According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe is considering a potential move to Arsenal due to one individual.
The Independent states that Mbappe would be open to joining Arsenal, but the club is unwilling to deviate from their predetermined budget plan to facilitate the transfer.
With Mbappe’s contract at PSG set to expire at the end of June, there is significant uncertainty surrounding his future.
While there have been strong suggestions of a transfer to Real Madrid for Mbappe, nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet.
The reason Mbappe is interested in joining Arsenal is because it would provide him with the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Thierry Henry, who is regarded as a legendary figure.
Henry played a crucial role in Arsenal’s successful Invincibles team, which won the Premier League title in the 2003-04 season without suffering a single defeat. He holds the club record for scoring 228 goals.
Throughout his career, Mbappe has often been compared to Henry due to their similar paths to success, both having made their breakthrough at the French club Monaco.
During his time in the French capital, Mbappe has made 289 appearances for PSG and scored an impressive 242 goals.
There are rumors circulating that Mbappe’s entourage has reservations about Real Madrid’s contract offer. While he has previously come close to leaving PSG for a move to Real Madrid, he ultimately chose to stay and extend his contract with the French champions.
Now, the time has finally come for Mbappe to leave France, and he could potentially be heading to either La Liga or the Premier League.
At present, there is uncertainty surrounding Mbappe’s future, with recent speculation also linking him to a move to Liverpool. However, the potential departure of Jurgen Klopp might deter Mbappe from considering Anfield as his next destination.
