Antoine Griezmann has spoken in an interview for 'Le Monde' about his possible participation in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. He also discussed the situation of his compatriot Kylian Mbappe, with whom he could share a squad for the Olympic tournament.

French star Antoine Griezmann has given an interview to 'Le Monde' in which he spoke about his possible participation in next summer's Olympic Games: "I will do everything to participate in the Olypimc Games".

The striker stated that he would have to meet with Atletico's board, as it is not a FIFA competition and the 'Colchoneros' are not obliged to loan him out for the tournament. The fact that there is a European Championship complicates things even more, as it is a huge strain on the player.

Griezmann is clear that playing in two consecutive international tournaments is not a problem: "I know my body, we have first class physiotherapists, so there is no need to worry".

On the other hand, he said about the situation of Kylian Mbappe: "He will be welcome in Spain. I'll be happy to play in the Madrid derby against him" The same Mbappe has also made it clear that he wants to be at the Olympics. Who knows if both will lead Thierry Henry's France in the fight for gold.
