Will or will not participate in the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 with Thierry Henry’s French team? The uncertainty remains regarding Kylian Mbappé. The captain of Didier Deschamps’ Blues, who play PSG’s semi-final second leg against Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, has never hidden his desire to occupy one of the three places authorized for players over the age of 23 along with hope. In an interview with La Tribune Dimanche, Emmanuel Macron made a small confession.
“He Will Do Them”
“I was in a field with his father last week [lors d’un match du Variétés Club de France, mardi] and I asked him the question. He told me: ” He will do them. “I really hope that all European clubs will leave this freedom to their players”, replies the President of the Republic “I am glad that all French clubs are doing it and I hope that the others will follow suit. That’s the Olympic spirit: to grow.”
The Olympic football tournament does not correspond to a Fifa date, clubs are not obliged to release their players to allow them to participate. Kylian Mbappé, who is leaving PSG at the end of the season, has yet to announce the name of his future team, although it seems obvious to everyone that the French striker should join Real Madrid. A club that has already expressed its reluctance to release its players for the Olympic Games.
