Kylian Mbappe watched the second half of PSG‘s game against former side Monaco from the stands after being substituted at half time.
The forward is set to leave the French side in the summer on a free transfer, joining Real Madrid after seven years of a love-hate relationship with his current team.
After signing a new contract at the end of the 2021-22 season, Mbappe had regularly voiced his frustration at a number of goings on at the club, and had been begged not to leave for free by club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
That will almost certainly be the case in the summer, however, and Mbappe left his current team-mates behind with the Ligue 1 game, with the score at 0-0 at the interval.
It wasn’t the first time the 25-year-old has been substituted early under Luis Enrique, with the former World Cup winner taken off after 65 minutes in the draw with Rennes last week.

Mbappe went to sit in the stands with his entourage, and could be seen in the tunnel on the phone at the start of the second half. He had gone down injured in the 27th minute of the game but played the rest of the first period.
