Mbappe’s ‘Preferred’ Premier League Club Revealed, And It’s Not Liverpool

In a stunning turn of events, Kylian Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he will not be extending his contract, leading to speculations about his future destination.

Infoexpert24 understands that while Real Madrid is widely seen as the frontrunner for the French superstar’s signature, it has been revealed that his preferred Premier League club is none other than Arsenal.

Mbappe’s decision to part ways with PSG comes after six successful years with the French club, having made the switch from Monaco for a staggering fee of €180 million (£153.5m).

This development follows Lionel Messi’s departure to Inter Miami, as PSG’s formidable attacking trio undergoes a major reshuffling, with Neymar also linked with a potential summer exit.

The news has left PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi “shocked and disappointed,” as the club is now eager to sell Mbappe this summer in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer when his contract expires next season.

While Real Madrid remains the frontrunner for Mbappe’s signature, the Spanish giants are reluctant to spend any money after announcing the completion of their summer business. The recent signing of Joselu from Espanyol provides temporary cover for Karim Benzema, with Real Madrid planning to go all-in for Mbappe next summer.

However, PSG is determined to recoup a significant portion of the hefty sum they spent on the World Cup winner, although this could prove challenging given his exorbitant price tag.

Despite Mbappe’s personal preference for a move to the Bernabeu, a report from The Independent suggests that Arsenal would be his “first preference” if he were to make a move to the Premier League. The report highlights that Mbappe appreciates the progress of Mikel Arteta’s team and relishes the challenge of bringing the title back to the club.

However, it is widely acknowledged that Mbappe is beyond Arsenal’s financial reach, particularly in light of the imminent arrival of Declan Rice, a signing that will cost the Gunners £105 million, on top of the £62 million already spent on Kai Havertz.

In response to the rumors, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand delivered a candid assessment, dismissing the possibility of Mbappe joining Arsenal. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ferdinand also expressed skepticism about the Frenchman’s potential move to Old Trafford.

“I don’t think he’s even gettable (for Manchester United) at the price they’re talking about for him,” said Ferdinand. He further added, “You man can’t get him either! Arsenal can’t get him either. Don’t even start thinking and dreaming. It’s a good dream.”

The future of Kylian Mbappe remains uncertain, with Real Madrid appearing as the most likely destination.

However, the revelation of Arsenal as his preferred Premier League club adds an intriguing twist to the ongoing transfer saga.

Only time will tell where the French sensation will ultimately end up, but his potential arrival at Arsenal would undoubtedly be a game-changer for the Gunners and the Premier League as a whole.
