The financial windfall positions Arsenal favorably as they approach the January transfer window, with potential plans to strengthen their squad. Notably, reports from Record (via Football365) suggest that both Arsenal and Premier League rivals Liverpool are exploring the prospects of luring PSG’s Kylian Mbappe to the Premier League.
Mbappe, currently in the final year of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. While Real Madrid has been widely tipped as his next destination, Arsenal and Liverpool have reportedly entered the race.
According to the Record report, Mbappe has expressed admiration for Liverpool from a distance, making a move to Anfield more likely than a transfer to Arsenal. As the financial landscape evolves and clubs seek to bolster their squads, Arsenal’s Champions League earnings could play a pivotal role in their pursuit of top-tier talent in the upcoming transfer window.
