Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Kylian Mbappe will head to the Premier League, according to a report. With two teams, Liverpool and Arsenal showing interest, Mbappe has already decided on his destination. 토토사이트

“Mbappe has already made up his mind between Arsenal and Liverpool,” British Sports Bible said on the 1st (Korea time). “Real Madrid was the frontrunner to recruit Mbappe, but Arsenal and Liverpool have emerged as true competitors. Mbappe’s favorite team will be Arsenal.”

“Mbappe is interested in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s project in north London,” he said, adding that Arsenal had already succeeded in signing Declan Rice from West Ham last summer.

Mbappe, the most popular player in France, is uncertain about his future at PSG. He already had a friction with the club last summer when he refused to renew his contract.

Mbappe, who shook off Real Madrid’s interest and signed a two-year contract with PSG last summer, announced that he would not invoke a clause that allows him to extend his contract with PSG for another year after the 2022/23 season ends. He announced that he would leave the team at the end of the 2023/24 season.

PSG, which was preparing to sign an extension contract to start making a new edition centered on Mbappe, was furious. He urged Mbappe to leave immediately last summer, the last time he could earn a transfer fee, if he did not intend to renew his contract. Mbappe refused to budge, and PSG threatened Mbappe with staying in the stands for the rest of the season. He later removed Mbappe’s name from the Japanese and Korean tour lists.

In fact, Mbappe watched the game from the stands until the opening game of the league. In the end, however, PSG had no choice but to take a step back. PSG, which already had a big gap in its offense after sending Neymar to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal, had a goalless draw with Lorient in the opening game. It was a match that felt Mbappe’s absence significantly.

Mbappe made a surprise comeback in the second round against Toulouse. He saved his team from defeat by scoring an equalizer in penalty kicks in the second half of the match. Since then, he has managed to seal the conflict with the club and continues to play an active role day by day. He has scored a whopping 14 goals in 12 matches in the league, and has also scored three goals in five matches in the Champions League, recording 17 goals in 17 matches in all competitions.

However, since he has yet to extend his contract with PSG, he can freely start negotiations with other clubs without PSG’s consent when the winter transfer window opens immediately. He will become a free agent six months later and will move to another club.

Against this backdrop, rumors began to emerge that Real, the most likely candidate among Mbappe’s future destinations, was out of the competition. Real, which had been steadily seeking to recruit Mbappe, was not willing to meet Mbappe’s astronomical salary.

Spain’s Cadena Ser said last month, “Real has also abandoned Mbappe since Mbappe ruled out moving to Real for the past seven years. Real has no plan to recruit Parisian No. 7,” adding that Real’s interest in Mbappe has cooled, citing three reasons: the burden of astronomical salaries, the club’s transfer policy, and Mbappe’s move.

Real also issued an official statement, saying, “The speculation that there was a negotiation between the club and Mbappe, which has been announced by various media recently, is completely wrong information. The club reveals that there has never been a negotiation with Mbappe.”

Since then, rumors of a Premier League transfer have emerged. Football London said on the 29th, “Ahnall and Liverpool are considering the possibility of transferring to Mbappe,” adding, “Ahnall is competing with Liverpool to recruit Mbappe and is considering the financial possibility of signing Mbappe.”

Daily Record also reported, “Both Liverpool and Arsenal have begun considering Mbappe from a financial and sporting perspective to sign him on a free agency next summer. Of course, Mbappe could stay with PSG. Mbappe is happy with PSG’s direction towards a younger, more performance-driven team.”

England’s Team Talk reported, “Liverpool wants to bring Mbappe to Anfield. They know that Mbappe’s mother is rooting for Liverpool, and that Mbappe is a fan of Jürgen Klopp. However, Liverpool has to give up superstar Mohamed Salah if it wants to meet Mbappe’s huge wage demands. Salah is receiving an offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Tihad,” adding that his transfer to Liverpool is rather unlikely.

“If Arsenal recruit Mbappe, Arteta will have a powerful trio that includes Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. We are keeping an eye on Ivan Toney and Benjamin Seschko to find a striker to replace Gabriel Jesus, but Mbappe is undoubtedly the best option,” he said. “If Arsenal recruit Mbappe, it could be a ‘coup’ in the transfer market.”
