Macron presses for Mbappé

Emmanuel Macron is currently experiencing a decisive week in his term as President of the French Republic. The still president of the Executive went to the first round of the presidential elections with a comfortable advantage over Marine Le Pen, his rival in the second round whose elections will take place on April 24. Furthermore, and according to information from RTL France, the still president of the Republic is immersed in trying to convince Mbappé to renew with PSG.

Although Macron is a recognized fan of Olympique de Marseille, his wish is that Mbappé, idol of the youngest in French society, continue in Paris and can continue to amaze French football. The relationship between the two is fluid, to the point that Macron was amazed in 2018 by Mbappé’s maturity at a lunch organized by the Executive to talk about the development of sport in Africa.

In four years, the bond that has been forged between both parties is very important. Macron and Mbappé exchange messages to talk about football, they call each other very often and even ask for favors. When Mbappé appeared in a French television campaign in favor of vaccination in June 2021, it was through a request by Macron to raise awareness in French society. According to RTL, the general director of the French Executive has been able to find time in the midst of his endless electoral campaign to increase the pressure on the playerto whom he asks him not to leave France for being a national symbol for young people.

Two years after the celebration of the Olympic Games in Paris, Macron is aware that renewing Mbappé until that date would mean a victory for the Executive and also for PSG, which has not yet been able to convince him to renew. Nine days before the second round of the presidential elections, it is rumored in France that Bondy’s talent could send a message on social networks to support the campaign of the still head of the French Executive.
