Your Chelsea morning transfer round-up on Tuesday, June 14.
Mbappe eyes PSG exit
Kylian Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he doesn't want to extend his stay in the French capital beyond the end of his contract in 2024. The 24-year-old forward faces an increasingly uncertain future at Les Parc des Princes, with his contract set to expire in 12 months.
And, according to bet365, staying at PSG is the most likely outcome at a very short 1/2. Real Madrid are 11/4 to sign the 24-year-old, ahead of Manchester United at 11/2 and Chelsea at 14/1.
Treble-winners Man City are backed at 33/1, alongside Newcastle, while a move to Saudi Arabia is tipped at 40/1. Liverpool (40/1), Arsenal and Bayern Munich (50/1) are less likely to complete the signing, leaving Real in pole position to complete the blockbuster move.

Mount alternative
Manchester United have given Chelsea a huge wakeup call regarding the potential sale of Mason Mount this summer. The 24-year-old midfielder faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, with his contract expiring in 12-months.
The Red Devils are said to be leading the race to sign Mount, but a disparity in valuations have stalled any progress from being made. With United losing patience, The Sun claim that Erik ten Hag has found an alternative in case a deal cannot be completed – James Maddison.
The 26-year-old midfielder is expected to leave the King Power Stadium in the coming weeks following Leicester City's relegation from the top-flight. He featured 30 times for the Foxes in the Premier League last season, directly contributing towards 19 goals.

Lukaku drops hint
Romelu Lukaku has suggested that he will return to Inter Milan next season in a heartfelt message on social media. The 29-year-old striker faces an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea, with a move to the Nerazzurri or Saudi Arabia said to be on the cards.
Devastated by his performance in the Champions League final against Manchester City, Lukaku poured his heart out on Instagram and wrote: "First of all thank you to all the Inter fans for the love and support throughout the season.
"You guys stood by us through every moment and personally I want to thank you for that. It wasn’t meant to be. We gave it all. That’s a s*** feeling for all of us that love this beautiful club… But this club has hunger and we will fight to hopefully reach that moment of glory one day."
