‘I recently spoke with Arteta. And I’ve finally chosen to join on ONE condition’: Kylian Mbappe has finally revealed the sole condition that will cause him to reconsider joining Arsenal before the transfer window closes
Arsenal has the option to strengthen the team for the remainder of the current season and future campaigns when the January transfer window opens. It’s becoming more and more obvious that the Gunners will soon need to expand their attacking lineup.
Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen are only two of the players who have been connected, but their prices are probably going to be in the region of £100 million. Alternatively, in order to get Kylian Mbappe in the summer without having to pay a transfer price, the North London team may work out a pre-contract with him.
Having said that, let’s take a look at the transaction, its potential, and whether Arsenal may pull it off in the upcoming weeks.
Regarding transfers and targets, what has the management stated?
When it comes to talks about transfers in the January transfer window, Mikel Arteta has been somewhat quiet. Instead, he has made it clear that he wants to collaborate with his current players. After Fulham’s defeat, the manager said in an interview with Sky Sports, “[We have to] do what we have done in 19 of the games, with the same players.” When questioned about possible additions, he responded, “The same players,” once more in an attempt to quell speculation.
Since Mbappe only has six months left on his PSG deal, he may now sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign team in the summer as a free agent.
What is the price of him?
It’s obvious that Arsenal could sign the sensational forward for free due to his expiring contract, but it doesn’t imply the deal would be inexpensive. Mbappe’s contract demands are probably going to be quite high considering his talent, reputation, and the fact that the club would avoid having to pay a transfer price.
Mbappe is reportedly demanding a signing bonus of almost €100 million (£87 million) in addition to an annual salary of €35 million (£30.5 million) after taxes, according to a recent AS report via SportWitness.
