Kylian Mbappe has been in the news often these days. His move away from PSG has been in the headlines every year, with Real Madrid being the destination. While many fans are frustrated by how long his transfer saga is taking, many reports have suggested that he has now added London as a possible destination.

According to The Sun, “Mbappe is willing to join North London side Arsenal”. His idol, Thierry Henry, is an Arsenal legend and it looks like Mbappe could follow Henry’s footsteps. The club also requires a striker as of now, with the club having a problem scoring goals.

Unfortunately, Arsenal is not willing to sign the PSG forward. The Telegraph has stated that Mbappe had looked at Liverpool as a viable destination in the past, but the club has informed his camp the move can’t happen. The Reds are not ready to break their wage structure to sign him, and the Gunners are also in the same boat.

As of now, the most likely move would be to Real Madrid. The higher-ups at Paris Saint Germain believe he will be leaving for the Spain capital, but the club is annoyed at how long he is taking to make a decision.

Kylian Mbappe ready to join Real Madrid, but camp not convinced

Kylian Mbappe has always been a Real Madrid fan, dreaming of joining the club since he was a child. In 2022, Madrid finally made a move for the French superstar, but he rejected their offer and instead signed a contract extension with PSG.

Two years later, as his contract with PSG comes to an end, he has not yet decided where to go. The 25-year-old is leaning towards a move to Real Madrid, but his entourage is not impressed with the club. Mbappe currently is on €75 million a year, which PSG is ready to extend on a short or long-term basis. He already has offers from PSG and Real Madrid lined up, but both teams are not happy with the amount of time he is taking.

Mbappe is currently preparing for the Champions League round of 16, with the French side set to face Real Sociedad. So far Mbappe has scored three goals in six Champions League matches, aiming to increase his record.
