Many sources claim that Kylian Mbappe is interested in joining Liverpool next summer, despite Real Madrid leading the fight to get this young French star.
Mbappe is assessing his options, according to L’Equipe, and Liverpool is among the teams he is considering when he becomes a free agent at the conclusion of the season.
Previously, Liverpool were said to be interested in signing Mbappe this summer, while PSG were reportedly looking to sell Mbappe for a hefty transfer fee due to his refusal to sign a new contract beyond 2024.
In reality, Real Madrid has been after Mbappe for the previous two years but has unable to consummate a deal. They made proposals but were turned down in 2021, and dreams of signing him for free in 2022 were shattered when he refused to “turn the wheel” and sign a new contract with PSG.
El Chiringuito TV journalist Edu Aguirre claims that Liverpool made a 300 million euro bid for Mbappe earlier this summer, but this information is unsubstantiated. Liverpool may be seeking for a successor for Mohamed Salah, despite the fact that the Egyptian is Al Ittihad’s top desire.
The Saudi Pro League’s top club is poised to make a bold move and has set a number for a £215 million deal to sign forward Salah. However, Saudi Arabia’s richest man has yet to get approval from Liverpool’s hierarchy, despite Coach Klopp’s assertion that Salah is not for sale.
In the event that Salah leaves, former France international Djibril Cisse believes Liverpool is the best option for Kylian Mbappe to master the attack. Cisse then quipped that Mbappe should be a good son and listen to his mother, suggesting that the French junior forward join the club that Mbappe’s agent and mother prefer.
“I want to see the best player in the world right now, Kylian Mbappe, at Liverpool.” “I believe Mbappe was designed for English football,” Cisse said. “I know he loves Real Madrid and has been associated with them; I would love to go there myself.”
But it will be interesting to witness Mbappe at Anfield, where he will be a big draw in the Premier League. And I believe Mbappe’s mother adores Liverpool. Mbappe, as a good son, must listen to his mother!”
Former France player Marcel Desailly agreed, telling Boylesports that Liverpool are the best team for Mbappe: “Liverpool is not at the end of an era, unlike Chelsea.” Mbappe must make this decision not in one or two years, but in four or five. So when sources talk about loaning Mbappe for a year, I’m not convinced.
Remember that Liverpool has not sold many of their players and is still building a foundation at Anfield. They also had a period of decline following many years of strong performance when they sold Sadio Mane. So Liverpool must find a replacement for Mane who is as talented as he is, a striker with a comparable football philosophy and impact. I feel Mbappe will be most suited to fill that vacuum at Liverpool.”
Mbappe has yet to make a choice about his future, although he has stated that he will not sign a new deal with PSG. This implies the French player will be able to contact a new club in the first month of 2024, six months before his contract expires.
