Kylian Mbappe's departure from PSG on May 10 has sparked widespread speculation, notably over a potential move to Real Madrid.

According to RMC Sport, Emmanuel Macron said: 

"I have no particular comment to make other than the fact that I am counting upon Real Madrid to free up Kylian for the Olympic Games so he can play with the French team,"
