In the video, Macron answers a series of questions on a European topic, on the occasion of Europe Day last Thursday, but among political, foreign affairs or defense issues, a lighter one sneaks in: “What do you think of Mbappé’s departure to Real Madrid?”
“I don’t have a specific comment, except that I’m counting on Real Madrid to release Kylian for the Olympic Games and that I can come and play with the French team,” he answers.
The Olympic Games begin on July 26, but Real Madrid has already warned that the footballers who compete in the European Championship in Germany (June 14-July 14) They will not have permission for the Paris event due to the risk of injury.
In fact, the white team’s preseason and its summer tour of the United States, with a match already on July 31, make it incompatible to compete in the Olympic event.
Mbappé announced on Friday his departure from PSG and the French league, in a video message on social networks in which he did not reveal which club his destination would be.
On Thursday, Macron had already spoken regarding this matter, although without mentioning the Spanish club, when he assured that there had “putting maximum pressure on what is believed to be the new club” of Mbappé to allow him to play in the Paris Olympic Games this summer.
“I have put maximum pressure on what they say will be Mbappé’s new club,” said Macron, in response to questions from French comedian Paul de Saint Sernin, published on his Instagram.
