We ran a simulation of the 2023–24 season with Kylian Mbappe at Chelsea to see if the PSG forward could turn around the Blues after making a significant transfer.

One of the many teams who might complete a transfer for the striker is Chelsea, and Kylian Mbappe is once more being linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

After appearing almost certain to sign with Real Madrid last summer, Mbappe decided to change his mind and commit his future to PSG for an additional two years, with the possibility of an additional year’s extension. Nevertheless, it appears that the Frenchman will reject the extension, which means the French Champions run the risk of losing their most valuable asset for nothing when the current contract expires in a year, fueling speculation about a summer transfer.

As usual, Madrid are the favorites to sign him, but Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City have also been connected to the 2022 World Cup’s leading scorer.

The Blues won’t likely be in the running to sign him, but PSG might be willing to sell for a fair price if they don’t want to risk losing him for nothing next summer.

We ran simulations for the upcoming season to see how Mbappe might perform if he were to join Chelsea.

With Kylian Mbappe, Chelsea’s 2023–24 season was simulated.

Using Football Manager 2023, we moved Mbappe to Chelsea on July 1, 2023, and then we simulated the 2023–24 season. The Frenchman performed in this manner.

Mbappe, 24, became the focal point of Chelsea’s attack as was to be expected after the high-profile transfer; he made more appearances for the Blues than any other forward during the 2023–24 season. Mbappe finished the season as the Premier League’s leading scorer with 28 goals and 10 assists across all competitions.

Erling Haaland (26) and Darwin Nunez (24) lost out on the golden boot to him because 27 of his 28 goals came in the league. The striker also recorded the highest rating in the Chelsea team, a 7 point 41 average rating per game.

Under Pochettino, Enzo Fernandez rose to unprecedented heights, scoring 14 goals, dishing out 13 assists, and winning nine Player of the Match awards—one more than Kylian Mbappe. Raheem Sterling had a successful season in which he scored 15 goals, and Mykhailo Mudryk and Christopher Nkunku also performed admirably.

Football Manager 2023 assembled an all-time best Chelsea XI at the conclusion of the 2023–24 season based on performances, statistics, and other factors. This is how it appeared:.

Kepa; Fofana, Badiashile, Silva; James, Mount, Fernandez, Chilwell; Nkunku, Mudryk; Mbappe make up the entire Chelsea best XI (3-4-2-1).

Christopher Nkunku breaks his silence on Chelsea transfer with a message from Mauricio Pochettino

Christopher Nkunku is set to join Chelsea in the summer transfer window, having signed a preliminary contract last year before moving to Stamford Bridge for £52million.

Christopher Nkunku has answered questions about his likely move to Chelsea this summer during his international cap with France.

The Frenchman signed a preliminary contract last year and will complete a £52m move to Stamford Bridge ahead of next season, according to football. london.

The 25-year-old won the Bundesliga Golden Boot – despite missing two months of the season through injury – scoring 16 goals in just 25 league appearances.

Chelsea are in desperate need of a goalscorer after Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling were the Blues’ top scorers last season with nine goals each.

“The signs are very, very clear that he is moving to Chelsea,” RB Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl told BILD recently. Nkunku scored a goal and provided an assist as he helped Leipzig win the DFB-Pokal in his last appearance for the German side.

Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana has been asked about his compatriot’s arrival ahead of the summer transfer window. Fofana replied: “If that happens, I will be very happy.”

However, Nkunku remained hesitant about his future and the summer transfer window, saying on international duty:

“My goal is to get closer to Les Bleus. We will have time to think about everything that will happen next.

Asked about his preferred position and where he could play under Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge, Nkunku added:

“I play where the manager decides.” I don’t want to be a problem but a solution.
“But I can be in front, in support or on the sides. I have the ability to adapt, I like being free.”
