Arsenal is counting its money in case Kylian Mbappé decides to really leave PSG and discussions with Real become tense. The idea of ​​sending several players to Paris is emerging.

The prospect of seeing Kylian Mbappé choose Arsenal in the event of a departure to the Premier League had the effect of a bomb in North London. The Gunners came very close to the title last season and they can now again attract important players, with the aim of finally recovering the Premier League 20 years after their last coronation, or of shining in a Champions League which they have never won. But attracting a player like Kylian Mbappé remains a dream. However, if ever the case of the PSG striker were to take an incredible turn with a departure from the Parisian club and difficult negotiations with Real Madrid, Arsenal can think of ways to pocket the jackpot.

Financially, the transfer would be incredibly expensive for the resident of the Emirates Stadium, and a good way to lower the price would be to send players to PSG at the same time. The Daily Express claim that Arsenal have plenty of ideas to satisfy the French champions, even if there are only three players who could fit the bill. First up is an attacking player who is also a Brazilian international: Gabriel Martinelli. With his speed and room for improvement, he can replace Kylian Mbappé, who just scored 15 goals last season in the Premier League. And the 22-year-old Brazilian will not be retained by Arsenal, who are betting on Emile Smith Rowe to replace him in the future. Another fashionable offensive player: Folarin Balogun, who has just broken out in Ligue 1 near Reims. A year after Hugo Ekitike, making a new effort to recruit a player from the Champagne club might seem surprising, but the English surface fox, now an American international, also jumps that it will be difficult for him to win at Arsenal with the presence of Gabriel. Jesus. Suffice to say that his arrival at PSG could suit everyone.

Arsenal ready to do anything for Mbappé?

In another role, there is a player who has interested Paris for a very long time: Martin Odegaard. The former Norwegian ‘wonderkid’ has taken off after his mixed spell at Real Madrid and is now the technical leader of Mikel Arteta’s squad. Such an artist in the midfield is clearly the envy of PSG, who know, however, that Odegaard is considered unsaleable by their leaders. To the point of frustrating a possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé? For the moment, the question does not arise, especially since Nasser Al-Khelaïfi wants, for the image, to make a record sale if ever his number 7 were to leave Paris. And that doesn’t really sit well with the idea of ​​player exchanges, however talented and prestigious they may be.
