French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron playfully teased Kylian Mbappe during a royal reception hosted by the Emir of Qatar, jokingly saying, “You’re going to create problems for us,” in reference to Mbappe’s speculated transfer to Real Madrid.
Mbappe, a key target for Real Madrid, attended the dinner alongside top French-Qatari business figures. The event was part of the Emir’s visit to France, where he announced a significant investment of €10 billion in French infrastructure.
Macron praised Mbappe’s outstanding performance in the 2022 World Cup during the reception, and he fondly recalled memorable moments from the tournament, declaring it the best yet.
The playful exchange between Macron and Mbappe adds a light-hearted touch to their relationship, which dates back to 2022 when reports suggested Macron had discussions with the player about his future. Back then, Mbappe reportedly renewed his contract with PSG, rejecting an offer from Real Madrid. Despite the current transfer rumors, Macron appears to take a more relaxed stance, allowing Mbappe to make his decision without overt influence.
