French football superstar Kylian Mbappé is ready to chase a golden summer—but his Olympic dreams might collide with his blockbuster move to Real Madrid! 🌟 The 25-year-old captain confirmed he wants to play for France at both Euro 2024 and the Paris Olympics, calling it a 'dream' to compete in his home country. But there’s a twist: Real Madrid, his likely new club after leaving PSG in June, says no to releasing players for the Games. 😮
⚡️ The drama? Olympic football rules allow only three players over 23 per squad. Mbappé would be a marquee pick, but Real’s firm stance—even emailing France’s football federation—puts his Olympic bid in doubt. Teammates-to-be Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga are also on Real’s 'no-go' list. Will club loyalty override national pride? 🤔
💬 Mbappé’s message: 'I’ll be there if selected.' But with Real’s preseason overlapping the Olympics (July 24-Aug. 9), this showdown is heating up faster than a Parisian baguette oven. 🥖 Stay tuned!
