The matches will overlap with the Paris Olympic Games – meaning some players may not feature. However, plenty of storylines still present themselves. Brazilian starlet Endrick is set to join Real Madrid this summer from Palmeiras and may be in action, while PSG's Kylian Mbappe could also make his Blancos debut in the same tournament.
Meanwhile, USMNT duo Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah might play in their home country in front of their Rossoneri fans – but only if they opt to not represent the Stars and Stripes in the Paris Games. Musah is eligible for the squad, while Pulisic could be included as one of three over-age players.
DID YOU KNOW?
Endrick, despite being only 18-years-old, already has 18 career goals at club level. He also made his first-team debut for Brazil last November and was included in the Selecao selection for March's games against England and Spain.
