Officially, Kylian Mbappe Has Stated That He Will Be Joining Chelsea this January on one Condition
Chelsea may be able to terminate their wait for Mbappe’s transfer since a pre-agreement is feasible.
The silly season has officially begun. The start of the new year signals the start of the January transfer market, and recent big hitters Chelsea are almost guaranteed to be in and among the headlines throughout the month.
Only a year ago, they embarked on a record-breaking four-week period in which they signed eight new players for a total of over £300 million, including the highest British transfer at the time. They have more focused business to attend to this time around.
Many expect the Blues to strive for a new striker, and January 1 marks the start of what is likely to be a short and congested window for clubs to sign Kylian Mbappe. The Paris Saint-Germain attacker declined to sign an extension with the Parisiens over the summer and appeared to be on his way out after being dropped from the team’s pre-season plans.
The Frenchman now has fewer than six months left on his contract and will be free to leave at the end of the season. Although PSG has apparently tried to exclude the possibility of a move to Real Madrid, there are expected to be a slew of bids on the table.
Chelsea, who briefly trialled Mbappe in the early 2010s, may be one of those clubs. Football.london explores the optics of a transaction and whether or not it makes sense.
