Kylian Mbappé confirmed on Friday that he will not continue with PSG next season and everything points to his destiny being in Spain with Real Madrid. However, for the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, the main concern is that the forward is at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“I have no particular comment to make other than the fact that I am counting on Real Madrid to release Kylian for the Olympic Games so that he can play for the French national team,” Macron said, responding to questions from his followers on social media.
This is not the first time the French president has made a similar statement, as last month he said that “European clubs need to play so that we can put on a great show.” Meanwhile, Mbappé has expressed his desire to go to the Olympics.
At the press conference before the France-Germany game in March, the player expressed his desire, but admitted that it was not up to him. The Olympic tournament is not part of the international FIFA calendar, although it is governed by its rules, so clubs are not obliged to release players.
Especially in cases like that of Mbappé, 25, who will be a major reinforcement for the U-23 category. On the other hand, if his new club agrees to loan him out, it will be a complicated summer for the striker, since the European Championship will take place from June 14 to July 14 and the Olympic tournament from July 24 to August 10..
