According to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Chelsea are exploring a staggering move for Paris Saint-Germain contract rebel Kylian Mbappe.

Real Madrid and Saudi club Al-Hilal are also interested in signing the French forward.

PSG have put Mbappe up for sale after he was omitted from their pre-season tour squad following his decision not to extend his PSG contract.

Chelsea are exploring the viability of a deal for Mbappe this summer but Real Madrid have long been touted as his likeliest destination. 

Saudi club Al-Hilal are willing to pay €200 million (£173m/$222m) to sign him this summer, despite his contract expiring at the end of the coming season. It remains to be seen if Chelsea would be capable of matching such a figure. 

The Al-Hilal offer would also earn Mbappe €400m (£346m/$445m) over the course of the season and they would be willing to sell him on to Real Madrid next summer. 

The report adds that Mbappe wants to stay for another season at PSG before leaving for the Bernabeu on a free next summer.
