Kylian Mbappe Next Club Odds: Frenchman announces PSG departure at end of 23/24 season
News has dropped that Kylian Mbappe has notified currently employers Paris Saint-Germain that he will be exiting the club this summer.
The 25-year-old's deal with the Ligue 1 champions expires at the end of this term and following the huge stand-off that the Frenchman had with his hometown club last summer, he's decided to part ways in a few months.
Here's how the state of play looks in the betting for Kylian Mbappe's next club:
Real Madrid - 1/6
It had been previously reported that Mbappe had an agreement to join Real Madrid next season on a free transfer but last summer's discussions seemed to infer that PSG would not allow that to happen.
Branded the superstar's 'dream move', it appears as though that deal is coming to fruition after the World Cup winner announced his decision in mid February.
This is the shortest that Real Madrid have been positioned at to secure his coveted signature. If no prior deal has been struck and Madrid are fighting in a free market like the rest of the interested clubs then expect the Spanish giants to act quickly.
Arsenal - 10/1
Quite surprisingly, Arsenal are poised as the next likeliest team in the running in the updated odds market. Mikel Arteta may have perhaps had an influence on this, saying that when a player of that calibre is available then Arsenal have to be involved in the conversation.
He is, however, self-admittedly not involved in any potential discussions, stating that 'Maybe Edu and the owners are, but I am not in those conversations until the last stage.'
Still, this new competitive version of Arsenal is sure to be a big attraction for any player to consider, especially if the chance to play in the Premier League is an option.
Liverpool - 12/1
With no Jurgen Klopp at Anfield next season, The Reds will have to fill the enormous void left by the German. Kylian Mbappe could be that man, and firms have him around the 12/1 mark to join the red revolution.
They'll have to cough up astronomical wages to tempt the Frenchman to Merseyside, so whether the Fenway Sports Group can afford such figures remains the largest question mark.
Any Saudi Pro League Club - 16/1
The market for Kylian Mbappe to join any Saudi Arabian Club is all over the place. Previously as big as 50/1 and then backed into 8/11 after a huge bid was made public, this selection is now out to 16/1 as it looks very unlikely that Mbappe will be tempted to join the riches available to him in the Middle East.
Just to give you an idea of how crazy the figures involved are, the breakdown of his proposed contract did the rounds on social media last summer:
- €700m a year
- €58.33m a month
- €13.3m a week
- €1.9m a day
- €79,900 an hour
- €1,332 a minute
- €22 per second
Others
As many as five clubs were said to have approached the French champions about a potential deal last year. Man Utd and Man City were supposedly two of those mounting serious interest, and are still represented in the betting at 33/1 and 40/1 respectively.
