Teammates in the French team, Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé could find themselves with the Espoirs during the Olympic Games.
The year 2024 promises to be particularly busy for Kylian Mbappé. On and off the field. Obviously a consequence of the uncertainty which reigns over his future and the busy schedule which could await him this summer. Because in addition to Euro 2024, which will constitute his main objective with the Blues, the PSG striker dreams of continuing with the Olympic Games which will take place immediately in Paris.
The Bondynois has never hidden his desire to be among the three players over 23 who will be able to strengthen the Espoirs. However, he is not the only one since several other players from the France team have applied, like Antoine Griezmann. A situation which Philippe Diallo, the president of the French Football Federation, welcomed. “These players may have notoriety, but they want to make history. They have an opportunity to enter the history of French sport. Kylian Mbappé is obviously one of those who wishes to participate in this Olympic adventure, like Antoine Griezmann. he confided to the microphone of RTL.
Interested players will first have to convince their clubs to release them for the event, which will not necessarily be easy. Kylian Mbappé could nevertheless make it a prerequisite in his discussions with his courtiers. The decision will ultimately belong to Thierry Henry, the Espoirs coach, and Didier Deschamps, the A coach. “First there will be Didier Deschamps, who is associated with this exchange. There will be Thierry Henry. It is often in a collegial manner that we try to do things. There will first be selection A because there is the Euro. That’s the priority, let’s make no mistakeexplained the boss of the FFF. Thierry will then make his choices. I am here to provide the framework for those who have responsibility for the athlete, to put them in the best conditions so that they can select the best players.
