Arsenal have been internally discussing a potential move for Kylian Mbappe from Real Madrid next summer. However, the club acknowledges that such a transfer remains an extremely challenging scenario and is currently just an idea rather than a concrete deal.
The Gunners are weighing up the possibility of persuading the French forward to choose Arsenal if his situation at Madrid does not progress as expected.
Arsenal understand the complexities of the deal
Mbappe is still regarded as one of the most high-profile players in world football, which means Arsenal is fully aware of the scale of the potential operation.
Inside the club, the idea of the Frenchman making the switch next summer has been mooted, yet it is emphasised that the likelihood of this scenario happening is currently low.
There are no agreements between the parties, and there has been no indication of negotiations being formally underway.
Champions League project as a selling point
One avenue Arsenal might pursue is to highlight the club's sporting project and its participation in the Champions League.
If Mbappe's situation at Real changes, Arsenal are hopeful they can leverage the ambition of the team and the prospects for the development of the project to attract the player.
Additionally, there is a special connection between Mbappe and Arsenal through Thierry Henry—the club's legendary forward who Mbappe has often cited as his idol.
