Arsenal transfer news: The Gunners will be among a host of clubs linked with a big-money move for Kylian Mbappe after he was left out of PSG’s pre-season tour ahead of the Ligue Un season.
Kylian Mbappe is for sale and that will alert the biggest clubs in world football. The France star has just one year left on his contract at Paris Saint-Germain and has no intention of signing a new Ԁєɑł.
PSG are not impressed and they haveno intention of losing their star man on a free transfernext summer, with president Nasser El-Khelaifi saying: “We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free. We can’t do that. This is a French club.
“He said he would never leave for free. If he changes his mind today, it’s not my fault. We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free, that’s very clear.”
And, as a result, the French side have put the 24-year-old up for sale having left him out of their squad for their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea. PSG believeMbappehas alreayd agreed terms on a Ԁєɑł with Real Madrid next summer, but want to get money for the frontman before such a situation comes to pass.
Plenty of clubs will be interested in signing Mbappe this summer, including the likes of Premier League sides Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool.But can any of them afford him?And would Mbappe want to go, even for just one year, if he is due to ɾєρօɾτ to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2024?
Interested clubs have been given an indication of how much they would need to shell out to sign him this summer.
PSG are looking for a fee in the region of £160million to sell Mbappe this summer – astronomical for a player with just one year left on his contract. Then there are his wages.
Mbappeis understood to earn around £2million a week in the French capital and would demand a signing bonus too, similar to the one he is ɾєρօɾτed to have lined up at Madrid. At £2million a week and a £160million transfer fee, Arsenal and any other clubs wanting to sign him this summer would have to splash at least £260million in one year, and given his desire to join Real Madrid, it may only єɴԀ up being for one season!
