Nothing is wrong with Arsenal, they are not just experienced in Champions League according to their coach and the young players in the squad. I am not judging them based on last two matches but the entire season, Arsenal were far better last season than this season because they lost some matches they are supposed to win this season which resulted to their present Premier League position. Nevertheless, Mbappe will be fit in Madrid compared to the remaining teams you mentioned and he will play well there because it is the only team his talent will be noticed and be rewarded with individual trophies and awards.

Selling Mo Salah and buying Kylian Mbappé will be beneficial to all the parties involved. Liverpool will benefit because Saudi clubs are willing to pay a good sum that could help them facilitate the buying the Mbappé. They will also have much younger attacker that will add more vigor to the Liverpool attack. Although they will lose an experienced Legend but Mbappé is one of the best in the world currently.

Salah will also benefit because he would earn more than he has ever gotten in his entire football career. Saudi-based clubs will be willing to pay him close to what Ronaldo and Benzema earn. And he would also enjoy the culture and religious orientation of Saudi Arabia. PSG might be the biggest loser but Mbappé is willing to forgo his £69million loyalty bonus for him to have a smooth transfer out of the club. For Mbappé, Liverpool will give him a better platform to achieve his dreams of winning the Champions League, maybe next season. He would also enjoy the honour to become the biggest player in the most popular league in the world.

Liverpool is now the biggest contender for the signature of the French striker after Real Madrid announced that they have ended their aspiration to get Mbappé. Mbappé also commented that he likes Liverpool because it is his mother's favourite club. I think the English side will be able to fund this transfer if Salah decides to move to the money-spinning Saudi league.

However, this possibility is still just a rumor because in fact Liverpool has not said clearly that they will sell Mohammed Salah to Saudi Arabia because the terms of the sale must reach a joint decision, not just one-sided if Salah doesn't want to go there, if I think about it, it looks like Liverpool will still keep him at least until the season This ended because Salah role is still very important and Liverpool will not necessarily be able to replace Salah with another player if it is possible that Salah will leave transfer market this January, while Mbappe will not necessarily immediately accept the offer.

Of course if Mohammed Salah leaves and is replace by Kylian Mbappe it won't be a big problem for Liverpool but unfortunately there are many clubs who want Mbappe such as Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal so at least Liverpool must reach a definite agreement before taking step to sell Salah because it is feared that the dream of recruiting Mbappe will not come true.

Arsenal trying to be at the top and within two games becoming fourth is silly, that doesn't make sense, how could they suddenly become that bad. I mean this team was going for the title, and then suddenly the yare doing so much worse, just because they lost two games. And not like those games made sense neither, ok West Ham is not terrible, they are like fifth or sixth, but Fulham? They are not even top half, they are terrible compared to Arsenal, Arsenal should have won the game easily, it doesn't make sense at all.

I understand that in football you may lose sometimes, but not like this, not at this moment, and not two times in a row. Arteta has turned this team into a great team that is trying to win a title, but he has taken them from irrelevance to just disappointment, they used to know that they are not going to win the title, but now? Now they think there is a chance they may, up until a certain point in the season, and then they lose the hope.

Liverpool being conceded first in most games and lacking cleansheet make people think that they are not good in performances. maybe it's true, but they are not worse than any other team for sure. That's all it needs to win competition, just being being a bit better than any other team without the need to play beautiful football. Basic rule for being the best is collecting the most points, perhaps Liverpool is doing this.

Consistency is indeed a key factor in maintaining a team's form, and it goes indeed beyond just securing victories against weaker opponents. Winning tough fixtures, especially against direct competitors, is a significant indicator of a team's strength and form. But indicator remains indicator, not an undisputed proof to say things. Being only lost one game with most points collected is an undisputed proof of a team being consistent enough to be a serious contender.

Salah never said to leave from liverpool when he is still having longterm contract in the liverpool. I meant salah is also most contributed players in the clubt and it doesn't even make sense if he will be leaving from there.
I remember that if media has been also confirming this to him but salah had answered that if he is willing to leave from the club when his contract will end. That means his contract shall be running out first.

Liverpool will not let salah to go out. As stated by klopp many times if salah was not for sale. It will be the stupid decision to sell someone who contributed a lot to your team easily.
He has priced so high by saudi pro league club then what's next? He can still make liverpool to win as many trophies as possible. The only key is consistency owned by the club.

I think that's enough for people to said that if salah will leave from the club. It's time to realize that will never happen coz salah just did his best for liverpool.

Talking about Real Madrid been in form, I would agree but Liverpool, not so much. Though they might be at the top of the EPL, their performance is below anything I would like to call a team in form. They aren’t particularly bad I can give them that and they’ve got the top of the table go show for it but, they are not consistent.
Am in form team needs to be consistent, winning games, getting points out of tough fixtures but, I was amazed Liverpool couldn’t manage it and beat Manchester United, didn’t even share points with them. Even though they had the upper hand all game.

@Onyeeze, Liverpool is at the top of the English premier League and also Real Madrid is at the top of the Laliga, so both are in good form. Talking about history and the club with the high possibility of winning the Champions League, it is also Real Madrid.
Going further, Real Madrid is more influential than Liverpool and Real Madrid is regarded as the big boys club. When you also talk about offer and pay, Real Madrid will beat Liverpool to the later. So, there is no chance that Liverpool can beat Real Madrid in a race to buy any player, unless it is the person choice of the player

Liverpool can go ahead to sign Micheal Olise! Lad be buzzing, he's cut in's are damn dangerous and would be a striking force for Liverpool if Mo Salah does leaves completely at the end of the season.

Kylian Mbappe in between obviously no longer wants to spend more years with the League 1 French Champions.

About Liverpool vs Fulham, there's nothing more to say about that game. Liverpool will definitely beat em they're no match to Liverpool currently. Against Chelsea then in the finals, my pick would be Chelsea, they know how to beat Liverpool when it comes to big games kike this.

We can't predict players, currently I don't think Mbappe needs to be famous again in football and if really what he needs is to be famous I don't think that it will still choose real madrid over Liverpool, because currently what that brings the images of a football club is the team functionality and currently Liverpool is topping league and a performing player will like to go for a place that is informed and I believe that what will make Mbappe to choose real madrid over Liverpool should be offer, if the offer of Liverpool is low than real madrid Mbappe may likely go to higher offer, but a situation whereby the offer is of same balance, I think that Mbappe will choose Liverpool because the team is really inform

Now it looks like it's back to a decision from Liverpool.
Last season SPL was even ready to redeem Salah's clause of more than 100 million from Liverpool but indeed they rejected it for the simple reason that the offer given by the SPL club was near the end of the transfer season before it was closed but for now this is still possible to happen.
Now the winter transfer has just opened and if there is a big offer again the situation becomes fifty-fifty I think.

Salah is still very much contributing even this season he seems to have regained his lost form last season but on the other hand with a big offer for Liverpool he could have been let go with because it would be very difficult to find an offer above the value that Salah has today.
But the risk is definitely big if Salah leaves because indirectly with Salah leaving, Liverpool have made their club lose one of the goal-hungry strikers and it must be a little difficult to find a suitable candidate as a patch for Salah who left.

I agree with you. Mbappe seems to join Real Madrid if he decides to leave PSG. We already heard the rumor that Mbappe already got a personal agreement with Real Madrid. So, it seems unlikely to join Arsenal or other teams.

Vlahovic or Osimhen will be more realistic target for Arsenal. But if Juventus can finish this season as the winner, I doubt if Vlahovic will be interested to leave Juventus. Since Napoli is in a very bad situation, I think Osimhen is the most possible striker to sign by Arsenal. Osimhen must feel frustrated to play with Napoli now. It should be better to play in Arsenal, Osimhen must consider the offer made by Arsenal.

Seriously? Klopp has been the FIFA world coach of the year 2019 and 2020, Premier League coach of the year 2020 and 2022 and this list is very long. It goes on for quite some time if you want to read it in full. He won 12 titles, played three Champions League finals with Liverpool and Dortmund, won one of them. He was the last coach who was able to beat Bayern Munich in Germany when he won the Bundesliga two years in a row in 2011 and 2012.

Now I wonder, which important titles has Arteta won?

What's wrong with Arsenal or you judge Arsenal base on their previous performance, if comparing Manchester city, Liverpool, Arsenal and Real Madrid note Real Madrid is the outstanding team among all, so if Mbappe wants to look at quality he will definitely go for Madrid. What make's you think Klopp is better than Arteta, I just want to know the reason why comparing klopp and Arteta or should we say Arteta is not yet an experienced coach or let's say he still don't know what to do for his team. When it comes to mbappe and his choice it's getting tiring so he should just make his choice and I don't think Liverpool is a better team for Mbappe neither Arsenal, even if Arsenal is not willing to buy Mbappe the team really need a striker this January and if Arteta and his team feels reluctant towards this matter they might not win any title this season.

I think it will be difficult for Arsenal to bring in Mbappe, because there will be many influencing factors.
If that happens then Arsenal will become PSG volume 2, because Mbappe will definitely be the only star there.
So far Arsenal are targeting Vlahovic, but he still has an unexpired contract. On the other hand, Juventus also needs large funds. Maybe it could be a win win solution for both teams.

I mean if Liverpool and Real Madrid both go for Mbappe at the same time I guess Mbappe's choice would be Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid are much more of a winner team in the Champions League which must be Mbappe's biggest target also.    Maybe there is a star like Bellingham also there but I don't think there would be any problem about playing together.

However it is very early to talk about this possible transfer anyway. Mbappe also stated that he would like to take his time to think about his options.

Liverpool can surely find another replacement for Salah even if they don't sign Mbappe. 

 The possibility of Salah being sold is very high compared to them keeping him. That’s another reason I think the rumor of Kylian to England is up and trending, however I'm being doubtful if Kylian's move to Liverpool would be a reality by summer, but considering the funds they'll receive from the Saudi side I don't think finance would be an issue for them getting him when Salah leaves.

 Yes, they’ll be loosing their goal poacher but with Kylian, I think Salah’s departure wouldn’t much be felt and that’s one credit. Salah might not be interested yet but I think winning the league title will be a perfect sign out for him especially once the fee from the Saudi club is increased. Salah is still fit but I feel it’s pretty better to leave when the ovations are loudest than bowing out with a bad season.

But tell me one good reason why Mbappe should decide to go to Arsenal? Arsenal is not a prestigious club like Real Madrid, Manchester City or even Liverpool although Liverpool isn't quite on that level I think. But it is close to that level and Mbappe could bring in all his best effort to make history with the club. I don't think he would find the same conditions and prospects if he decided to join Arsenal. Arteta isn't like Klopp. Mbappe needs a world star coach.

Everything you said is true, but you are forgetting a few important details to get a full picture of what is going on. Mo Salah will get an offer from Saudi Arabia that exceeds everything he has ever seen on a contract paper in his life. The same will be written down in the offer that some Saudi club will send to Liverpool. Salah's contract will soon expire. Then both parties have to make a choice. Liverpool might try to raise his salary or pay the same as he has been earning in recent years. That means they will keep him if they can, but he is now getting older and isn't really the future. However, they could also make 200 million or something if they sell him, which is quite a bit of money. Then again, Salah will either want to sign a well paid long term contract with Liverpool or he will go to Saudi Arabia and become one of the richest people in soccer. This is not as easy as you put it. Like "Klopp needs him". Sure he needs him, but money is important and age is important, too. Add the rumor to this mix that Liverpool has an eye on what Mbappe is doing. I am curious to see where this is going.

Mo Salah contribution is still very consistent at the highest level, he deserves a place in Liverpool's front line as long as he is still able to provide his best performance. High salary offers from Arab clubs have succeeded in bringing top players to the Arab League, Mo Salah is still the target of one of the Arab clubs who want to bring him from Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp still needs Salah on Liverpool's front line, he still really needs Salah in his squad to win the hunt for the EPL and Europa League trophies.
Speculation about Mo Salah is normal when the transfer market opens, I think Mo Salah is still committed to Liverpool.
