Chelsea finds itself in a position to potentially submit a bid for the prolific striker Kylian Mbappe, as a surprising turn of events unfolds in the transfer market.
As reported by the Telegraph, Al-Hilal has taken the initiative to kickstart an auction for Mbappe with a sensational offer.
At the start of the transfer window, any talk of Kylian Mbappe, the France international, moving to Stamford Bridge seemed like mere nonsense. However, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has now made a decision to put Mbappe up for sale. It’s believed that the player has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer once his contract expires next summer.
Naturally, PSG does not want to lose their prized No.7, for whom they paid £166m to sign from Monaco back in August 2017. Consequently, they have put Mbappe on the market, hoping to secure a significant transfer fee.
Al-Hilal has thrown its hat in the ring with an eye-popping £259m bid to bring Mbappe to the Saudi Pro League. Moreover, they have offered the 24-year-old striker a staggering contract worth £605m annually.
Given these figures, it’s clear that Chelsea will be unable to match such an offer. Nevertheless, the Telegraph suggests that Chelsea might consider getting involved in the auction by making an offer of their own.
Chances of Chelsea Landing Mbappe
Despite Chelsea’s failure to qualify for any European competitions next season. They still stand a decent chance of signing Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman showcased his remarkable talent last term, scoring an incredible 41 goals in 43 games for PSG.
According to iNews, the World Cup winner is enticed by the idea of playing in the Premier League. Additionally, Mbappe appears to be against joining Manchester City due to the presence of Erling Haaland. Instead, he favors a move to another English giant where he can compete against the Norwegian star.
This situation presents an opportunity for Chelsea to secure the services of Kylian Mbappe. Provided he decides to make a move to England. Although it won’t be an easy task, the club has a legitimate chance of landing the coveted striker.
The pursuit of Mbappe will require significant effort from Todd Boehly, but Chelsea is firmly in contention. It will be crucial to closely monitor this dramatic situation to see how it unfolds.
In conclusion, Chelsea could potentially make a bold bid for the 41-goal striker Kylian Mbappe amidst a surprising turn of events in the transfer market. While they might not be able to match Al-Hilal’s astonishing offer. Chelsea’s chances of landing Mbappe are genuine, especially if the player opts for a move to the Premier League. Fans and football enthusiasts alike should keep a close watch on this unfolding saga.
