Atletico Madrid not willing to let Griezmann feature in the Olympics

The Paris Olympics 2024 is the great dream of sportsmen and women, especially those who were born in or represent France. Football is no less so, but the war between clubs and the federation has already begun.

Real Madrid was the first to deny its players the right to play in the Olympic Games. Players such as Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, as well as Kylian Mbappe if he were to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu, have to convince Real Madrid if they want to take part in the Olympics.

But the 'Merengues' are not the only one reluctant to release players. 'RMC Sport' claims that Atletico Madrid are not going to release Antoine Griezmann, one of the three players over the age of 23 who could be in the French squad.

The Atletico Madrid forward has never hidden his desire to be at Paris 2024. To compete in the Olympic Games and to do it in your own country is a unique experience in the life of an athlete.

"I haven't talked about it with the coach or the management, but it would be a dream for me. If they call me up, I will push for them to let me do it. It's a dream, the goal is in France, representing France. I want to and it would be a dream to live that from the inside," he said months ago.
