French President Emmanuel Macron has urged European clubs to release their players for the Paris Olympics men's football tournament this summer, with a particular focus on Real Madrid. This comes as France star Kylian Mbappé is reportedly set to join the Spanish giants at the end of his Paris Saint-Germain contract in June.
The men's Olympic tournament falls outside of FIFA's international windows, meaning clubs are not obligated to release their players to national teams. Additionally, it is an under-23 competition, allowing for three senior players in each squad.
