Kylian Mbappe, the forward for Paris Saint-Germain, met Qatar’s Emir and French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday night at Elysee Palace. On Tuesday, the French president welcomed Mbappe and PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi to attend a dinner he was hosting in celebration of Sheikh Tamim. Macron spoke briefly with Mbappe when they met, despite the fact that the subject of the dinner was not his current drama over leaving PSG for the upcoming season.

Mbappe, who is well-known for his cordial relationship with the president of France, shook hands with Macron upon entering the gala dinner. The latter expressed his worry for the PSG player’s most recent transfer speculations.

As one among the few who persuaded Mbappe to agree to his final PSG deal when he was on the verge of joining his ideal club, Real Madrid, Macron has intervened in the club’s affairs in the past. The key player for PSG, who is 25 years old, has scored 32 goals in as many games this season.

The French sensation is once again strongly connected to a transfer to Santiago Bernabeu, since his contract expires at the end of the current campaign. He has reportedly told PSG that he plans to leave the team at the conclusion of the season, with Real Madrid still the front-runner to recruit him, according to a number of media sources.

“Have to get used to playing without Kylian Mbappe” : Luis Enrique

Real Madrid are extremely close to acquiring the 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner, according to La Liga president Javier Tebas. However, after Mbappe was substituted off during the 65th minute of PSG’s match against Rennes, coach Luis Enrique has begun organising the team without the player. Goncalo Ramos, who replaced him, struck a penalty in injury time to help the team draw the Ligue 1 match.

Luis Enrique said, “It’s very simple, sooner or later, when it happens, we have to get used to playing without Kylian. When I want him to play, I’ll play him, and when I don’t, same thing.”
