Kylian Mbappe has claimed it was “a difficult decision” to stay at Paris Saint-Germain in 2022.

The 25-year-old was expected to leave for Real Madrid two years ago.

But in a dramatic twist, he stayed with PSG and even signed a new contract.

However, Mbappe has now played his last game for the Ligue 1 champions and will leave as a free agent this summer.

On his decision to stay with PSG in 2022, Mbappe told CNN: “It was more than just staying at PSG. It was the World Cup in Qatar.

“There were many things around these things. It was a big decision, a difficult decision… but I don’t regret anything.

“It was not an easy situation and I wish nobody that.”

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, is keen on signing John Stones or Ezri Konsa, following news that William Saliba will be out for an extended period.

Saliba has opted not to have surgery after injuring his back while playing for France at the 2026 World Cup.

But the 25-year-old defender is facing a lengthy period of rehabilitation.

Stones is available as a free agent, after he left Manchester City at the end of his contract.

The 32-year-old worked with Arteta during his time as assistant to Pep Guardiola at City.

Konsa, who represented England alongside Stones at the World Cup, has two years left on his contract at Aston Villa.

Both players can also operate at right-back.

Joshua sets targets for Fury ahead of return

British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua has begun preparing for a fight with Tyson Fury by training with a specially made heavy bag replica of the Gypsy King, ahead of both men’s tune-up bouts this weekend.

Joshua and Fury have signed contracts to finally settle a decade’s worth of debate over a domestic showdown, but must first come through separate warm-up assignments, with Joshua facing Kristian Prenga on Saturday in Jeddah and Fury taking on 46-year-old veteran Mariusz Wach in Thailand.

Joshua’s first-ever boxing coach, Sean Murphy, unveiled the bespoke bag and told DAZN it had been designed specifically to resemble Fury, describing it as reproducing the Gypsy King’s chin for practice purposes.

Murphy said Joshua had provided all the bags currently hanging in the gym and had personally funded other refurbishments at the facility, including new ring covers and an overhaul of the female changing room.

Joshua, aged 36, has vowed never to overlook an opponent again after being stunned by Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 while he had one eye on a prospective fight with Deontay Wilder, though with his Fury deal now signed, he is being careful not to look past Prenga.

The Saturday bout will be Joshua’s first contest since a car accident claimed the lives of two of his close friends, and comes ten days after he stopped Jake Paul in a heavily anticipated crossover fight.

Joshua is expected to dedicate victory over Prenga to his late friends as he continues plotting a route towards the long-awaited Battle of Britain with Fury, aged 37.
