The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga continues to unfold with new twists every passing day. Reports from France have confirmed the news that the player has decided to exit Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer this summer. While this was already expected by many, it is his next club that has captured everyone’s interest.
There has been no confirmation of any kind regarding which club Mbappe will join, as he hasn’t made a decision yet. Real Madrid is considered the favorites, but some other clubs also appear to be in the race.
Soccer fans severely ridicule Arsenal’s interest in Kylian Mbappe transfer
Real Madrid is considered the favorite to sign Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer, with many reports and sources discussing it since the beginning of the season. The two parties have been involved for a long time, and the deal was close to happening in 2022 as well. However, there are other clubs interested in the player, whether he is interested or not.
Some Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal were interested in the player, though it seems unlikely. One shocking news came out that Mbappe wants to join Arsenal to emulate club and French legend Thierry Henry.

This prompted one journalist to directly ask manager Mikel Arteta himself whether such a move is being thought by the club. The Spaniard responded positively, saying it is up to the owners.
“Why not? If we want to be the best team, we are going to need the best talent & the best players. I am not involved. Maybe Edu and the owners are, I’m not in those conversations until the last stage,” Arteta said.
However, this has earned ridicule for the club, with many social media users making fun of the idea that Mbappe would ever come to Arsenal. Many have pointed out how absurd it is for the club to even think about signing a player like Mbappe.
Why Kylian Mbappe to Arsenal is very unlikely to happen?
While many fans of the club may be happy with the rumor of Kylian Mbappe joining their club, the truth is it is quite improbable. While Arsenal does have a good sporting project, they are nowhere near the likes of Real Madrid in stature or history. It simply makes more sense for Mbappe to play for the Spanish team.

Furthermore, Arsenal does not want to pay an outrageous wage bill that Mbappe would demand, as they already have a very strict salary structure and do not want to risk breaking it. The Gunners would also have a hard time convincing the player to join in the first place.
This is why many fans are laughing at the rumors of the two being mentioned together. So it is quite a dream to think Kylian Mbappe would be joining them, but Arsenal fans will still hope for a miracle to happen.
