Mauricio Pochettino already promised 'next Kylian Mbappe' as £160m Chelsea transfer hope crushed

Mauricio Pochettino has been told that he already has his own Kylian Mbappe at Chelsea. The 24-year-old forward faces an increasingly uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain, with his contract expiring in 12-months, and he's said to be on the move this summer.

According to L’Equipe, Mbappe sent a letter to the Parisians declaring his desire to not stay at Les Parc des Princes beyond next season. The report states that PSG have been left angered at the manner of the announcement, and they plan to cash in on the France international rather than risk losing him for free in 2024.

Then, a few hours later, Le Parisien published an article claiming that Mbappe is targeting a move to Real Madrid. The Frenchman quickly shutdown the suggestion a move to the Santiago Bernabeu on social media, tweeting: "At the same time, the bigger it is, the more it passes. I have already said that I will continue next season at PSG where I am very happy."
