The French prime minister, Emmanuel Macron, plans to consider participating in the future of Kylian Mbappe for a second time, after having a role in the French striker signing a new agreement with Paris Saint-Germain in 2022. This again he has no intention of stopping. He will join Real Madrid though.
Mbappe looks set to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, but there is debate over his presence at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Mbappe expressed the desire to be there, Real Madrid sent a letter to the French Football Federation, and coach Thierry Henry said that he will not give Mbappe there.
According to Matteo Moretto, Mbappe will not force the problem with Real Madridbut Macron can try AS Diary say that he is trying to convince various political elements to apply pressure, in order to pressure Real Madrid to release him from the games. There is an awareness that they have little power in the end, since the Whites have the last word. France also want to have a successful Olympics, and with Atletico Madrid reluctant to release Antoine Griezmann, there are fears that Henry may not have some of the best players available to bring home the gold medal.
Both sides of the equation are understandable. Mbappe has the chance to win a gold medal in his hometown, as he approaches his footballing peak, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Equally, after the Euros, Real Madrid will not want a tired Mbappe without holidays arriving at the club for his first season. In addition, they want Mbappe present for their pre-season tour of the United States, which will undoubtedly attract a lot of publicity and revenue.
