The football world has been shaken by news from Spain - London-based Chelsea is making a serious bid for Real Madrid's star player, Kylian Mbappé, according to the renowned "El Nacional."

The new Chelsea manager, Cabi Alonso, who took over the club on May 17, has marked the French forward as an absolute priority for the next season. Alonso, who is well acquainted with the Madrid environment, believes that Mbappé is the crucial piece needed to return the "Blues" to the top of Europe.

According to the source, Chelsea's management has not wasted any time. Contact has already been established with Faiz Lamari, Mbappé's mother and agent, to explore the conditions under which one of today's best players might leave "Santiago Bernabéu."

Despite Mbappé having a strong contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2029, Chelsea is confident in its substantial financial power. The market value of the French player is estimated at around 200 million euros, but the entire package (offer plus salary) could break all records in the history of sports.

Mbappé's statistics at Madrid are daunting, and it is clear why Cabi Alonso is so keen on signing him. In the 2025/26 season, he played 43 matches and scored 41 goals, with seven assists, and overall, in the Real Madrid jersey, he has recorded 102 appearances and scored an incredible 85 goals.

Real Madrid has not commented on these speculations yet, but it is known that President Florentino Pérez does not easily let go of his best players, especially not when they are at the peak of their careers. Nevertheless, the "Cabi Alonso" factor and the tenacity of Chelsea's owners could lead to the biggest transfer bomb football has ever seen.
