The French ace, 18, is one of
the hottest properties in Europe after an incredible campaign
But Arsene Wenger and Gunners chief Ivan Gazidis were spotted in
Nice, just 13 miles from Monaco, on Monday.
And Manchester United – fresh from qualifying for next
season’s Champions League – are also in the race, although they fear
he has already set his heart on Madrid.
The teenager is a huge fan of Real boss and fellow Frenchman
Zinedine Zidane, putting them in a strong position.
And they can also offer the prospect of playing with childhood
hero Cristiano Ronaldo.
But the youngster is also intent on continuing his progress and
he is likely to be used sparingly in the Spanish capital with Ron, Karim
Benzema and Gareth Bale ahead of him.
Mbappe’s dad is the man in charge of his son’s
professional future and he is now courting bids from all over Europe from his
son who is destined to become the world’s most expensive player aged just 18.
Wenger revealed in March: “Well, I approached him last year
because I really believe that he has an exceptional future ahead of him, that
he has all the qualities.
“He reminds me of a young Thierry Henry with the same clever
look about him, the same qualities of intelligence in his movements and
cat-like finishing. So that’s why.
“I think he’s an exceptional talent who promises to have a great
future.”
“The player would tell you that I was at his home last year to
try to get him here.
“Because he was at the end of his contract but Monaco managed to
keep him and the decision was very, very tight.
“But I could understand it as well because he was educated there
and at the end decided to stay there.”
Arsenal have reportedly already bid £87m for Kylian Mbappe
