Kylian Mbappé has openly voiced his dissatisfaction after learning that one of his France teammates is on the verge of joining Arsenal. The Paris Saint-Germain forward shared his disappointment during a press conference, revealing that the same Arsenal that recently knocked PSG out of the Champions League is the club his compatriot has chosen to join.
Mbappé did not attempt to conceal his emotions as he addressed the media. He stated that he was “seriously not happy” with the player, expressing frustration that a teammate would move to a club that had recently mocked him and his team after a painful Champions League exit.
While Mbappé avoided naming the player, insiders within the French national camp have confirmed that it is an £80 million-rated teammate who is set for a high-profile switch to Arsenal during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The revelation has sparked intense discussions among football fans and analysts, especially given the context of Arsenal’s dramatic victory over PSG in the Champions League. The timing of the move has only added to the controversy surrounding it.
Mbappé’s comments reflect deeper tensions, not only on a personal level but also between PSG and Arsenal, two clubs whose rivalry has been escalating. Arsenal’s ability to attract top French talent under Mikel Arteta is being viewed as a clear signal of their growing ambitions.
In his remarks, Mbappé acknowledged that while players must prioritize their careers, factors such as loyalty and timing should also be considered. His words suggest a feeling of betrayal within the French squad caused by this impending transfer.
Speculation about the identity of the player continues to swirl, with several prominent French internationals being linked to the move. Names such as Randal Kolo Muani, Youssouf Fofana, and even a surprising return for William Saliba have been suggested.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it is evident that the atmosphere within the French national team has become more strained, while Arsenal’s aggressive recruitment strategy could have major implications across the European football scene.
