstar forward. With Mbappe <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-superstar-kylian-mbappe-guaranteed-to-become-real-madrid-player-explained/blt3f1ead900ed6cba3" target="_blank">set to depart the French capital in the summer</a>, the Spanish coach is keen to find new solutions for life after having one of the world's best players. However, this cannot be done without frustrating Mbappe, who will remain keen to play every minute of every game.

He is expected to earn between €15 million (£13m/$16m) and €20m (£17m/$22m) per year as a base salary before bonuses. Even with the pay-cut, he will become the highest-paid player at the Bernabeu.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Parisians travel to Spain to take on Real Sociedad in the Champions League last 16 on Tuesday, having secured a commanding 2-0 win in the first leg. However, with tensions frayed between Mbappe and Luis Enrique, who knows how many minutes the Frenchman will play.
