Kylian Mbappé’s participation in the Paris Olympic Games is moving away. During a press conference on Sunday January 16, on the eve of the Blues’ entry into contention against Austria at the Euro, the captain of the Blues announced that he was thinking “[qu’il] would not participate in the Olympics. In question, his arrival in a new club, that of Real Madrid, whose position is “very clear” on the subject, depending on the player.
The Blues star did not fail to have a word for those who will be present at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “I will be a supporter, not an actor, I will watch all the matches. I’m going to wish the best to this French team and I hope they will bring us back the gold medal.” he assured.
As a reminder, Thierry Henry, the coach of the France Espoirs team, which is participating in the Olympic tournament, can call up three players over the age of 23. Buthe Olympics do not appear in the calendar drawn up by the International Football Federation (Fifa), unlike the Euro or the World Cup, and clubs are therefore not required to release their players under contract for the Olympic fortnight.
