France President Warns Mbappe: You’re Going to Create Problems

Paris, February 29, 2024 – In a dinner held at the Elysee Palace on Tuesday night, French President Emmanuel Macron engaged in a brief conversation with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe, sparking fresh speculation regarding the football star’s future amidst ongoing transfer rumors linking him to Real Madrid.

The dinner, organized by President Macron in honor of Sheikh Tamim of Qatar, saw the presence of Mbappe alongside PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi. 

While the primary focus of the evening was diplomatic, Macron took the opportunity to address Mbappe’s potential departure from PSG, a topic that has dominated headlines in recent weeks.

Mbappe, who shares a cordial relationship with the French president, exchanged greetings with Macron upon his arrival at the gala dinner. 

However, their conversation took a more serious turn as Macron expressed his concerns over the transfer rumors surrounding the PSG star.

“You are going to create more problems for us,” Macron reportedly told Mbappe, alluding to the speculation surrounding his future transfer to Real Madrid.

This isn’t the first time Macron has intervened in matters concerning Mbappe’s career. Previously, he played a pivotal role in convincing the 25-year-old to sign his last contract with PSG, thwarting his potential move to Real Madrid.

With Mbappe’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, rumors of his departure have intensified. Despite PSG manager Luis Enrique beginning to plan for the club’s future without Mbappe, the French superstar’s admiration for Real Madrid has fueled speculations of an imminent transfer.

Mbappe’s stellar performance this season, netting 32 goals in as many matches, has only heightened the interest of top clubs. Real Madrid, in particular, remains the frontrunner to secure his signature, with La Liga president Javier Tebas suggesting a deal is on the verge of completion.

“Knowing that he is leaving PSG, there is a 99 percent chance that Mbappe will sign for Real. But I don’t know if he has already signed,” Tebas stated, further fueling the anticipation surrounding Mbappe’s potential move.

While PSG may face the prospect of losing their talismanic forward, manager Luis Enrique remains pragmatic about the situation. 

Following PSG’s recent draw against Rennes, in which Mbappe was substituted in the 65th minute, Enrique emphasized the need for the club to adapt to playing without him.

“It’s very simple, sooner or later, when it happens, we have to get used to playing without Kylian,” Enrique asserted during the post-match press conference.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Mbappe’s future, his departure from PSG would undoubtedly mark the end of an era for the Parisian club. 

With his exceptional talent and prolific goal-scoring record, Mbappe has been instrumental in PSG’s success in recent years.

As the speculation continues to swirl, all eyes remain on Mbappe and his impending decision. Will he fulfill his childhood dream of donning the white jersey of Real Madrid, or will he opt to prolong his stay at PSG? Only time will tell as the footballing world eagerly awaits Mbappe’s next move.
