Chelsea ‘exploring’ Mbappe transfer as Pochettino faces losing three deals
Chelsea are reportedly ‘exploring’ the possibility of signing Kylian Mbappe this summer to hand Mauricio Pochettino a marquee signing in his first summer window. Reports in France claim that the Blues have a strong interest in Mbappe, whose future with Paris Saint-Germain seems bleak.
The 24-year-old star is supposedly keen to leave on a free transfer next summer when his contract with the Parisians expires. However, PSG want to recoup at least some of the near-£140million they paid for the Frenchman in 2017.
Mbappe is now engaged in a bitter stand-off with his club over his future. PSG have refused to name him in their squad for their upcoming pre-season tour.
Real Madrid have been strongly linked with a transfer for the attacker, but wide-ranging reports claim that the Spanish giants would rather wait to seal a free transfer agreement in 12 months’ time.
It is now claimed that Chelsea are prepared to hijack that move, with at least one other Premier League club interested in signing Mbappe. According to French publication RMC Sport, the Blues are ‘interested’ in Mbappe and are ‘exploring the feasibility’ of signing the 2018 World Cup winner.
