Declan Rice deal is said to be completed for €123m in total for Arsenal. This is a really huge amount and they had better hope he will be worth this deal. Because they have seemed really desperate to complete this signing for themselves. They even increased their offer a lot more after Manchester City's being interested in Rice also.
I heard it like €105m at first but it looks like the whole package is even bigger than that. After this huge deal I wouldn't expect Arsenal to pay a similar amount for another player in the same transfer window. They continue to make the team even younger by Xhaka's departure on one hand. Let's see how this will affect the team in the long term.
Declan Rice may not be worth that price to any other club, but to Arsenal he is worth it. He is a solid and fit player that can maintain and improve in performance season long and exactly what we need going to next season where the competition will be tougher.
Now waiting for Mbappe's decision in a few weeks whether he will extend or not, but obviously the closest rumor is that Real Madrid is ready to pay a high price as a release from PSG which will be sold this season, obviously I'm still very curious about Mbappe's feelings now for decided, would he sign the contract again?
Yes, in the end it is only speculation and cannot give certainty about Mbappe's real future, whatever they say I will only believe that in the end Real Madrid is the club that Mbappe will choose.
Mbappe has also made it known that Arsenal will be his preferred destination if he decides to move to the premier league but he is very expensive and that may be the reason that this deal will not materialize.
Arsenal would be Mbappe’s preferred destination should he decide on a Premier League move, having been impressed with Mikel Arteta’s project at the Emirates.
Arsenal’s strong French connections from the Arsene Wenger era also make the Gunners an attractive destination
