Kylian Mbappé has opened up on how his decision to extend his stay with Paris Saint-Germain was largely influenced by the French president Emmanuel Macron.

Mbappé was at the centre of a protracted transfer saga with the 23-year-old opting to extend his stay with the Parisians at the expense of a dream move to Real Madrid.

The Frenchman was expected to sign for Los Blancos in the summer, but his current club convinced him via the French president Emmanuel Macron coupled with a mouthwatering deal that he simply could not refuse.

The 2018 World Cup winner, who has started the 2022-23 campaign on a blistering note, had earlier acknowledged that the French president played a major role in his decision-making process.

But has now taken time to throw light on what transpired between himself and Emmanuel Macron.

"I never imagined I was going to talk with the president about my future, about my future in my career, so it's something crazy, really something crazy," he said of the call he received from the politician as quoted by MARCA.

"He told me 'I want you to stay, I don't want you to leave now as you are so important to the country'.

"He said 'You have time to leave, you can stay a little bit more'.

"Of course, when the president says that to you, that counts."

Mbappé refuses to rule out future transfer to Real Madrid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé has refused to rule out the possibility of joining Real Madrid despite snubbing the Spanish giants to extend his stay with the Parisians earlier in the summer.

Mbappé was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer but opted to sign a lucrative three-year contract extension with PSG.

The Frenchman's decision to stay with the French champions ruffled a lot of feathers in Madrid with the reigning European champions feeling misled by the player over his intentions of joining the club and that they wasted a significant amount of time in pursuing his signature.
