Announced with insistence at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé must face a first hiccup with the refusal of the Spanish club to release its players for the Olympics. A decision with serious consequences?
By repeating his “ envy » to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games while affirming that he “ would respect the decision of his club“, Kylian Mbappé was right. The French world champion finds himself in a delicate situation. His future club, Real Madrid, refuses to release its players for the Olympics.
Eager to put together the best possible team to go for gold, Thierry Henry is not desperate. “ I never stopped at the first 'no' in general. We will try to see what we can do, but in the end the decision remains, unfortunately, that of the clubs“, launched the coach of the Espoirs, who switched to the event by integrating the U23s.
“If you have to go see Florentino Perez in Madrid…”
Thierry Henry will not be alone in this club tour. He will be supported by Philippe Diallo, the president of the FFF. As part of the draw for the Olympic football tournaments, the French leader did not beat around the bush: he wants to see Real Madrid change its mind.
“ I don't write political fiction, I don't know where Kylian Mbappé will go, no announcement has been made. With Thierry Henry and his staff, we are fighting to convince as many clubs as possible (to release the players). I regret the position of Real Madrid which closes the door to a dream of many players. I respect their decision. It is also the only foreign club to have informed us of this. If we have to go see Florentino Perez in Madrid, we will. Obviously, having the best player in the world in France for a home Games would be a great asset.“. The soap opera has only just begun.
