Boehly has now held direct talks over signing ‘frightening’ player for Chelsea, could be a swap deal
According to the Daily Record, Todd Boehly has engaged in direct talks with PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi regarding a potential deal to bring Kylian Mbappe to Chelsea.
PSG is reportedly looking favorably upon Chelsea as a potential destination for Mbappe, considering that the Blues are not participating in the Champions League.
PSG is keen to sell Mbappe this summer as they believe he already has an agreement to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next year. As a result, they want to recoup some funds from his sale rather than losing him for free, having spent £166m on his acquisition.
The Daily Record suggests that Chelsea and PSG are in discussions about a player-plus-cash deal for Mbappe, which means that Chelsea may have to part with a player from their squad to secure the French forward. However, specific names are not mentioned in the report.
It is noted that PSG is interested in Romelu Lukaku as a potential target, which could potentially be part of the deal to replace Mbappe, although it remains uncertain if Chelsea would agree to such a swap.
Chelsea is determined in their pursuit of Mbappe, and the situation may continue to develop in the coming days, so it will be interesting to see how the negotiations progress.
