Arsenal is among the clubs linked with a potential move for Kylian Mbappe, who is yet to finalise his future. The French forward is in the final stretch of his contract with PSG and appears keen on securing a new destination.
Real Madrid stands as the front-runner to secure Mbappe’s services, given their previous close pursuits. However, PSG is making efforts to retain him, and reports suggest that Madrid’s offer might be less lucrative in terms of salary, creating an opportunity for other clubs to express interest, including Arsenal.
As the Gunners are dedicated to enhancing their squad and in need of a new striker, the potential addition of Mbappe could be a game-changer for Mikel Arteta’s team. However, pundit Ally McCoist expresses concern, suggesting that signing Mbappe could be a fatal mistake. McCoist argues that Mbappe’s potential demands for a significant salary could disrupt Arsenal’s wage structure and unsettle other players within the team.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“No chance because not only would you break it, you’d have to obliterate it and destroy it and once that happens there’s knocks on the door, saying well he’s on this, I’m only on a quarter of that and have scored this many goals.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mbappe is one of the world’s best players, and the financial implication for us to sign him will be too much.

This is a weird one.
On one hand I am certain Mbappe wants to leave PSG.
On other hand, no non-oil-backed club will match his wages, not even Real. I think the Spanish teams have learned from their frivolous salary mistakes they had with Messi, Hazard and Co.
Who’s left? No PL clubs are going to offer him more than what KDB or Haland are paid. Not us, not Liverpool. Chelsea and United are out of question obviously.
So unless he wants to stay at PSG, he HAS to lower his demands.
VERY PLAINLY UNDEED AND ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF REASONS OF LACK OF AFFORDABILITY, we will not make any attempt to land Mbappe.
Correctly too, exactly as JA Opinion says!
Talking about world class players it doesn’t really bigger than the French international, the problem is the lad has baggage.
His pay package will no doubt takes the lion shares of our wage bill, the big question is does the juice worth the squeeze?
A giant sized no!
He has made a ginormous rod for his own back. He is a powerful individual and too powerful for his own good at such a tender age .. or any age come to that
It has already been written that there isn’t a club that can easily match his salary without blowing its own wage structure out of the window.
Not going to happen. But selling him on would recoup a season’s wages. Also, shirt sales would recoup another season’s wages. I think our players realize his uniqueness and wouldn’t be knocking on the manager’s door unless he is an absolute failure! Worth the gamble
I won’t buy Mbappe n destroy the dressing room Harmony n destroy the wage structure n I rate Osimhen or Toney a better fit for us !
I fully understand why we bought David Raya as we were going to lose Matt Turner for £10 million n instead of getting a 2nd rate replacement for £20 million we deprived Chelsea / Man Utd / Brighton of getting a top class goalie . I have a solution to the Ramsdale problem . If he still rated 2nd choice give him an extended run in the remaining Cup Competitions for this year n next year ! This will allow him to keep his England place ! What do u guys think ?
The only cup we are in this season is the CL
Of course, Ramsdale is a good goalkeeper but is classed as number two by Arteta and I doubt he will get a chance now we are at the knockout stages unless an injury happens to Raya.
Next season is a different matter. Ramsdale may not be at Arsenal next season in any case. If he is, then the Carabao Cup or the less risky games in the CL (assuming we are in it) is a route taken by managers to give match practice
Patrick, that suiggestion is unrealistic as we are out of boith domestic cup comps now and , anyway a player of RAMSDALES UNDOUTED TOP CLASS will not be swayed by such a feeble offer, , even were it on offer which it is not.
No player is EVER guaranteed any place and that is how it is and always must be. RAMSDALE HAS BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY and will be on his way elsewhere this summer. I can practically GUARANTEE that, though with deep sadness and regret on my part.
As for Mbappe, as seemingly all – bar but an occasional odd juvenile fantasist- know only too well, the Mbappe reports are sheer silliness and WONT happen. Not in a month of SUNDAYS!
