Mbappe, 25, was the centre of discussion with Henry on Wednesday night’s Champions League show on CBS Sports Golazo.

The current France U23 coach is preparing for the summer Olympics in Paris and is keen to have French sensation Mbappe in the squad.

And Henry revealed the PSG skipper is open to playing but it will not be up to Mbappe but rather the team who is playing to let him go.

Henry said on CBS Sports Golazo: “I didn’t speak to him yet directly about the Olympic situation.

“I have been calling players, as you know, but I will keep that to myself obviously.

“But Mbappe went on TV the other day and said he would like to play them. But it will depend on the team he picks this summer.

“It’s not a matter of wanting him. It’s a matter of, can he? Would he have the approval of his team to come?”

There has been intense transfer speculation with Mbappe who is entering the final year of his contract at the Parc des Princes.

Long-term admirers Real Madrid are the front-runner to land the World Cup 2018 winner’s signature.

But Henry did not want to reveal his thoughts of where his fellow Frenchman will go.

He added: “Where he is going to go, no one knows, everyone thinks it is going to be one place.”

It is understood Mbappe currently has an offer from Los Blancos on the table who he came very close to signing back in the summer of 2022.

The LaLiga giants have tried to sign the ex-Monaco star on many occasions and their latest offer is the one that’s set to finally lead him to the Bernabeu.

But it has been reported that Mbappe may want to follow in the footsteps of Henry’s success at Arsenal as The Independent is stating that the Gunners are a club that Mbappe would “willingly join”.

Premier League leaders Liverpool are also interested in the forward but will not break their wage structure to sign the star who is currently on a contract worth more than £500million at PSG.
