Can anyone imagine Kylian Mbappe playing at Chelsea? As crazy as it sounds for a club languishing midtable in the Premier League, if there is anyone who has the ability to pull such a deal off, it has to be Todd Boehly.
Does Mbappe need any introduction? An off-field contest is heating up between Chelsea and Liverpool, both aiming to secure the signature of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star, Kylian Mbappe.
Back in July, PSG’s Nasser Al-Khelaifi set a stern ultimatum for Mbappe, granting him a fortnight to pen a new deal. However, as the days rolled into months, the French international has neither committed his future to the Parisians nor found himself on the transfer list.
The scenario unfolds a golden opportunity for foreign clubs, now eligible to engage in pre-contract talks with Mbappe for a summer free transfer, come January 1, unless a new deal with PSG materializes.
Amidst this backdrop, Chelsea and Liverpool are sharpening their quills, ready to table what has been dubbed as ‘extremely important contracts’ to lure the football prodigy away from the French capital.
According to Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, as quoted by French outlet Le 10 Sport (h/t Football. London), the Premier League duo is keen on trying their luck this winter.
For Chelsea, this is not just a chase for a top-tier player, but a strategic move that could significantly bolster their attacking options. Mbappe, with his agility, goal-scoring prowess, and ability to perform under pressure, fits the bill of a quintessential forward who could seamlessly blend into Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
Moreover, securing Kylian Mbappe could be a statement of intent from Chelsea, showcasing their ambition to not only remain competitive in the English top flight but to also make a mark in European football, if they qualify for it.
However, it is highly unlikely that either Premier League team sign the talented forward who seems destined for a move to Real Madrid. Don’t count out a late twist in the saga that might end up seeing him stay at PSG next season as well. It’s not the time to get our hopes up on this.
