If Kylian Mbappé has been stirring up all the rumors for a few days with his intention not to extend to PSG beyond 2024, other French internationals are looking at their short-term future. The summer transfer window which has just opened should see some well-known names from Les Bleus move in the coming weeks.
Between the end of the contract, the springboard transfers and the opportunities, there will be unrest in the troops of Didier Deschamps. But with the Euro in Germany in a year, we must not make a bad choice, otherwise risking compromising the playing time in the France team. A brief overview of these Blues potentially brought to move.
Among the executives of the Blues who could soon change air, we find the taulier Antoine Griezmann. The 32-year-old striker, capable of playing in the heart of the game, is coming off a very good season with Atlético de Madrid with 15 goals and 17 assists in La Liga. Returning to the Spanish capital after his failure in Barcelona, ????the 2018 world champion would have negotiated a release clause at 25 million euros, according to L’Équipe. A more than fair price. What finally motivate French clubs to come and poach Griezmann so that he can evolve for the first time in Ligue 1?

For Adrien Rabiot, there will be no problem with the release clause. The midfielder is at the end of his contract in less than two weeks with Juventus, and his future is still not fixed. It was announced last summer at Manchester United, but the English club has not yet relaunched this file. The Bianconeri therefore remain on the lookout to keep the one who comes out of a good season in Italy and with the Blues.
Also present at the 2022 World Cup but quickly injured, Lucas Hernandez would be in the small papers of PSG. It remains to be seen whether the Bavarian has recovered well from his serious Crusader injury.
Among the potential big surprises of this summer transfer window, we will closely monitor the case of Mike Maignan. The new number one goalkeeper of the Blues has become a world reference and assumes wonderfully, for the moment, the succession of Hugo Lloris. But the situation in his club AC Milan calls out: the Milanese staff has decided to part with Paolo Maldini, club legend and leader appreciated in particular by the French porter. The latter also delivered an enigmatic message on social networks after his ouster.
If nothing has been done to date, Chelsea would be very interested in the idea of ????recovering the former Losc goalkeeper. And to stay on the Blues, an almost complete arrival is planned with Christopher Nkunku. The meteoric rise of the Leipzig striker has given his agreement to Chelsea for several months, and the formalization should not delay any longer.
