Kylian Mbappe
Several clubs have reportedly been interested in French superstar Kylian Mbappe on the day he leaves Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid has always been at the top of his wish list, but clubs such as Liverpool and Arsenal have also been talked about.
Kylian Mbappe has revealed why he won’t be moving to Arsenal this summer as he leaves PSG on a free transfer and inadvertently went some way to confirming his move to Real Madrid in the process. – But that was before Real Madrid refused its players to participate in this summer’s Olympics in Paris, which will embarrass the French national team captain.
Mbappe is set to leave the Ligue 1 leaders when his deal is up in June, and while this is not official, it is an “open secret”.

Real Madrid look set to be the club that Mbappe joins, but speculation that he could leave for the Premier League is not entirely over.
FootballTransfers wrote last summer that Arsenal were considering the feasibility of a deal for the 25-year-old World Cup winner, which has ultimately proved out of their reach.
The player has confirmed it in a video posted on X by Mikey Poulli, a young footballer who trains with the England national team for the blind.

He was given the opportunity to meet Mbappe and asked the PSG star if he would sign for Arsenal. The conversation went like this:
“Come to Arsenal,” Mikey told the World Cup winner.
“Arsenal!?” was Mbappe’s reply, laughing.
“We’ll take care of you,” Mikey added.
“There’s no way, there’s no way,” said the PSG star.
“Why?” Mikey asked.
“It’s too cold there,” Mbappe said, closing the issue.
This is another hint from the PSG striker that he will move to Madrid, which is significantly warmer than both Paris and London.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta had previously confirmed that the Gunners’ interest in the player was genuine.
Speaking to the press last month, he said: “When there’s a player of that caliber we always have to be in the conversation, but as you say, it looks different.
“Why not? If we want to be the best team, we need the best talent and the best players.
“I am not involved. Maybe Edu and the owners are, I’m not in these conversations until the last phase.”
