Paris Saint-Germain striker and France national team, Kylian Mbappe, confirmed that French President Emmanuel Macron called him and asked him to stay at Paris Club, while he considered himself the best in the world.

Mbappe gave an interview to the Sports Illustrated network, answering a question, about the best player in the world? Saying, "I am."
The 23-year-old French striker talked about the scenes of renewing his contract with Paris, and his transfer to Real Madrid was disrupted at the last minute, saying: "The page of achievements in Paris is completely white... It is a valuable opportunity that makes you think differently.".

The French player added, "Of course it was easier to go to Real Madrid, but I had a different ambition. I am French, the son of Paris, and success in Paris will be special and exceptional.

My name will be written in the history of my country for life. You can stay here to be successful."
Mbappe continued, "For us, it's a big message... because when I announced that I would stay, a lot of things changed in the mentality of people in France, and they started saying, 'Yes, we don't need to leave the country'.".

Mbappe revealed: "The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, called me and said (I knew you wanted to leave, I want to tell you that you are also important in France, I don't want you to leave, you have a chance to write history here.. Everyone loves you) and I answered him that I enjoyed his words." It was a crazy moment, the president calls you and wants you to stay.".

In another context, Mbappe said: "Winning the 2018 World Cup changed my life. Everything changed after winning the World Cup. I was famous before the World Cup, and my popularity increased after it. It took me a while to learn to stay calm.".

The French striker confirmed that he considered retiring after "Euro 2020", explaining: "I said: I cannot play for people who think I am a monkey... But then I thought with those around me and my colleagues, and I was convinced that I should not give up, because I am an example to many, and my continuity with the national team." It will send a message that we are stronger than these racist behaviors."
