Real Madrid is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Kylian Mbappe this summer. In anticipation of this blockbuster move, the team wants to ensure the striker remains completely healthy, which is why it has denied him permission to play in the Paris 2024 Olympics.

After several years of rumors, it seems like Kylian Mbappe will finally join Real Madrid. The French striker didn’t extend his contract with PSG, becoming a free agent this summer.

Even though Real Madrid has not made his signing official yet, every report indicates that Kylian Mbappe will wear the white jersey this year. However, their relationship may not have a great start, as the club has denied him permission to play in the Summer Olympics in his own country.

Reports indicate that Real Madrid wants Kylian Mbappe to start integrating with the team immediately, and the Olympics would interfere with this process. The Merengues are planning their usual summer tour, where they will present their new star to the world.

Although everything is set for Mbappe to sign with the 14-time Champions League winners, this decision may complicate things. The striker wants to shine in the Olympics in his home country, and the denial may not be well-received by the former PSG player.
