Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach, Luis Enrique, has seemingly confirmed Kylian Mbappe’s imminent departure from the club, expressing well-wishes for the Frenchman’s future endeavors.
The speculation surrounding Mbappe’s departure intensified as Enrique opted to bench the star player during PSG’s lackluster 2-2 draw against Reims at Parc des Princes. Despite being brought on in the 73rd minute, Mbappe failed to leave a significant mark on the game.
Speaking to Amazon Prime Video post-match, Luis Enrique’s remarks were telling: “I wish all the best to Kylian Mbappé for his future. He’s a fantastic player and even more as a person. I really wish him all the best.”
Enrique’s statement serves as a strong indication of Mbappe’s imminent exit from the French capital, a scenario that has been looming for weeks. With Mbappe’s contract set to expire in June, Luis Enrique’s decisions reflect PSG’s preparations for a future without the prolific forward.
Real Madrid emerges as the most probable destination for Mbappe, with the 25-year-old consistently linked with the Spanish giants. Since his breakout with Monaco in 2017, Mbappe’s potential move to Madrid has been a recurring topic, and it seems increasingly likely to materialize this summer.
