Paris (EFE) stir for his possible departure from the Parisian club.
“I don’t have scoops, but I’m going to press for it,” Macron said during a visit to the VivaTech technology fair, after a journalist asked him if he knew anything about Mbappé’s stay in the French capital.
Already on another occasion Macron wanted to assure Mbappé
Despite being a well-known fan of PSG’s great rival, Olympique de Marseille, Macron already got involved in 2022 to try to ensure that the 24-year-old attacker stayed in France, when he was about to sign for Real Madrid.
At that time, Macron justified his decision to meddle in the case by assuring that a president’s duty is to “defend his country.”
Months later, the player himself explained that what Macron did was emphasize his importance to France.
The player confirmed last Monday his desire not to renew his contract and leave the Parisian club at the end of next season, without activating the extension option until 2025.
PSG, for its part, does not seem willing to allow its flagship player, one of the best in the world, to leave for free.
“The door will be open. We have started phase 2 of the new project, which is based on the collective and not on the individual.
If we have to rebuild, we will do it”, assured a source from the club this Wednesday in L’Equipe.
