Chelsea has joined the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.

According to Daily Record, PSG have encouraged Chelsea’s efforts to secure Mbappe’s signature following direct discussions with the Blues’ co-owner Todd Boehly over a potential transfer for the forward.

The other sides in the race to sign the French international are Real Madrid and Liverpool.

According to reports, Chelsea is attempting to negotiate a player-plus-cash deal to bring the France international to Stamford Bridge this summer.

Mbappe’s future at PSG is currently unclear as he is yet to sign a new contract with the Parisians.

His contract with the French Ligue 1 champions will expire next summer.

Mbappe was made available for sale for €250million (£214million).
