With all the uncertainty surrounding Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe's future, two Premier League giants are now said to be in the race to sign him, but only on one condition.
Chelsea and Liverpool are keeping a keen eye on the striker's contract situation at the Ligue 1 side, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

With his deal with Les Parisiens set to expire at the end of the season, Mbappe and PSG have been intertwined in a contract saga that has seen the France international reject multiple extension offers tabled to him.
The forward has also been linked with a move to LALIGA giants Real Madrid for the past few years now.
Los Blancos, along with Liverpool and Chelsea, are reportedly now set to wait until January to begin pre-contract negotiations with Mbappe's camp, with PSG understood to be trying to extend their talisman's deal in order to ensure he does not leave the club on a free transfer.
However, it is further claimed that all three of the abovementioned clubs are only interested in signing Mbappe as a free agent at the end of the campaign.
After being left out of the side's pre-season preparations following a fallout over an extension offer, the forward was brought back into the squad soon after the season began, and has since scored seven league goals in as many games.
