Emir of Qatar sent Mbappe his ‘best wishes’ ahead of Real Madrid move | OneFootball

What Kylian Mbappe has achieved at the young age of 25 is unbelievable. Not only has the youngster conquered the World Cup, and Ligue 1 and established himself as one of the elite players in the sport but has also become a national hero in France.

News of Mbappe’s departure from Paris-Saint Germain, thus, has created a ruckus in his nation. Such is the stature of the player that he was invited to the Elysèe for a dinner alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, the Emir of Qatar and other high-profile dignitaries.

Last Supper?

The dinner meeting between the high-profile individuals was speculated to be an attempt to keep Mbappe in France, for his departure will have a significant impact on the country’s premier football league – Ligue 1.

According to reports from RMC Sport, however, the meeting does not appear to have gone that way. The French outlet reveals that the Emir of Qatar, the owner of PSG, is already aware of the player’s decision. In fact, he wished Mbappe good luck during the dinner meeting last night as captured by cameras.

Surprisingly, French president Marcon has an interesting selection of words for the to-be Real Madrid sensation too, as he said, “You will still create trouble for us.”

Nothing is closed

For Mbappe to attend such a high-profile event and not be quizzed directly about his future was close to impossible. Needless to say, he could not evade the persuasive journalists who pestered him for a statement regarding his future.

The youngster simply admitted that nothing was completed, implying that he had not reached a complete agreement with any club including Real Madrid.

While this is contradictory to statements in the Spanish media, it could well be a way of keeping the deal low-key until the pre-decided time for announcement arrives.
