French president Macron hopes Mbappe continues to ‘enchant’
Mbappe
has
enjoyed
a
sensational
rise
and,
at
just
23,
is
already
considered
one
of
the
world’s
best
players.
Having
burst
onto
the
scene
at
Monaco
in
2016-17,
Mbappe
has
gone
on
to
win
four
Ligue
1
titles,
three
Coupe
de
France
crowns,
the
Coupe
de
la
Ligue
twice
and
the
2018
World
Cup.
Since
joining
Paris
Saint-Germain
in
2017,
Mbappe
has
scored
150
goals
in
196
appearances,
ranking
him
third
out
of
players
across
Europe’s
top
five
leagues
within
that
timeframe,
behind
Robert
Lewandowski
(208
goals)
and
new
PSG
team-mate
Lionel
Messi
(162).
This
week,
Mbappe
was
placed
at
number
one
on
French
sports
newspaper
L’Equipe’s
list
of
“30
who
make
French
football”.
Road
to
…Happy
New
Year
everyone
I
wish
you
health,
happiness
and
success.

President
Macron,
who
last
year
expressed
his
desire
to
see
Mbappe
remain
at
PSG
amid
interest
from
Real
Madrid,
provided
a
glowing
appraisal
of
the
Parisian
forward.
“Kylian
Mbappe
may
be
so
young,
but
he
espoused
the
excellence
of
his
sport
for
[his]
club
and
national
team,
he
lived
the
most
extreme
experiences
and
he
demonstrated
the
qualities
of
the
greatest:
lucidity,
courage,
resistance.
I
am
sure
of
one
thing:
he
will
continue
to
amaze
us,”
Macron
wrote.
“Everyone
obviously
wishes
him
to
make
this
promise
come
true
by
building
the
best
track
record
in
European
football
and
above
all
to
continue
to
enchant
the
public
with
his
jubilant
gestures,
his
brilliant
passes
and
his
magical
goals.
We
know
that
he
can.
“But
if
Kylian
Mbappe
has
taken
a
special
place
in
the
hearts
of
the
French,
it
is
also
through
his
attitude
on
and
off
the
field.”
Mbappe
may
not
be
in
Ligue
1
for
much
longer.
He
does
not
seem
to
intend
to
sign
a
new
deal
with
PSG
and,
from
this
month,
he
is
eligible
to
sign
pre-contract
agreements
with
teams
from
other
countries.
Madrid,
who
had
multiple
bids
rejected
by
PSG
in
August
2021,
are
the
frontrunners
for
his
signature.
