Very involved in the extension of Kylian Mbappé at PSG last summer, Emmanuel Macron swears that he tried to bring the captain of the French team… to OM, in vain.
Emmanuel Macron and Olympique de Marseille is a love story assumed by the President of the Republic for many years. This week again in the columns of La Provence, the Head of State proclaimed his love for the Marseille club.
“This season has been rich for OM, we have seen some very good performances from the team. I remain a loyal supporter of the club. I would be careful not to make a prognosis. We will first observe how the transfer window will unfold. I am, as it were, “greedy” to see the final result. But I remain personally confident. This club has incredible strength.” explained in particular Emmanuel Macron, currently traveling to Marseille.

This Tuesday, the President of the Republic was still in Marseille and during a trip to the 16th arrondissement of Marseille, a child asked Emmanuel Macron to do everything in his power to bring… Kylian Mbappe. What the Head of State replied, smile on his lips he had “already tried” but that we “won’t make it”.
Mbappé at OM, Macron’s response
A response that provoked laughter from those present on the spot insofar as it is clear that a transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Olympique de Marseille seems to be the most unlikely signing of the transfer window, both for sporting and financial reasons. . On the other hand, it would not be surprising to learn in the coming days that Emmanuel Macron is at work trying to convince Kylian Mbappé to stay at PSG rather than sign at Real Madrid, while the native of Paris has already and already announced that he will not extend beyond June 2024 with the club from the French capital. This is why a departure from this summer transfer window, probably to Real, is very strongly considered.
