Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has asked the club to explain its project and what his role will be in it ahead of contract negotiations.
The 26-year-old started has become a central figure in PSG s first team, making 41 appearances across all competitions in the 2021-22 campaign.
However, it has been suggested that the French giants are in the market for a new centre-back, with Inter s Milan Skriniar rumoured to be on their radar.
In turn, Premier League side Chelsea – managed by former PSG boss Thomas Tuchel – are said to have expressed an interest in acquiring Kimpembe if they are unable to sign his France team-mate Jules Kounde from Sevilla.

Earlier this month, Kimpembe cast doubt on his future when saying it was a key moment in his career, with only two years left on his contract.
Some perceived it to be a hint that he was potentially angling for a move, and while he did look to clarify his comments on Sunday, Kimpembe reiterated the importance of knowing PSG s vision for him.
Speaking ahead of France s Nations League clash with Croatia on Monday, Kimpembe said: I told PSG that I m almost 27 years old, that my next contract will be decisive and that I wanted to know what the club s project was.
I didn t say anything bad. I arrived at the club when I was 9-10 years old. I think it makes sense to ask what the future project is and what role I ll be given within it.
But, at the moment, I m focused on the French team and [Monday s] match to finish this season well.
