Chelsea have been dealt a major blow to their hopes of signing Kylian Mbappe this summer despite having drafted a clever plan
Barcelona appear to have taken a leaf out of Chelsea's book as the two clubs battle to sign Kylian Mbappe. The 24-year-old forward has been heavily linked with an exit from Paris Saint-Germain this summer after deciding to not extend his future in the French capital beyond next year.
According to The Independent, Barcelona are – just like the Blues – attempting to negotiate a player-plus-cash deal to secure Mbappe's signature. The report states that the two sides are looking to structure an offer for the France international, who's expected to seek pastures new either this summer or next.
"Everything you talk is too much noise. It is a situation that is very delicate and one they need to fix in Paris with Kylian. For our side I have nothing to say.
"We are working on our reality, our reality is different. From my side, nothing to say, only to supporter them. I hope they find a solution for both sides.
"It is a club that I love, because I was a player, a captain and coach. With Kylian we create a very good relationship, I hope they can find the best solution for both sides."

It will not be difficult for Barca to meet the demands of high wages for Mbappe. After all they will be saving so much on the medical bills after the departure of Dembele.
