With Mbappé’s PSG contract set to expire at the end of the season, Macron, famously a Marseille supporter, explained that he was unsuccessful, however: 

“There is no question, unfortunately, that Kylian Mbappé will go to Olympique de Marseille. If he was ready to go there, I would have fought for it, but he told me ‘no’ very quickly… It’s better to fight for him to stay in the French league because he’s still a huge player.”
