Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, recently expressed his belief that the club should aim to sign the world's best players, including the highly sought-after Kylian Mbappé. However, Arteta acknowledged that Mbappé appears destined to join Real Madrid. According to ESPN, the French forward has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his intention to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season, with sources indicating that a move to Madrid is likely.
When asked about Arsenal's interest in Mbappé, Arteta stated that 'When there is a player of that calibre we always have to be in the conversation. But as you said, it looks in a different way [that Mbappé is joining Madrid].' However, he clarified that he personally is not involved in those conversations until the final stage, leaving it to the technical director Edu and the club owners.
