Mbappé says France would not let him follow Ronaldo to 41
Kylian Mbappé has ruled out continuing his international or professional career until the age of 41, saying France would not permit it. The forward nevertheless praised Cristiano Ronaldo’s exceptional longevity, drawing a contrast between his own expectations and the veteran Portuguese star’s extended career.
Kylian Mbappé has said he does not expect to continue playing until he is 41, arguing that France would not allow him to maintain a career for that long. The comments came as Mbappé discussed Cristiano Ronaldo’s longevity. The French forward praised Ronaldo’s ability to sustain his career over many years, but made clear that he does not see himself following the same path.
Mbappé’s remarks present Ronaldo’s career length as an exceptional achievement rather than a model he expects to replicate. The available report does not provide further details about whether he was referring specifically to international football, club football, or both. The report also gives no indication of how long Mbappé intends to continue playing.
It records only his rejection of the prospect of reaching the age of 41 as a player and his admiration for Ronaldo’s career.
