PSG will not allow Neymar and Marquinhos to participate in the Tokyo Olympics

The two Brazilian stars of PSG, currently at the Copa America, see their last hopes of going to the Olympics vanish,


It is the end of a soap opera that was not a successful series.

According to ESPN Brazil, PSG vetoed the request of the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation), and warned that it would not release either Neymar or Marquinhos to play the Tokyo Olympics with the Brazilian national team.

The Auriverde have just started the Copa America at home with a victory over Venezuela (3-0), with a goal for each of the two Parisians.

A month ago, the striker first expressed a wish to travel to Japan.

The capital club then quickly closed the door: "We must manage our player well, protect him and not expose him," Leonardo explained.

Today the calendar is very busy for everyone.

Unfortunately, there is difficulty because there are too many games in a season.

We see the wounds.

Marquinhos then engaged with the same wish, as at the previous Games in Rio.

Here again, PSG had not wanted to go in the direction of its defender and captain.

According to ESPN, “the main reason for PSG's refusal is that the period of the Olympic Games is placed outside the Fifa dates.

Thus, the capital club does not have the obligation to release its players.

"Still according to ESPN Brazil," the CBF is currently studying scenarios, but the idea is not to come into conflict with the clubs.

"

This double news should therefore logically cut short the wishes of Kylian Mbappé.

It is difficult to imagine how the world star of the France team, who attacks the Euro this Tuesday against Germany, could have a special privilege with regard to his two teammates.
