His words transcribed in L’Équipe, Mbappé has nevertheless insisted that the two heads of state did not influence his final decision, which he says to have made solely on a personal level.
“He likes football and he often comes to the Parc des Princes. We spoke a lot and they [Sarkozy and Macron] strongly advised me to stay in my country and continue to write my club’s history. But my final decision was personal.”
