Emmanuel Macron confirmed that he had “phoned” Kylian Mbappé before the PSG forward announced his refusal to move to Real Madrid, and had “advised him to stay in France”. In the long interview published by the main regional newspapers and by Le Parisien, Macron confirms what Mbappé said in the press conference in which he formalized his renewal with Paris Saint-Germain. The player said he had received “advice” from the French president who hoped he would stay in France. Macron, a fan of Olympique Marseille, confirmed Mbappé’s version: “I assure you, I do not intervene in any transfer – Macron said – I am like an ordinary citizen when it comes to sports, with the desire to see a good game and play cheering for a team, in my case Olympique Marseille “. Then, however, he confirmed that “he had had a discussion with Kylian Mbappé before” his choice to extend his relationship with PSG until 2025: “but it was only to advise him to stay in France. When he is asked informally and friendly, the role of a president is to defend the country. ”
