Kylian Mbappé’s announcement of his decision not to extend his contract at PSG was experienced as an earthquake. So much so that even Emmanuel Macron is preparing to put his grain of salt.
World champion in 2018 then vice-champion in 2022 with the France team, Kylian Mbappé is one of the most famous and appreciated personalities in France. The PSG striker is also one of the most popular football players in the world. Inevitably, his probable departure from Paris is causing a lot of noise. Several personalities have commented on the 24-year-old’s desire not to extend to PSG. Including Emmanuel Macron. Already in 2022, the President of the French Republic had personally discussed with the attacker to convince him to stay in France. Emmanuel Macron believes that for the influence of the country, it is important that Kylian Mbappé continues to wear the PSG jersey.
Mbappé more important than pensions for Macron
⚽️ @EmmanuelMacron wants to convince @KMbappe to stay at PSG.
📢 @PorcherThomas : “He never has time to receive the unions, but he finds some for Mbappé … Let him concentrate on his function for which he was elected!”#GGRMC pic.twitter.com/XLJWURsGzN

Once again, Emmanuel Macron announced that he was going to push the French international (68 caps) to stay at PSG. While France is going through a very particular and austere context since this famous pension reform, Emmanuel Macron’s position on the future of Kylian Mbappé has aroused the annoyance of several people including Thomas Porcher. “As soon as there is Justin Bieber, Pharrell or someone like that, he finds some time for him to meet him at the Élysée but he never finds time for the unions, for example. He does not have to take care of everything and there, he wants to restore his image. There are times when you have to focus on why you were elected. declared the French economist on the set of Grandes Gueules on RMC who does not appreciate that Macron is publicly positioning himself on the future of Mbappé. More concerned about Mbappé’s fate at PSG than about pension reform, the president was shaken by his ability to shed light on problems that may necessarily seem secondary to the French.
