However, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar, is the main reason behind Mbappe‘s invitation. Since Qatar serves as a mediator between Palestine and Israel, Sheikh Tamim was reportedly summoned to the French capital to assist in mediating negotiations over the truce and release of captives in the Israel-Hamas war.
Why was Kylian Mbappe invited for dinner by French President Emmanuel Macron?
Without a doubt, Kylian Mbappe has already ascended to the highest levels of world soccer at this time. The dynamic Frenchman was asked to dine with PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi and France President Emmanuel Macron, demonstrating the extent of his influence.
The news of Mbappe’s possible shocking transfer to Real Madrid, which had been all but confirmed when the forward said he would be leaving the French champions in the summer once his contract expired, prompted the update. However, according to reports from Le Parisien, Mbappe, club president Al-Khelaifi, and a few other PSG players were called to Paris’ Elysee Palace by President Macron.

However one of the main reasons for the meeting was the presence of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. According to reports, Sheikh Tamim was called to the French capital to assist in mediating talks for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release, as Qatar serves as a neutral intermediary between Palestine and Israel.
Kylian Mbappe pens a cryptic message to his fans
The PSG team is getting ready to play Monaco, who are now in third position, on March 1. They will be looking to get over their disappointing last-round draw against Rennes. It’s commonly believed that relaxing off the field is equally as vital as dedicated practice time, and Mbappe seemed to be enjoying the majority of his downtime by playing pool and sipping tea.

Those images were shared by the Frenchman on Instagram with the following caption: “Life is good”. This can be somewhat of a message that Mbappe wants to send to the soccer community regarding his uncertain future and what he plans to do next.
Although Mbappe’s remark seems to be focused on the now, the French forward’s destiny appears to be finally sealed. It’s said that Mbappe turned down a massive financial offer made by the Parisians to join Real Madrid as their future “Galactico.”
