A lovely childhood photo of Kylian Mbappe in a Chelsea jersey has resurfaced on social media, a few hours after news broke that he could leave Paris Saint-Germain as early as this summer.

Mbappe is said to have handed in an official letter to PSG chiefs, explaining to them his decision not to trigger an extension clause in his contract.

If reports are true, this would essentially mean his contract with the French giants will come to an end next season.

PSG are now faced with the prospect of losing the most interesting talent in world football for free next year. The other option would be to sell him this summer.

Transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano has indicated the Parisians would be keen to move him on this summer should he refuse to extend his contract.

Which club will Mbappe join?

Rumours have now started to swirl on where the 24-year-old could be headed next. He has previously been linked with a move to Real Madrid, only for him to make an about-turn and agree to a new deal with PSG.

Manchester United's prospective owners are also reportedly keen on signing the 2018 World Cup winner, should they take over the club.

A section of Chelsea fans have also beseeched the French star to return 'home' should he choose to leave this summer. Mbappe is among the long list of players Chelsea rejected.

As Marca reports, the Blues turned him away in 2012 after one session because of his defensive qualities.

His mother, Fayza Lamari refused to return her child for a second session, with Mbappe going on to rise through the ranks with Monaco as he took the world by storm at the World Cup in Russia.
