The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, claimed to have “put full pressure on what is believed to be the new club” of Kylian Mbappé to let him play in the Paris Olympic Games this summer.
The President of the Republic did not reveal which club he had spoken with, but everything suggests that it is Real Madrid, since the club led by Florentino Pérez assured that it will not give up its internationals for the Olympic Games football tournament, which It will be held at the end of July and beginning of August, so as not to interfere with the preparation for the new season.
“I have put maximum pressure on what they say will be Mbappé’s new club,” said Macron, in response to questions from French comedian Paul de Saint Sernin, published this Thursday on his Instagram.
“We have to go game by game, first it’s the Euro Cup and then July 14 (the end of that tournament that coincides with the French national holiday). They have to win,” added the president.
In his statements from Marseille, where the Olympic flame arrived on Wednesday that will travel throughout France until it reaches Paris on July 26, the French president did not specify the club with which he had spoken.
Mbappé announced last February that he would not renew his contract with PSG, which expires next June, and the press assumes his arrival at Real Madrid.
The French star has expressed his desire to play the Games in his native Paris, although he clarified that he will respect the decision of his next team.
