According to the Daily Record, Mbappe has been placed into a group of so-called “loft” players at the club – including Liverpool hero Gini Wijnaldum and Julian Draxler – as they look to sell him.

Mbappe was placed on the French outfit’s for sale list after announcing he would NOT sign a new deal at the club.

PSG are said to have “encouraged” Todd Boehly’s outfit to make an offer for the superstar after accepting a world record bid of £259million from Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal.

However, Mbappe declined to discuss a contract with them despite being offered staggering wage package worth a staggering £603m-a-year.

The report neglects to mention who is on the table from a Chelsea perspective, but Mauricio Pochettino is keen to cut down on his squad size.
