Marca newspaper reported that Kylian Mbappe has submitted to Real Madrid’s first orders and will not participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics with the France national team.
The French star announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain in a video he posted on social media on Friday, making his move to Real Madrid only a matter of time.
The Spanish club maintains its strict position on preventing any of its players from participating in the Olympics, and has sent a letter to the French Federation confirming this regarding the trio Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ferland Mendy.
Despite the great pressure exerted by the French Federation, as well as President Emmanuel Macron regarding Mbappe in particular, Real Madrid’s position remains strict, and the player realized this and actually acquiesced to this decision.
Mbappe previously confirmed that he dreams of carrying the Olympic torch for France in the Olympics, but he understands the point of view of the Real Madrid management, and has made up his mind that he will not be with Thierry Henry’s squad in Paris 2024.
Mbappe’s waiver of his dream of participating in the Olympics comes as part of his understanding with Real Madrid recently, in light of the player’s dream of wearing the white shirt in the next period of his career.
It is noteworthy that Mbappe will participate with the first French national team in Euro 2024 in Germany, which means that his participation in the Olympics a few days later will deprive him of being present throughout the preparation period with Real Madrid.
