Arsenal legend Robert Pires has shared his thoughts on Kylian Mbappe’s future, suggesting that the PSG star should contemplate a move to the Premier League, but not necessarily to Arsenal.
It’s widely known in football circles that Mbappe is destined for Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants have been pursuing the French sensation for years, and this summer seems poised to finally fulfill his long-held dream, two years after opting to stay with PSG at the last minute.
While the official signing of the contract is pending, all indications point to Mbappe’s imminent transfer to the Spanish capital.
The forward has reportedly informed his PSG teammates of his plans to leave, resulting in reduced playing time under manager Luis Enrique. Mbappe’s frustration was evident when he was substituted during the derby against Olympique Marseille, further straining relations between him and Enrique.
With his sights set on leaving Parc des Princes, fellow Frenchman Robert Pires has offered intriguing advice on his potential move.
In an interview with French outlet Media Carre, Pires deviated from the expected narrative by suggesting that Mbappe should reject Real Madrid, as he once did, and consider joining Liverpool instead of Arsenal.
Pires humorously referred to his own decision to turn down Real Madrid, emphasizing that he had other options in Arsenal and Juventus.
He envisioned Mbappe thriving at Liverpool, highlighting the club’s esteemed status, supportive atmosphere, and passionate yet understanding fanbase.
Pires speculated on the potential dynamism of a partnership between Mbappe and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, underscoring Mbappe’s ability to resist Real Madrid’s advances.
Liverpool has long admired Mbappe, with Jurgen Klopp even personally meeting the prodigy during past transfer pursuits.
Recent rumors have suggested Liverpool’s continued interest in Mbappe, although Klopp’s departure has dampened realistic hopes of securing the 25-year-old’s signature.
