The acting president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Philippe Diallo, has confirmed a certain big decision set to be made by Kylian Mbappe in 2024.
The 24-year-old recently made it clear he will be a Paris Saint-Germain player next season despite interest from Real Madrid having resurfaced.

Having won the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and the UEFA Nations League in 2021, Mbappe has already tasted success on the international stage.
However, the player has often reiterated that he would also like to get his hands on an Olympic gold medal too, and the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics could present him with the opportunity to claim one in his city of birth.
Diallo has since revealed that he wants to have a strong Les Bleus team at the event, and confirmed he wants national team captain Mbappe to be part of that squad, although the tournament's scheduling may pose a challenge.
"We'll have to put together the most competitive team, and we all have a name in mind who would increase our ambition ten-fold," the FFF acting president said, according to Get French Football News.
"Kylian Mbappe has already spoken on the subject. He wants to take part. By way of their characteristics, the Olympics are a dream for athletes. And I think that with our best players, the team can step on to the podium.
"Kylian Mbappe is someone who chases records, and a gold medal would be a way for him to make history. It will be difficult to play in the Euros, the Olympics and Ligue 1 one after the other. But we haven't had the Olympics here in a century."
The Olympics are set to take place from 26 July to 11 August next year, little more than a week after the 2024 UEFA European Championship in Germany concludes on 14 July.
Speaking about fulfilling his dream playing at the Olympics, Mbappe told Tout le Sport in April: "I don't know if I'll be there. But, in any case, I hope to be there. Everyone knows that I've always dreamed of playing the Olympic Games.
"It doesn't depend on me. There are a lot of factors that come into play and we will have to study them all.
"I will not force to do them [the Games] either. They're not in the FIFA calendar.
"If people do not want me to do them, that will mean that I must not do them."
