TOP STORY: Chelsea interested in PSG’s Mbappe

Chelsea are exploring a move to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian MbappeRMC Sport.

The Blues are reported to be one of two sides in the Premier League interested in the 24-year-old’s signature, though they are yet to make an official approach for him. But a move could be difficult amid growing interest from Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal are willing to make PSG an offer worth €200 million ($222m) to sign him, while they are also looking to tempt the France international to the Saudi Pro League by proposing a two-year contract worth a total of €400m ($445m).

Uncertainty is continuing to surround Mbappe’s future at the Parc des Princes, with ESPN sources told that he might never play for the Ligue 1 champions again. Mbappe was excluded from the club’s preseason squad that is set to travel to Japan on Saturday, and amid belief that he could leave to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi might now be looking to move him on if an agreement can’t be reached over a new contract.
