Arsenal and Chelsea get Kylian Mbappe transfer clarity amid double summer theory

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe could be on the move this summer after sending a formal letter to his current employers regarding his contract plans. The France World Cup winner sees his current deal at the Parisians expire in 2024 and he has since informed PSG that he will not take up the option of a one-year contract extension next summer.

Understandably, as one of the world's best, this put numerous European heavyweights on high alert. Real Madrid were of course the strongest club initially linked, given their past with Mbappe and the financial power they possess to pull off what would be a monumental deal.

However, the €103m (£88.5m) signing of Jude Bellingham rules out an imminent move to Los Blancos which could mean Mbappe leaves PSG on a free transfer next summer. That scenario playing out would open the door for numerous clubs including Chelsea with co-owner Todd Boehly as a firm admirer of the 24-year-old.
