In March 2023, he received his first call-up to the France senior national team for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches against the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. [9] He made his international debut, coming off the bench in the 89th minute to substitute Adrien Rabiot, in a 4–0 victory over the Netherlands.
