During a conversation on his Twitch channel, the former Barcelona coach and current PSG manager engaged with one of his subscribers regarding the possibility of playing Mbappe as a center-back in the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona. In a jestful manner, Enrique suggested that if someone were to donate ‘2-3 million’ to the Xana Foundation charity, he would consider benching the talented French player altogether.
Addressing his Twitch audience, Enrique quipped [via @BarcaUniversal on X], “Instead of subscribers, how about donating €4m or €5m to this charity foundation, and perhaps I could give Kylian some rest. Just send me the invoice!”
Enrique turned to the popular streaming platform after announcing the establishment of the Xana Foundation, named after his late daughter who tragically passed away at the age of nine due to cancer. The foundation’s primary objective is to raise awareness and funds to support children battling cancer.
Regarding the Mbappe situation, tensions between the Spanish manager and the French forward have been strained over recent months. The friction arose when Mbappe strongly hinted at his impending transfer to Real Madrid in the summer, leading Enrique to relegate him to the bench on several occasions.
Despite their strained relationship, it is improbable that Enrique will sideline his key asset for the crucial matches against Barcelona on April 10 and April 16. Regardless of their differences, Enrique is expected to prioritize the team’s success and field the World Cup-winning player.
