There will be no Real Madrid player in the French Olympic team. According to information from The Team that we are able to confirm, the Madrid club recently informed, via a letter, the French Football Federation that it will not release its players to participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games tournament.
For now, if Kylian Mbappé has not yet officially expressed his wish to join Real Madrid nor yet signed his contract, it is towards this destination that he seems to be heading. If his signing is made official in the coming weeks, the captain of the Blues should therefore follow this directive.
No Olympics for Tchouaméni and Camavinga
Other French players are in fact concerned, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, already present in the Madrid squad. This Thursday at a press conference, Didier Deschamps was also questioned about the players’ ability to compete in two international competitions this summer.
“These are not FIFA dates and the teams will need their players at the start of the season,” said the coach of the A. “Are the teams abroad there to think of us and the Olympics? No, they think about their team and their players so it will be their decision. We discuss but they will make their decision. » “If Thierry (Henry, Bleuets coach) decides to take a player and his club agrees, he will be in his team,” assured the 1998 world champion.
