Asked about the future of Kylian Mbappé, Mikel Arteta indulged in responding that a club like Arsenal should be able to target players of the Bondynois’ caliber. Even if he recognizes that it promises to be complicated.
Kylian Mbappé has announced his departure to Paris Saint-Germain, but he has not yet said where he is going. Everything suggests that the Bondynois will join Real Madrid, but the Premier League could be an option for him. In addition to Liverpool, or even Chelsea, Arsenal could offer themselves to the captain of the France team.
“When a player of this caliber is on the market, we always have to be in the discussion”replied Mikel Arteta this Friday at a press conference, to a question about the future of Mbappé. “But like you said, it looks like things are different.”he added.
Asked by journalists whether Arsenal was in concrete contact with Mbappé and his entourage, the Spanish manager was categorical. ” Not me ! Maybe Edu (the Gunners sporting director, editor’s note) and the owners are, but I’m only in these conversations during the last stages (in transfers, editor’s note) “explained the former PSG midfielder.
“Everyone wants to play for Arsenal”
Generally speaking, Arteta wants to show Arsenal’s ambition. After having succeeded in turning the London club into a Champions League team, and even a candidate for the Premier League title, the Spanish coach believes that the Gunners must be in the running to recruit world stars.
” Exactly. Why not ? If we want to be the best team, we’re going to need the best talent and the best players, that’s for sure. (…) The club is not a problem. Everyone wants to play for Arsenal, assures Arteta. At least the players we are in contact with, they always have that smile on their face when we open the door and the discussions start. It’s because of our history and everything we’ve done in the past. » What should Mbappé be interested in?
