Kylian Mbappe is one of the big stars who have expressed their desire to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games, which will be precisely in Paris. The captain of the French National Team has not yet had the opportunity to participate in some games, and now that they are in France, the player wants to have a chance in the team that Thierry Henry will lead.

 

However, there is a problem that Mbappe is aware of. The event is for the U23 National Team, an age that Mbappe has already surpassed. However, the rules of the competition allow each Team to have 3 reinforcements of players over that age, so Kylian has offered to be one of those three reinforcements.

“On the field it would have been good. But unfortunately I can't help you. We have the Olympic Games in France, it's historic. I am very happy, but at the moment the priority is the Euro Espoirs and I am thinking of the players born on January 1, 2002 and that is not bad, "he said at a press conference.

 

Is Mbappe's presence in the Olympics in danger?

The former French player said he has other long-term priorities. However, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Philippe Diallo -present at Henry's long start-, was less elusive and announced that he will ask the French clubs to make an effort to field "the best possible team". .
