Transfer gossip: Mbappe’s Prem preference revealed as Arsenal

Kylian Mbappe and PSG are currently engaged in a stand-off. At some point very soon, one or both will have to budge…

Mbappe remains insistent that he won’t sign a new contract beyond next year and ESPN says the France star accepts he might have to move this summer.  The 24-year-old’s preferred option is to join Real Madrid, and Sky Sports reports that PSG reckon a deal has already been arranged. But the Ligue 1 side won’t stand by and let their biggest asset move to Real for nothing. They intend to sell Mbappe to the highest bidder this summer, whoever that may be.

Real are struggling to afford a fee and Mbappe’s wages so Florentino Perez is determined to sit tight and take the player for nothing next year. Which presents an opportunity for other clubs to step in. The Independent says there is no sign of a Liverpool offer, but if Mbappe was to move to the Premier League, his preference would be to join Arsenal because ‘he likes the evolution of Mikel Arteta’s team and would also enjoy the challenge of delivering the title to the club again’.
