Real Madrid fear Mbappé could go to Chelsea after ‘special’ Instagram post
The superstar has refused to take up the option of extending his contract at the Parc des Princes until 2025 and, as a result, could leave on a free transfer next summer.PSG believe that Mbappé already has an agreement with Carlo Ancelotti’s team, who were content not to make a transfer offer this summer, despite the Ligue 1 champions’ invitation to do so.
The certainty that Mbappé is heading to Spain is not reflected by AS after what they fear is a cryptic message from the player about his future.
Mbappe posted a screenshot from his phone indicating that he was listening to « Special » by Dave and Tiakola.
This sentence has sent shivers down the spine of the media, as it contains the words translated from French: « Je suis un Top Boy, une signature chère comme Moises Caicedo à Londres » (I’m a Top Boy, an expensive signing like Moises Caicedo in London).
Chelsea is indeed a potential destination for Mbappé due to its financial clout, while a reunion with former PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino is not necessarily something Mbappé would be opposed to. The Blues’ lack of competitiveness in the Premier League and Champions League rules out a transfer for the time being.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have already been piqued by Mbappé. Last summer, the Madrilenians thought he would join the club as a free agent, but the player preferred to commit himself to PSG, and Los Blancos fear another disappointment with the 24-year-old once again within reach.
