Kylian Mbappé considered retiring from international football

4

According to Romain Molina, Kylian Mbappé (26) considered retiring from international football when he didn’t participate in the France squad in November 2024. The France captain was excluded from two consecutive Les Bleus squads, and this made him consider his international future. 

Molina understands that it was Mbappé who refused to participate in the squads, rather than Deschamps taking the decision to exclude him. The 26-year-old pondered greatly about an early retirement from France duties before deciding against it following a discussion with the France boss. 

Since being excluded from two squads at the end of 2024, the Real Madrid forward has come back into contention and has featured regularly under Didier Deschamps. Mbappé started Les Bleus’ most recent match against Spain, where they were defeated 5-4. The forward scored a penalty in the match and started in a central striking role, where he has featured predominantly for Real Madrid this season.
