Mbappe transfer hint, Legend to replace Sarri? Chelsea wants £200m star as part of Hazard deal, Allegri message boost

Here is a roundup of the latest Chelsea news from icfootballnews

Long-term Chelsea target and PSG star Kylian Mabappe has admitted that he ‘is open to a new project’, alerting a number of Europes top sides.

Despite the fact that Chelsea are still unable to buy any players during this transfer window, the Blues are challenging the ruling and are hoping to secure a number of top signings to help get Maurizio Sarri’s side challenging for the League title.

And with all the reports in the media which are suggesting that star man Eden Hazard is leaving the club to sign for Spanish giants Real Madrid, the Blues are desperate to find an adequate replacement that could fill the goals that the Belgian Creates and scores.

And one name that has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, is that of Mbappe, who is regarded as one of the best players in world football already and is the man everyone is tipping to become the greatest football on the planet.

The 20-year-old World Cup winner was named the best player in French football on Sunday night, picking up both the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards.

But after accepting his prize from Didier Drogba, he has hinted that he is already thinking about the next step in his career and the possibility of leaving PSG.

The forward said on Sky Sports: “It’s a very important moment for me, I’ve come to a turning point in my career.

“I have discovered a lot here, and I feel it is perhaps the moment to have more responsibility.

“I hope that can maybe be at Paris Saint-Germain, that would be a great pleasure. Or perhaps elsewhere with a new project.”

Reports have claimed have decided they want to bring legend Frank Lampard back to the club as a possible replacement for Maurizio Sarri.

Sarri had a great start to life as boss of the Blues, but over the last few months he has seen performance levels drop and many of his decisions ripped by many pundits and media outlets.

And despite the fact that he managed to get Chelsea back inside the top three spots in the Premier League and also reach two finals, with the Blues firm favourites to win the Europa league at the end of the month, there is much talk that Chelsea will look to axe the Italian if he fails to achieve a trophy this season.

Now Sky Sport Italia report that Chelsea are looking to change their manager after the Europa League final and want Lampard to usher in a new era.

The former Blues midfielder is currently plotting a way past Aston Villa in Derby County’s promotion play-off decider at Wembley next week, having enjoyed an excellent first season in management and Chelsea bosses have been impressed with the way Lampard has carried himself.

And the reports even go on to suggest Sarri may not be out of work for very long, with the 60-year-old one of the two main names in the frame to take over at Juventus, after Max Allegri confirmed that he was leaving the Italian Champions.
