Rio Ferdinand has said that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal or Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will not be able to sign Kylian Mbappe.
The former Manchester United defender has said on his YouTube channel that neither Arsenal nor the Red Devils are in a position to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
Football Transfers reported last week that Arsenal are planning to make a move for the 24-year-old France international forward in the summer of 2024.
Mbappe will become a free agent at the end of next season when his current contract with the French champions runs out.
Ferdinand told Joel Beya about Mbappe, as transcribed by TBR: “I don’t think he’s even gettable (for Manchester United) at the price they’re talking about for him.”
When asked about the Arsenal links, Ferdinand said: “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!”
Could Arsenal sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe?
In our opinion, Arsenal are unlikely to be able to sign Kylian Mbappe now or next summer.
It is simply not feasible.
Yes, we know that Arsenal are a big club and a global brand, and under manager Mikel Arteta, they are going places.
However, PSG are very unlikely to sell Mbappe this summer.
After all, the Frenchman is their most prized asset.
And even if the Ligue 1 champions do decide to sell him, they are probably going to ask for a world-record transfer. fee.
Let us not forget that Real Madrid are also keen on Mbappe.
Madrid have been trying to sign the forward for a while now.
And the Frenchman himself has said that he would love to play for Los Blancos.
As a potential free agent next summer, the 24-year-old will surely choose Madrid over any other club.
Oh, Mbappe’s wages are astronomical as well.
Would Arsenal really pay just one player £893,000 per week (The Sun)?
