PSG: "Kylian, stay in France!" implores Roxana Maracineanu, the Minister of Sports

While the future of Kylian Mbappé is at the center of many discussions, the Minister of Sports has clearly positioned herself. For her,


Even the politicians are getting started!

At the heart of all conversations since Tuesday evening and the hat-trick slammed on the lawn of Camp Nou, Kylian Mbappé does not stop talking about him.

Of his talent, of course, which on Tuesday in Catalonia has, for at least 90 minutes, eclipsed that of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and all the players of FC Barcelona.

But of his future, above all, a year and a half from the end of his contract at PSG.

A great architect of the final success gleaned Tuesday by Paris in the first leg of the Champions League (1-4), Mbappé involuntarily revived speculation about his future.

While the capital club hopes to be able to keep the one who has become its third top scorer (111 goals behind Ibrahimovic 156, and Cavani 200), the sports minister has also been invited to the debate.

Asked by France Info, Roxana Maracineanu first spoke of the player's remarkable performance in Barcelona.

“It feels good to see him play like that, first explained the Minister of Sports before moving on to his future.

Of course I tell him:

Kylian, stay in France.

We want to keep seeing you play like this, we need you.

The public needs you, PSG needs you.

Young athletes, young footballers need examples and models.

"

"It would be stupid to play your future on a match"

For now, the Parisian striker, in full reflection, maintains the suspense.

"The question comes up often," explained the number 7 in Paris on Tuesday evening at the microphone of RMC Sport.

It would be stupid to play your future on a match, good or bad.

If we had lost, to say

I will not extend because we lost

, that would have been ridiculous.

You have to let it talk, I don't listen to what people say.

It's a long term thinking, not a game or two.

I've always said I'm happy here, and with this kind of game I'm even happier.

"

Will these new marks of affection weigh in the choice of Kylian Mbappé?

"Today anyway we cannot leave France so we have to stay in France for football," concludes Roxana Maracineanu in a last remark full of humor.
