Chelsea have been linked with a move for 24-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, a target for Real Madrid.
According to a report from The Times, Chelsea are expected to make their move for 24-year-old French international forward Kylian Mbappe. The PSG talisman might depart from Parc des Princes in the summer transfer window and who is on Real Madrid’s radar as well.
It is no secret that Chelsea need to bring in attacking reinforcements, and Mbappe would transform them in the final third. The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from PSG this summer. But it remains to be seen where he ends up. He is likely to cost a massive sum of money, although Chelsea certainly have the resources to get the deal done.
They have spent around €600 million on new signings since the change of ownership and will be looking to sign the 2018 World Cup winner as well. Mbappe has been in phenomenal form this season, scoring 41 goals across all competitions.
On the other hand, Chelsea have struggled to score goals this season and the Frenchman could fix that problem for them. The 24-year-old is versatile enough to play anywhere across the front three, and he could be an asset for Mauricio Pochettino next season.
A signing like Kylian Mbappe would galvanise the whole squad and lift the spirits around the club. He could also sort out Chelsea’s attacking department for the foreseeable future. There is no doubt that the 24-year-old is already a world-class player and is likely to improve further with coaching and experience.
Mbappe is destined to be the next superstar in the game, and Chelsea will do well to secure his services. Meanwhile, the player has been linked with Real Madrid for months. But it remains to be seen whether the Spanish giants are prepared to provide him with an exit route this summer.
Real Madrid have already spent big money on Jude Bellingham this summer, and it remains to be seen how the situation regarding Mbappe unfolds.

The PSG star is likely to be tempted to join a club like Real Madrid if he leaves France. Chelsea cannot offer him Champions League football and that could be a major roadblock in any potential transfer. A player of his calibre will want to compete at the highest level and Chelsea might not be at that level yet.
