Mbappé confirmed
Asked about the dinner at the Elysée Palace to which Kylian Mbappé was invited, Emmanuel Macron confirmed that the Bondynois' future at PSG had not been discussed on that occasion
The announcement triggered a number of fantasies. On Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé was invited to a dinner at the Elysée Palace in the company of the Emir of Qatar, Tamim Al-Thani, and the President of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Would PSG's owners take the opportunity to make Mbappé a new offer to convince him to stay? And would Emmanuel Macron, who played a small role in the Bondynois' contract extension to 2022, also use the opportunity to bring his influence to bear? None of the above, according to the main parties involved.
"No discussion" for Mbappé's future
"If it was a dinner to try to hold him back? Not at all," replied Emmanuel Macron on Thursday on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Olympic Village for , the Paris 2024 Olympics. "There was no discussion about it and I leave it to the club's management to do that," the French president assured the media.
So what was Mbappé doing at this dinner? Emmanuel Macron justifies the French team captain's presence with the recent World Cup, and of course his status as a PSG star. It was normal for him to be there, a great champion who helped enliven the French team's final in Qatar," explained the head of state. And PSG, given his shareholding, that's seven seasons (for Mbappé) at PSG! I think all French people admire this very great player, but there was no discussion."
