A surprising revelation has emerged regarding Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Liverpool. Reports suggest that both Liverpool and Chelsea are considering making аggressive bids for the French striker in the upcoming January transfer window. Although Mbappe’s current contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the season, the club is determined to retain the superstar for as long as possible.
During the summer, Mbappe chose not to exercise the option to extend his contract by one year, allowing him the freedom to explore his career options after the current campaign concluded. PSG was disappointed by his decision and vehemently excluded him from their preseason trip, causing significant controversy ahead of the season.
Recent rumors indicate that Liverpool and Chelsea, two Premier League teams, are planning to make strong moves for Mbappe in January. However, it is important to note that Real Madrid has long been considered the frontrunner for the 24-year-old and is likely to be his destination in the summer transfer window.
According to Italian magazine La Gazzetta dello Sport, as reported by Le 10 Sport, both Chelsea and Liverpool are willing to offer Mbappe “highly significant contracts” in order to secure his services. While both clubs have previously been linked with the PSG player, a transfer in January is highly unlikely as the French club would be reluctant to lose him mid-season.
For a transfer to materialize, a substantial offer would need to be made, which is currently difficult to envision. It is possible that Mbappe may sign a short-term contract or leave on a free transfer next summer, allowing PSG to receive compensation for the talented French player, who is expected to eventually join Real Madrid.
