The news that Kylian Mbappe had told Paris Saint-Germain of his intention to quit the club was reported Friday evening, and since then, the rumor mill has been buzzing with theories about what the future holds for the player.
According to Mbappe, who is 25 years old, his current contract will expire at the conclusion of the current season, and he has made the decision to go on as a free agent.
Overnight, there were rumors that suggested that the French superstar had given the go-ahead for the transfer to Real Madrid. This is another indication that the French superstar is likely to join Real Madrid in the summer.
However, Arsenal, known as one of the most dominant teams in the Premier League, continues to be a potential destination for the player who won the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Speculations about Mbappe are addressed by Arteta.
As part of a news conference that took place earlier today, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was questioned about the rumors surrounding Kylian Mbappe and whether or not it seems like the Frenchman is on his way to Real Madrid.
As a reaction, the Spaniard remarked that it is a positive development that Arsenal is in the process of negotiating for such a high talent, but he also admitted that the forward’s future may be in other places.
According to Sky Sports, Arteta was quoted as saying, “When there is a player of that calibre, we always have to be in the conversation, but, as you say, it looks in a different way.”
All roads lead to Madrid
Kylian Mbappe is expected to be on his way to Real Madrid in the summer, as was said before. Everything points to the fact that he will be joining Real Madrid.
It has been said that discussions are now taking place between the club and the camp of the forward in order to discuss the particulars of the contract. Given that all parties are interested in the same outcome, it is not anticipated that this will be a troublesome situation.
In light of this, it would seem that Real Madrid will finally be able to achieve their goal of acquiring a player at the Santiago Bernabeu in a few months, after several efforts.
