Present at the Elysée for the 120th anniversary of FIFA this Tuesday, Florentino Pérez had the opportunity to exchange with Emmanuel Macron.
Kylian Mbappé’s situation would have been a topic of discussion between the two men regarding the Paris Olympics, but according to the Spanish press, the name of the French international was not mentioned.
With a few weeks left until the start of the Paris Olympics, the identity of the players selected by Thierry Henry for the men’s football tournament is still unknown. One of the uncertainties concerns Kylian Mbappé, who dreams of participating in the event but whose move to Real Madrid could jeopardize everything, as the Spanish club has informed the French Football Federation that they will not release their players for the Olympics. It is in this context that Florentino Pérez went to the Elysée this Tuesday for a very special lunch.
Florentino Pérez at the Elysée
For the 120th anniversary of FIFA, a lunch was organized at 55 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, providing an opportunity for Emmanuel Macron to discuss with Florentino Pérez, particularly regarding Kylian Mbappé and his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics according to the French press. In Spain, a different version is circulating.
No discussion for Mbappé?
Host of the Chiringuito, Josep Pedrerol gave a radically different speech by stating that Emmanuel Macron did not mention Kylian Mbappé to the president of Real Madrid. However, L’Equipe asserts in its columns today that Philippe Diallo, the boss of the French Football Federation, and Thierry Henry, in charge of the Olympic team, participated in a discussion with Macron and Pérez.
