French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday he would “try to push” for Kylian Mbappe to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking on the sidelines of the VivaTech exhibition in Paris, Macron said he had “no scoop” on the future of Mbappe.
“But I will try to push for” the France captain to stay, Macron continued in a light-hearted exchange.
Mbappe’s future at PSG is in serious doubt after the striker told AFP he had never discussed extending his contract with the club beyond next year.
Mbappe and his entourage spoke out the day after he sent a letter to the club confirming he would not take up an option to remain at the French champions until 2025.
