The consensus is that Mbappé is set to move to Real Madrid after his contract with PSG ends, yet until a deal is officially signed, rumors about his next destination persist.

Several Premier League teams have been keen on diverting the player’s path to England, rather than to his anticipated move to Real Madrid.

In an attempt to join the fray, Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, hinted in February at the possibility of the Premier League club making a move for the highly sought-after forward.

Arteta remarked: “We always have to be in the conversation when a player of his stature is available.” Despite this, any slim hopes quickly dissipated.

The notion that Arsenal might secure Mbappé seemed far-fetched from the outset, which was humorously highlighted when a fan questioned if he would consider Arsenal. Mbappé laughed off the suggestion, saying, “There’s no way.” His light-hearted excuse? “It’s too cold there.”
