The World Cup-winning forward is anticipated to leave the French capital for the Spanish one once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires and he becomes a free agent. The recently crowned La Liga champions are prepared to add another ‘Galactico’ to their roster.

Before donning the iconic white jersey for the first time, Mbappe has a packed summer ahead. He is slated to spearhead France’s campaign for European Championship glory in Germany. Additionally, there has been speculation about him returning to France to compete for an Olympic gold medal.

France President Emmanuel Macron is striving to make this Olympic dream come true. He recently met with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez at an event at the Elysee Palace celebrating FIFA’s 120th anniversary.

According to Radio Marca, Macron was informed that Real Madrid will not permit any of their players to participate in the Olympics, as it is not a FIFA-sanctioned event. The club is worried about potential injuries to key players and wants Mbappe to join their squad at Santiago Bernabeu after his participation in Euro 2024.
