Kylian Mbappe announced a month ago that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season and the truth is that it has not yet been made official what the French superstar's next destination will be, although for the football world it is practically a given that he will end up joining Real Madrid this summer after several years in which 'Los Blancos' have tried to land him.
One of the most talked about things in the French press is the possibility of Mbappe leading the France U23 team at the Olympic Games in Paris, something the winger has already openly said he would like to participate in. However, his more than likely next team already made it clear a few months ago that players who participate in Euro 2024 will not play in the Olympics, as is the case for example of Camavinga and Tchouameni, Mbappe's national team mates.
The PSG star means more to the country mediatically than any player, which is why President Emmanuel Macron himself said a few weeks ago that he hoped the Spanish team would allow the Bondy native to compete in the tournament in Paris in August.
However, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who travelled to Paris on Monday for the 120th anniversary of the creation of FIFA, had a short meeting with Emmanuel Macron in which the Frenchman tried to change his mind about the decision on the next the 'Merengues' star, according to 'El Tiempo de Juego'.
However, the Spanish boss maintained his position that Mbappe will only play the European Championship in Germany with 'Les Bleus' and will join Los Blancos' training camp in August to start the season in top condition.
