French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera expressed hope in a comment to RMC Sport that forward of Paris Saint-Germain and the national team, Kylian Mbappe, will be able to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
He has already given us so much, but we are disappointed because we want to see him more on the field in our country, watch him play more often. What I want to say is that he is still our captain in the French national team, and I really want him to play at the Olympic Games.
