For the first time, after a long absence from attending press conferences for the French national team, since last June, as the “captain” of the “Roosters” national team, the young star Kylian Mbappe (24 years old) returned to speak again, on the occasion of the national team’s match against Gibraltar, in the ninth round, and before… The last European qualifiers for Euro 2024, and he discussed several topics, but he refused to talk about his future with Paris Saint-Germain, indicating that neither the place nor the time is appropriate to talk about this matter.
When asked about the possibilities of his participation in the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris in the summer of 2024, Mbappe said: I do not know yet whether I will be there or not, and if the French fans strongly want to watch him in the tournament that will be held in France, the world champion crowned in the World Cup in Russia. In 2018, he in turn expressed a firm desire to participate, but he made a statement that surprised the journalists present, as he said: The decision is not in my hands, but rather up to the club for which I play, “Saint-Germain”, and I would be happy if I participated in it, but if the club does not want to I will comply with his decision.
Mbappe, the top scorer in the last World Cup in 2022, did not want to reassure the French about his participation, despite his strong desire to participate, and commented, saying: Thinking about this matter will not take long. If the answer is approval from the club, I will participate in the Olympic tournament, and if not. I will not participate in it, despite my and all the French’s strong desire for me to have this honor.
Yahoo Sports reported that Mbappe’s answer to this previous question was not only surprising, but it could be inferred from it that he will remain in the “Princes’ Park” next summer, and will not leave anywhere else.
When one of the present journalists asked him a direct question regarding his future, and whether he would renew his contract with Saint-Germain, the “spoiled Bondi boy” expressed his anger at raising this issue at this time, during a national team gathering, and he preferred not to respond, and contented himself with saying: If you want an answer about… This question is for you to come to Saint-Germain, and I will answer it. But here we are in Clairefontaine, the stronghold of the national team and the country before anything else.
Mbappe stressed that the rumors that circulate frequently about his future in Saint-Germain do not affect him at all, do not put pressure on him inside the “green rectangle,” and he never thinks about them while playing. Rather, his main concern is to score many goals in order for his team and his country to win.
