The Real Madrid coach raised a sensitive subject in front of the press this Tuesday.
Kylian Mbappé quickly felt the tide turn. A few months ago, the 2018 world champion cast doubt on the prospect of participating in the Olympic Games in Paris.
“ I have reached a point in my life and my career where I no longer want to force things, the star said for GQ. If they let me do them, I would go with great pleasure but if it is not possible, I would understand. For any athlete, the Olympics have a special place and I already wanted to go to Tokyo because I want to win everything and write my name in the history of the French team as that of a player who counted. » The captain of the France team was certainly aware of the intentions of his future club, Real Madrid.
Mbappé at the Olympics, no!
If the White House has not yet formalized the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the French striker has received a clear message from his future employer: his possible participation in the Olympics is not even negotiable. Real does not intend to release its foreign internationals who took part in Euro 2024. Carlo Ancelotti subtly reminded this by taking the example of Mbappé’s teammate with the Blues, Eduardo Camavinga.
“ I think that those who participate in the European Championship, like Camavinga for example, will not then go to the Olympic Games », Launched the Italian technician. A clear message which confirms the line set by President Florentino Perez.
