France's president Emmanuel Macron has expressed his desire to see the star at this summer's Paris Olympics.

And Kylian Mbappé has himself said that he would love to play Olympic football.

But the Frenchman, who now belongs to Real Madrid, was not selected in coach Thierry Henry's U23 squad.

Now the 25-year-old explains why.

My new club has been very clear, he says according to L'Equipe ahead of France's European Championship premiere against Austria on Monday.

I understand why. It wouldn't be a good start to come without any holiday.

Unlike most international tournaments on the men's side, clubs are not obliged to release their players for the Olympics.

The Olympics in Paris take place from 26 July to 11 August.
