Kylian Mbappé gladly accepted the President of the Republic’s invitation to dine at the Elysée Palace this Tuesday. Emmanuel Macron warmly greeted the Paris Saint-Germain striker, who engaged in a discussion with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim ben Hamad Al Thani.
The President of the Republic extended the invitation to the footballer amidst the negotiations concerning the Israel-Gaza conflict in Paris this week. However, the moment many in the football world talk is Macron’s remarks, who cracked a joke aimed at the 25-year-old.
“You are going to create more trouble for us,” the president said to Mbappé without us knowing the exact context of this sentence.

Mbappé is reportedly on his way to Real Madrid this summer once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. The inclusion of Mbappé is expected to play a crucial role in its success, and there is potential for Alphonso Davies to join the team as well.
