French President Macron convinced Kylian Mbappe to dump Real Madrid for contract extension with PSG

Kylian Mbappe put pen to paper on a three years contract extension on Saturday in front of the Parc des Princes fans.

The French international announced the new deal before their final game of the season against Metz.

Mbappe, 23, scored a hat-trick in PSG 5-0 thumping of Metz on Saturday evening.

The forward new deal is expected to run until 2025 which has ended speculation to join Real Madrid in the summer.

According to Goal, French president Emmanuel Macron called Kylian Mbappe several times to convince him to stay at PSG.

French president Emmanuel Macron argued Mbappe should stay because he is seen as an icon in Paris and could be front and centre when the Olympic Games are staged there in 2024.
