Chelsea have been linked with a move for 23 year old Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe who has been put up for sale this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain are determined to sell Mbappe after he refused to extend his contract by a further year, amid fears he is planning to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino played down the prospect of Chelsea aigning Mbappe, who is the highest-paid player in Europe already on around £100m-a-season.

Pochettino said: “I think in our past we were at Paris Saint Germain and with Kylian and think I need to be conscious that I cannot talk.

“Everything you talk is too much noise. It is a situation that is very delicate and one they need to fix in Paris with Kylian. For our side I have nothing to say.”

Pochettino added: “We are working on our reality, our reality is different. From my side, nothing to say, only to support them.

“I hope they find a solution for both sides. It is a club that I love because I was a player, a captain and a coach. With Kylian we created a very good relationship, I hope they can find the best solution for both sides.”
