Kylian Mbappé is not like other players. After France’s defeat in the World Cup final, despite scoring a hat-trick, the French striker was consoled by President Emmanuel Macron.
Macron also played a role in Mbappé’s contract extension in 2022, when he was about to sign with Real Madrid. This time, however, it seems there is nothing he can do, as the 2018 world champion has already announced to his club that he will be leaving for the White House this summer.
Mbappé and Nasser?
However, the French presidency does not seem to hold this against him. According to the newspaper Le Parisien, Kylian Mbappé has been invited to a dinner at the Élysée on Tuesday with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. The Emir is being received by Emmanuel Macron this week for talks on the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of PSG, could also be present, as well as other players from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Parisian striker will share the table with two heads of state for the second time, as the newspaper recalls, referring to a dinner between Emmanuel Macron, George Weah, then elected president of Liberia in 2018, and Kylian Mbappé. A statesman. It remains to be seen whether the President of the Republic will try to convince him to stay in France!
