When Kylian Mbappe, a 25-year-old striker, says he might be leaving Paris Saint-Germain, it gives Arsenal and Chelsea a big boost in their chase of the player. Mbappe’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is up at the end of the season. This means that Premier League clubs can talk to the French player about signing a new deal before the end of the season.

As January’s transfer window gets closer, PSG has to decide whether to sell Mbappe before the end of the month or risk losing him for free. England’s Arsenal and Chelsea are among the teams that have shown interest in him because his future is uncertain. In the race to sign Mbappe, Real Madrid is also a strong rival.

Reports earlier suggested that an agreement had been reached with Real Madrid. However, Mbappe’s representatives quickly denied any such deal, stressing that their client was giving it a lot of thought before making a choice.

Mbappe hinted at leaving PSG in a recent interview with GQ Magazine, but he didn’t say where he was going. He said, “Many great players who have shaped the history of football have left Europe this summer, and we are entering a new era.”

It’s just how this sport works, and at some point, it will be my turn to leave. Changes like these don’t bother me. “All I want to do is keep working at my job and go my own way.”
