The Paris Saint-Germain player admitted Monday, at the microphone of “Tout le sport”, that he had consulted the head of state and appreciated his “good advice” before extending.
Kylian Mbappé has extended at Paris Saint-Germain until 2025. Among the people who would have influenced his decision is a particular football fan: Emmanuel Macron. Interviewed by Fabien Lévêque for the program “Tout le sport”, the Parisian striker confided after his press conference, Monday, May 23, on these discussions and the “good advice” of the head of state. “We exchanged, often. Today, when you are a national figure, you have rights but you also have duties. I have never backed down, I have always wanted to have responsibilities and it is not now that I have some I’m going to run away. We have to assume what we are, the player and the man”said the player.
Kylian Mbappé has “warned of [s]we choose” Emanuel Macron. “He was happy and told me it was very good news for the country.” However, the PSG star ensures that the opinion of the Head of State was not a sine qua non condition for staying at the capital club: “There was not just one phone call (laughs). It’s one parameter among others, obviously, but I haven’t made my decision because he told me to stay. “
