French President Emmanuel Macron has revealed plans to try and convince Kylian Mbappe to stay at PSG after the forward refused to sign a new deal at the club.
Mbappe dropped the bombshell news this week
that he has no intention of signing fresh terms beyond 2024 with the French
champions.
A similar situation happened last summer that
saw Mbappe heavily linked with a big-money move to Real Madrid before Macron
stepped in to influence the striker's decision to extend his stay at the Parc
des Princes.
And when asked by a young PSG fan on the
sidelines of the VivaTech exhibition in Paris about Mbappe's future, Macron
said he had 'no scoop' but insisted that he 'will try to push for' the France
captain to stay.
On Tuesday, the 24-year-old forward put
Europe's elite on red alert when he informed PSG via a letter to say he did not
want to exercise the extension clause which would see him contracted until June
2025.
Mbappe had until July 31 to make his decision
but is understood to be unhappy with the direction the club is taking.
It means Mbappe has just one more year left
to run on his deal at Parc des Princes, and the French champions will not risk
letting their superstar leave for free next summer as it would be better to
sell him this summer.
