Fans are questioning the credibility of rumors that suggest Arsenal’s interest in signing Kylian Mbappe. The Premier League club has been teased by football fans, despite Real Madrid seeming to be the frontrunners for the 25-year-old forward. Mbappe will become a free agent this summer when his contract with PSG expires.
When asked about a potential deal for Mbappe, Arsenal manager respectfully denied it, stating that Los Blancos might secure the superstar. Mbappe has been involved in a transfer saga with Madrid since 2017, but it may finally come to an end next summer when his contract ends. Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with the World Cup winner, but reports suggest that he may have verbally agreed to sign for Real Madrid. However, the footballing world remains skeptical until they see it, given what happened in the past.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has become the target of internet trolls. Fans sarcastically banter that Mbappe has “verbally agreed” to never sign for the North Londoners. The Gunners would have to offload several big stars to afford Mbappe’s massive salary of £62 million per year. Additionally, the club is already searching for other forwards.
Since joining PSG, Mbappe has scored 243 goals in 290 games. The news of his supposed agreement with Arsenal may have sparked this banter. Football Twitter has once again found a target to bash, this time being Arsenal. Troll accounts jokingly suggest that Arsenal and Mbappe have agreed to a secret pact to never pursue a bid again. Fans humorously share images implying Arsenal’s inability to afford Mbappe.
Here are some of the fans’ reactions:
– “Who invited Arsenal? 😭”
– “Arteta attempting to buy Mbappe 💀”
– “Barcelona and Mbappe have reached an agreement. They both agreed Barca is a small club”
– “Deep down, he looks perfect in this shirt”
– “Done deal 🤣🤣🤣”
– “Arsenal couldn’t beat finised Chelsea to Mudryk and they want to fight Madrid for Mbappe”
– “The only Mbappe Arsenal are signing”
– “Mbappe to Arsenal will be epicMartinell – Mbappe – Saka MMS 🤣🤣🤣🤣”
– “Mbappe on Arsenal”
– “Arsenal fans rn 🤣🤣🤣”
A rival fan claims that Arsenal’s chances of signing Kylian Mbappe are extremely slim, especially considering their failure to sign another player who chose to join Chelsea.
