Liverpool have reportedly been in contact with Kylian Mbappé’s representatives, with PSG including the France international on the transfer list this week.
Football Transfers claims the Reds are in talks with the striker’s camp over a potential transfer. The race to sign Mbappé is now on after it was revealed that PSG will now sell the striker this summer – an update from Liverpool seem interested.
The Merseyside giants have been linked with Mbappe for what seems like forever. And this window could now be the best chance Liverpool have ever had to sign the 24-year-old striker, even if they face Real Madrid for the superstar’s signature.
With PSG signing Mbappe for £166m in 2017, Liverpool may have to nearly triple their transfer record to lure the former AS Monaco superstar to Anfield – a prospect few fans can imagine this summer. In fact, the striker has always been a Liverpool fan. But even with Jürgen Klopp’s team in talks with Mbappé’s, the chances of the Reds signing the Frenchman remain close to zero, especially with Real Madrid still favourites.
Mbappé at Liverpool still seems like a no-go
Mbappé to Liverpool is a transfer that practically every Rossoneri fan has dreamed of at least once in the last five years. But even with the striker leaving Paris this summer, a transfer still looks like a wild fantasy for giants Anfield this window.
As we know, Mbappé is one of the highest paid footballers in the sport and will want a salary to match his current earnings, something Liverpool simply cannot afford, even if they have to overcome their first major financial barrier to meet PSG’s demands for the striker, which is expected to run into the hundreds of millions.
