Chelsea transfer news: Reece James gives a hint about Kylian Mbappe as $172 million medical accomplished

Updates on N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic are included in the most recent Chelsea transfer news, which comes after Reece James makes a significant Kylian Mbappe hint.

James makes a Mbappe reference.

This summer, Chelsea may attempt to make an outrageous move to sign Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe using two conceivable secret strategies.

Todd Boehly’s fantasy involves a footballing superstar moving to Chelsea amid growing rumors that Neymar will do so. After his relationship with a Blues player became public, another PSG attacker might instead join Chelsea in the upcoming transfer windows.

Reece James shared a photo of himself with Kylian Mbappe on Instagram with the caption, “*lightning bolt emoji* X *flexed arm emoji* @K.
Mbappe”.

Over the course of the weekend, the pair attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Barcelona, where Neymar, Ben Chilwell, and Mason Mount could also be seen on the starting grid.

N’Golo Kante’s agreement to join Saudi Arabian team Al Ittihad appears to be one of the first transfers of the Mauricio Pochettino era.

Pochettino’s Kante appeared to be close to agreeing to a new contract at Stamford Bridge, but when no deal could be reached, the Saudi Arabian champions pounced with an astounding offer. The midfielder will receive €100 million (£86 million) per season after agreeing to a two-year contract with an additional season’s option.

As Kante finished his Al Ittihad medical earlier this afternoon in London, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues will now likely have to play the upcoming season without their engine room operator. Although there are still a few last documents to be signed, the move has not yet been fully finalized.

Kovacic admission of exit.

The fact that Mateo Kovacic will leave Chelsea this summer has been strongly hinted at. The Croatian has been a crucial part of the Blues’ midfield for the past five seasons, but he is just one of many players who could leave Stamford Bridge before the 2023–24 season.

Recently, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola started talking about signing Kovacic. Guardiola is also considering a mini-midfield rebuild. Although the process of moving to Etihad Stadium has not yet advanced significantly, Kovacic has made a significant admission about his future that points to a departure. Kovacic told Croatian news outlet Nacional, “I have one more year with Chelsea, this season was very bad.”.

Everything points to the fact that I will switch centers after five successful seasons, but anything can happen in football. I’m concentrating on the League of Nations and Croatia at the moment. “.
