According to the indiscretions of L’Équipe, the trend is not for the 25-year-old striker to be present at the 2024 Olympics.
Kylian Mbappé has never hidden it: he wants to participate in the Olympic Games next summer in Paris. Except that the Olympics are not part of the Fifa-stamped dates. Clearly, it is up to the clubs to decide whether or not they release their players. Hence this mischievous outing from Mbappé last November, during a press conference with the France team: “It’s not me who decides, it’s my employer, he will have the last word. If my employer doesn’t want me to do them, I won’t do them“. It remains to be seen who his employer will be at that time. The suspense is quite light…
A priori, it will not be PSG. Mbappé has already announced to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and his teammates his intention to leave Paris at the end of the season and his contract. “We all know where he’s going to go», smiled again recently the defender of the Blues and Liverpool Ibrahima Konaté. Indeed: “KM” should, barring an earthquake, join Real Madrid. All this knowing that the Olympic tournament will begin on July 24, i.e. 10 days after the Euro final. Under these conditions, the trend is not for the 25-year-old striker to participate in the next Olympics according to information from The Team . «Hope would be pretty slim“, we can read in the columns of the sports daily, specifying that “the captain of the Blues knows very well that given his investment and his image, and the importance of the first steps of his galactic recruit, Real will not want to release him».

What about Giroud and Griezmann?
Note that Luis Enrique’s management could allow Kylian Mbappé to benefit from a little more rest than expected between now and the end of the season. This will undoubtedly not be enough in the eyes of the leaders of Real Madrid, who will not want to wait before being able to count on their new star at the start of next season. It remains to be seen what Atlético Madrid will decide for Antoine Griezmann, or AC Milan regarding Olivier Giroud, Thierry Henry’s other two targets according to The Parisian . Remember that each team can select three players over 23 years old for the Olympics.
