Mbappe Anticipates Pre-Euro Decision on Future

Kylian Mbappe (25) anticipates making a decision on his next club before the commencement of the European Championship in June, revealing his intentions to represent France in both the Euros and potentially the Olympics in Paris. Amidst swirling speculations about his future post-Paris St Germain, Mbappe maintains his focus on his international duties while expressing his aspirations for Olympic participation.

Addressing reporters ahead of France’s friendly clash against Germany, Mbappe remained tight-lipped about his future destination, asserting his commitment to revealing any decisions with integrity: “I’ve always said that when I have something to announce, I’ll do it as a man.” He hinted at a resolution before the Euros kick off, signaling a decisive turn in his career path.

While the prospect of joining the Olympics holds immense appeal for Mbappe, he acknowledges that the final verdict rests beyond his control: “I always wanted to play at the Olympics…but if I’m not allowed to, then I will do as I’m told.” The Olympic men’s tournament features Under-23 squads, with limitations on the number of senior players permitted per team.
