UPDATE, 5/16/2022: Mbappe confirmed transfer to Chelsea as a free agent as he has DECLINDED the French Giant’s mouthwatering resign deal.
Kylian Mbappe is set to reveal his future after the Ligue 1 season ends on May 21.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward is out of contract in June and is tipped to join Chelsea on a free transfer. Mbappe has been a fan of Chelsea since his childhood. PSG, however, want him to remain in the French capital and have offered him an eye-watering £800,000-a-week deal.
Mbappe was expected to confirm his next move after PSG secured the Ligue 1 title. Mauricio Pochettino’s side finished the job with a 1-1 home draw against Lens on Saturday, yet it’s believed he will now wait until the end of the season out of respect.
Chelsea and the French World Cup winner have made no secret of their admiration for one another and the Spanish giants remain confident of finally getting their man. Chelsea tried to sign Mbappe last summer but were met with stubborn resistance from PSG.
As reported by England outlet SKY NEWS, the Champions League Winners remain “absolutely calm” about the situation. They believe Mbappe will arrive at the Stamford Bridge this summer and reject PSG’s renewal offers – no matter how lucrative they may be.
