Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly ‘would love’ to sign unhappy PSG star Kylian Mbappe – according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Several French media reported on Tuesday that the striker was fed up with unfulfilled promises by PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible.

The 23-year-old France international was linked with a move to La Liga champions Real Madrid in the close season and was expected to move from the Paris club after five years – instead signing a massive contract to stay

The news about him possibly wanting to leave PSG in the coming transfer window has led to all sorts of speculation that Chelsea will make a move for the man – give him that massive wage he is looking for and pay a record-fee in the progress.

Now – amid all the speculation O’Rourke has claimed that Ted Boehly would love to make Mbappe the marquee signing that he wants at Stamford Bridge.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “I think Chelsea will be one of those clubs who will be linked with Mbappe.

“I’m sure Todd Boehly would love to make such a marquee signing as Mbappe just to really stamp his mark on the club.”

But despite all the rumours – Mbappe has claimed that all the speculation in false: “I never asked for my departure in January,” he told reporters after PSG’s 1-0 win over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

“The information that came out on the day of the [Champions League match against Benfica], I did not understand it. I am not involved in this information neither directly nor indirectly.”

“I was as shocked by this news as everyone else. People may think I’m involved, I’m not at all,” Mbappe added.

“I was taking a nap, my entourage was at my little brother’s game. We were stunned when we found out.

“Afterwards, we had to deal with it, we had a match to play. I just wanted to say that it’s completely false, I’m very happy here.”
