Kylian Mbappe looks set to go away Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, ending a long-running saga over his future at the French club.
Mbappe has informed PSG of his intention to go away the club at the end of his contract, which expires at the end of June, having given up the option to increase his contract by one yr.
The 25-year-old is one in all the best players in the world and will likely have many suitors for his signature.
Real Madrid are the clear favorites to secure the France striker, but will face competition from several other top clubs.
What options is perhaps available for Mbappe as a free agent? Here are some clubs which will show interest.
real Madrid
Real Madrid have long coveted Mbappe, wanting to bring the next generation of galaxies to the Spanish capital. Jude Bellingham has been in Carlo Ancelotti’s team since his summer transfer from Borussia Dortmund, and the club can be keen to bring Mbappe to him, having narrowly missed out on securing his signature in 2022.
Liverpool
Liverpool, one other long-time admirer of Mbappe, have been linked with the Frenchman since his breakout season in Monaco as a young person. The summer at Anfield can be filled with changes with Jurgen Klopp leaving the club and the financial demands may prove difficult to beat, but the club will definitely enter into talks if there may be even a slim probability of reaching an agreement.
Manchester
It can be an out of doors bet, but any club with the financial clout of the quadruple winners should be mentioned as a contender for Mbappe’s signature. Could they pair him with Erling Haaland, thus combining two of the best strikers in the world? It seems unlikely, but Manchester City have tried daring deals in the past.
Arsenal
Another club which will have financial problems to draw Mbappe, Arsenal have nonetheless been linked. However, manager Mikel Arteta has suggested that the Frenchman appears able to move elsewhere. “When a player of his caliber comes along, we always have to be part of the conversation, but it’s different,” Arteta suggested.
Club from Saudi Arabia
Al-Hilal made a record £259m bid for Mbappe last summer, which the player rejected, but the Saudi Pro League stays well-funded from the Public Investment Fund and will definitely not less than make a proposal. Mbappe seems unlikely to offer up European football, but many other top players have been tempted to go to the Middle East.
