According to Marca (Spain), when the two met at the Elysee Palace on February 28, French President Emmanuel Macron told striker Kylian Mbappe, ‘You will get us into a lot of trouble’.
French President Emmanuel Macron invited Mbappe to a reception during the visit of Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The appearance of the PSG striker fueled speculation that he will be convinced to stay with the Paris squad rather than transferring to Real Madrid, as previously indicated.
Right before the meeting between Mbappe and French President Macron, French press outlets such as the RMC Sport channel stated: “The meeting has nothing to do with PSG or Mbappe’s future. It is essentially a ceremonial meeting. There will be no talk about Mbappe’s future, nor will there be any proposals to persuade this youngster to reconsider his choice to join Real Madrid.”
However, the French press reported prior to the meeting at the Elysee Palace that numerous PSG players would be invited to the reception. “In fact, only Mbappe appeared and this player only went alone when attending the reception of French President Macron, with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani” , Nha, a reporter for AS, remarked.
The cameras of the RMC Sport channel captured the words that French President Macron addressed to Mbappe when they first met: “You will get us into a lot of trouble.” Marca said: “This is a controversial statement because it contains many related meanings, including the intention to pressure Mbappe not to leave PSG.”
Previously, French President Macron had a direct impact on Mbappe’s decision to stay at PSG and sign a two-year contract extension. Mbappe recently declared that his career at PSG will finish after the 2023-2024 season. He selected Real Madrid as a new challenge for himself.
Expert writer Fabrizio Romano stated that Mbappe visited the Elysee Palace to meet French President Macron, the Emir of Qatar, and even PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi. However, this meeting did not have a host.There is no issue with PSG attempting to persuade Mbappe to stay. PSG has decided that Mbappe will go and has moved on to a new project. Mbappe is now solely negotiating to join Real Madrid.
