Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappé is widely believed to be on his way to Real Madrid this summer, but there has been some debate over when he will debut for Los Blancos.
The 25-year-old will be at the Euros for France and has also said he wants to take part in the Olympics in his hometown, which starts ten days later and ends the week before Real Madrid's La Liga campaign begins .
France coach Didier Deschamps has admitted that Real Madrid have sent a letter to the French Football Federation stating that they will not sell any of their players for the Olympics, according to Diario AS. This would exclude Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni, as well as potentially Mbappé.
Mbappé ready to give in
There was talk that the decision whether or not to allow the Bondy native to participate in the Games would be a source of tension, and potentially a point of negotiation with Real Madrid, but journalist Matteo Moretto informed Fabrizio Romano's Daily Briefing that this was not the case. The Frenchman will not force things with Real Madrid, and it will not have an impact in contract negotiations.
Although this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the virtuoso, Real Madrid will no doubt fear the physical impact of two successive international tournaments on a high-profile signing. Furthermore, Mbappé's presence during the pre-season tour of the United States could translate into millions in additional revenue for Los Blancos.
