Kylian Mbappe is being eyed by Chelsea: Reports

If reports are to be believed, Chelsea is eyeing a mega move for Kylian Mbappe. The Blues have seen several players arrive at Stamford Bridge since the takeover by the Todd Boehly-led consortium.

31st July remains the deadline for triggering the one-year option but given the current scenario, the player doesn't have any intention to trigger the extension. PSG reportedly accepted a bid of €300 million from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, but Mbappe declined the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr earlier this year.

Chelsea will not take part in the Champions League next season

Chelsea's inability to take part in the Champions League could be a hindrance in the move as the 24-year-old is yet to prove his credentials in the premier European competition. It would take a huge convincing from Chelsea to acquire the service of the French superstar.

Recently, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino insisted it's a precarious situation for them. "I need to be conscious, I cannot talk because everything that you talk is too much noise, it is a very delicate situation and it is a situation they need to fix in Paris with Kylian, Kylian with PSG."
