Kylian Mbappe could be one of those affected by this position, provided he inevitably completes his move to Los Blancos. The 24-year-old is said to be thrilled to play in the tournament, but Real Madrid would prefer to have him available for a significant part of their pre-season schedule instead.
Despite this, the French Football Federation plans to do everything to ensure Mbappé plays in Paris this summer, as Philippe Diallo – their president – told Le Figaro (via MD).
“Kylian expressed his desire to participate. I regret the position of Real Madrid to close the door to a dream of many players. Our job is to try to have the best team possible. If we have to go to see Florentino Perez in Madrid, we will do it.
“I don't need external pressure to imagine that Kylian's participation in the Olympics would be an extraordinary advantage for our team. Obviously, having the best player in the world for the Games at home would be a great advantage.”
Real Madrid the stance is completely understandable, especially considering that Mbappe will also be playing for France at Euro 2024. The last thing they need is for him to pick up an injury before he's even made his debut – provided that he beckons, of course.
