Kylian Mbappe has abandoned his hopes of representing France at the Olympics due to Real Madrid’s decision to prohibit their new signing from participating in a significant tournament held in his home country.
Kylian Mbappe has acknowledged that he no longer expects to compete for France at the Paris Olympics, citing a request from Real Madrid as the reason.
France will be without Mbappe at the Olympics this summer as he confirmed he won’t participate in the tournament in Paris. This news comes as a disappointment to Les Bleus and French President Emmanuel Macron, who expressed hope for Mbappe’s inclusion. Having recently moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid,
Mbappe revealed that his new club is unwilling to release him for the Olympics. Despite his desire to represent his nation at the event, Real Madrid prioritizes his rest after Euro 2024 to ensure he begins the 2024-25 season in optimal condition. Mbappe expressed understanding of Real Madrid’s stance, acknowledging it wouldn’t be ideal to begin his new adventure with the club by participating in the Olympics. While he won’t be on the field,
Mbappe intends to support the French team as a fan and will feature for them at Euro 2024, where they are considered strong contenders and will commence their campaign against Austria on Monday.
