“I have no particular comment to make except that I am counting on Real Madrid to release Kylian for the Olympic Games so that he can play with the France team,” Macron said in a video published on his X account.
Mbappe, 25, has played 77 times for France and scored a goal in the 2018 World Cup final against Croatia to help his team win the trophy.
