    With his contract at Paris Saint-Germain nearing its conclusion, Mbappe has become the subject of intense transfer speculation.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    According to The Independent, Arsenal have emerged as a viable destination for Mbappe as the goalscorer would "willingly join" the north London club to follow in the footsteps of Henry, Arsenal's legendary striker and all-time leading goalscorer. However, the offices at Parc des Princes continue to believe that a move to Real Madrid remains the most plausible option.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The financial package already offered by Real Madrid reportedly falls short of Mbappe's expectations as it is less lucrative than the one presented in 2022.

    WHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE?

    According to the report, Liverpool were approached by the player's entourage but the Reds did not want to break their wage structure. Arsenal may similarly choose to go down the same route which would leave Mbappe with fewer options, if he does indeed choose to snub Madrid after leaving PSG.
