French president Emmanuel Macron admits to putting 'maximum pressure' on Real Madrid to release Kylian Mbappe for Paris Olympics

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to the press, the French president said <a href="https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2024/emmanuel-macron-pressures-real-madrid-into-releasing-kylian-mbappe-for-paris-olympics/" target="_blank">[via GFFN]</a>: "Will Mbappe play with France at the Olympics? I hope. In any, case I have put the maximum pressure on his so-called future club."

WHAT MACRON SAID

As has been reported earlier, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-2024-olympics-france-didier-deschamps-real-madrid-psg-transfer/blt74eeb2e17b166721" target="_blank">Real Madrid have already informed the French Football Federation that they won't be releasing</a> their soon-to-be Galactico for the Olympics as they want to incorporate the 25-year-old into the team dynamics well before the start of the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It remains highly unlikely that Mbappe will star at the Paris Olympics this summer with Real Madrid looking to stand firm on their stance. Additionally, FIFA does not recognize the Olympics as an official tournament and hence, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paris-olympics-sweating-lionel-messi-kylian-mbappe-why-real-madrid-move-threatens-gold-medal-dream-france/blta38db90cec2e460c" target="_blank">Real Madrid are not obliged to let Mbappe join the national team</a>.
