'I want to play until I'm 40!' - Tigres star Gignac sets sights on 2024 Olympics alongside Mbappe and Griezmann

The veteran forward starred for Les Bleus in Tokyo - and he is ready to do it all again in Paris in 2024

Andre-Pierre Gignac says he has no intention of retiring despite his advancing years and is already eyeing a place in the France Olympic squad for the Paris Games in 2024 – when he will be 38.

The Tigres UANL striker, one of three over-age players in the France squad, has impressed in Tokyo despite their elimination at the group stage, ending the competition with four goals in three matches.

Thoughts are already starting to drift towards a home Games in just three years’ time and Gignac is ready to be a part of it, stating his belief that Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann could join him.
