French President Emmanuel Macron has asked Real Madrid to leave Kylian Mbappé play in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Mbappe is ready to leave Paris Saint Germain in the coming weeks after opting against a contract extension in the French capital.
The most frustrated UEFA Champions League star has marked his final act in Paris as he prepares to complete a free transfer move to Los Blancos.
A formal update on the switch is expected between Real Madrid's Champions League final on June 1 and the start of Euro 2024 on June 10.
However, despite not kicking a ball for Real Madrid, Mbappe is already locked in a club and country dispute, with the Olympics football schedule starting on July 24.
Mbappe has indicated his desire to play at the Olympics but will respect whatever position Real Madrid take, with Macron making moves to him.
“I put maximum pressure on who they say will be Mbappe's new club on the Olympics,” he said.
Olympic rules state that only three players over the age of 23 can be included in a tournament squad as France host the USA, Guinea and New Zealand in Group A this summer.
