“ Real Madrid 's position is very clear, so I will not participate in the Paris Olympics ,” Mbappe said.
The French captain added: “ That’s how it is and I understand that. If I go to the Olympics with France, I will join a new team in September and that is not the best way to start a new journey .”
The Olympic men's football competition begins on July 24, 10 days after the EURO 2024 final, and ends on August 9, just over a week before the 2024/25 La Liga season kicks off.
Mbappe once expressed his desire to play with France in the Olympics held at home, but Real Madrid "blocked the way" early on when the two sides were still negotiating.
Not only that, the La Liga giant also sent a notice to all Federations that have players playing for Real Madrid: they will not release anyone for the Paris Olympics.
It is understandable that Real Madrid did so, as Mbappe is a 'blockbuster' deal that President Florentino Perez has been preparing for the past few seasons, both professionally and commercially.
The construction 'boss' would never agree to spend a huge amount of money so that Mbappe could enter the new season without adequate preparation, not to mention the risk of injury.
Mbappe shared that wearing the Real Madrid shirt from next season, after his contract with PSG ends, is " a dream come true" .
At 2pm tonight, June 18, Kylian Mbappe will join the French team to begin their journey to conquer EURO 2024, where they will start against Austria, before facing the Netherlands and Poland in Group B.
The 25-year-old striker is very eager to join France on the path to European glory as captain, as he confessed after winning the 2018 World Cup and Nations League.
