Report: PSG have 90% chance of landing £125m Arsenal, Real Madrid target
Speaking on the El Chiringuito show, journalist Josep Pedrerol claims that the young prodigy has a “90% chance” of joining the Ligue 1 Champions, condemning Real Madrid, whose president met with M’Bappe and his father recently.
He is also liked by PSG, Manchester United and Arsenal.
“I have been told today [by a source] from Real Madrid that they believed their chances of signing M’Bappe were almost non-existent. He has a 90% chance of joining PSG”.
Recent reports indicate that Arsenal were giving up on the chase, however, despite being rumoured to be preparing an £125 million offer. This may have something to do with their decision to pursue Thomas Lemar instead.
M’Bappe has been sieged by some of Europe’s best sides after exploding onto the Champions League scene, scoring in every game (four in a row, a new record) as Monaco knocked out Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund.
The 18-year-old scored 26 goals and made eight assists, and met with PSG recently with his father, who doubles as his agent. They were noncommittal, it was reported, as Antero Henrique and Nasser Al Khelaifi said they were going to do their utmost to sign M’Bappe.
