Kylian Mbappe linked with shock Premier League move after Real Madrid fallout

Kylian Mbappe's days as a Real Madrid player look to be numbered, and a Premier League giant could be his next club.

After being shunned from friendship groups within the camp and receiving a brutal reception from fans, with an online petition calling for his exit, Mbappe may be ready to leave Real Madrid .

The club is in complete disarray, and it's going to take an almighty effort from the returning Jose Mourinho to turn around their misfortune.

The Special One has already identified a number of club icons that need to be offloaded in a summer overhaul of the dressing room, which has never been more divided.

While not through the opinion of Mourinho - at least not in the public eye - one of those flirting with the idea of leaving the Bernabeu is Kylian Mbappe.

And, his next chapter is already being written.

Mbappe linked with Premier League switch after Madrid ostracising

Mbappe currently finds himself caught up in the middle of an ongoing war with Jude Bellingham, as the pair were seen clashing on the pitch after a game against Real Oviedo.

It's just one of many emerging rifts between players.

Bellingham has even posted pictures on social media designed to show fans what the Real Madrid squad looks like without Mbappe.

Having also butted heads with Alvaro Arbeloa, Mbappe is heavily reported to want to leave.

Still in his prime, though, there are only a couple of destinations that could be capable of housing him.

Bayern Munich could be one, but where he would fit into a well-oiled side that boasts Harry Kane leaves it unlikely. The same goes for a PSG return, especially after Luis Enrique has signed a new deal.

So, where else? Italy? It seems a step down for a player with Ballon D'Or ambitions.

With the Premier League now slated to be the number one destination for Mbappe, where could he really end up?

Xabi Alonso rumoured to be keen on a shocking reunion

The Premier League only boasts a handful of clubs that could realistically pull Mbappe (and afford his wages), and with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Man United all looking to go huge this summer, it's Chelsea who are emerging as frontrunners for Mbappe's signature.

Specifically, after publicly backing him at Real Madrid, reports suggest that Xabi Alonso is keen to bring the French superstar to Stamford Bridge.

Mbappe scored 30 goals in 28 matches under Alonso, and the goals have dried up somewhat since Arbeloa came in (12 in 18 games).

The 27-year-old forward previously vented his frustration at Alonso's departure from Madrid.

"I have a great relationship with Xabi Alonso," he said in January.

"To say that Xabi wasn't successful isn't true”.

“He left before the titles were won. We only lost the Supercopa with him. Xabi, in my opinion, will be a FANTASTIC coach”.

“He will be a great manager. Everyone knows what I think about him”.

Chelsea famously has a hefty number nine curse, with only Drogba and Costa being 'successful' strikers in the eyes of fans over the last decade and a half.

Mbappe certainly wouldn't lack for supply in this side, either, and it could be a match made in heaven under Xabi's wing.

With Joao Pedro comfortable in the 10, Palmer favouring the right wing, and any number of pacey wingers slotting in on the left, the move could be an opportunity too tasty for Todd Boehly to pass over.
