ARSENAL COULD HAVE GOT KYLIAN MBAPPE TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND POUNDS.

In the year 2016, when the young French striker Kylian Mbappe was playing for Monaco, then the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wanted to buy him from Monaco for a sum of two hundred thirty thousand pounds only. Arsene Wenger always likes to buy young footballers cheap and sell them for a very big profit, and he spots real good young talent. Here he went all the way to Kylian Mbappe'S house n France and tried very hard to convince him to join u at Arsenal. But he was at the end of his contract and he wanted to stay on at Monaco , it was a very, very close thing. And the rest is History. But let us look at the agreement made between Monaco and Real Madrid. Real Madrid are paying 161, one hundred and sixty one million pounds for the same footballer. In other words Real Madrid are paying 700, seven hundred times more money then what Arsenal were willing to pay last year.
