Liverpool emerge as the “most credible and dangerous candidate” to secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain’s star, Kylian Mbappe, as indicated by a recent report. Reports have persistently linked the French forward to Anfield, though with varying degrees of certainty.
Mbappe’s tenure with PSG is nearing its end, with his contract set to conclude this season. He previously turned down a staggering £259m offer from Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. Initial forecasts had hinted at his departure from the Ligue 1 giants as a free agent.
While a move to Real Madrid appeared almost inevitable for the World Cup champion, a fresh report from Le Parisien hints at a different trajectory. The report underscores that Liverpool stand alone as a major contender alongside Real Madrid for Mbappe’s signature.
Interestingly, Le Parisien goes a step further, asserting that Liverpool hold the distinction of being the “most credible and dangerous candidate” should Mbappe opt against extending his stay with PSG.
The potential transfer is touted as a “dream” signing for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp’s enduring admiration for Mbappe, coupled with his past attempts to bring the former Monaco prodigy to Liverpool, could play a pivotal role in Mbappe’s impending decision.
Le Parisien has reported that there exists a significant chance for Mbappe to extend his career in Paris, especially considering the club’s alignment with his attacking style.
Real Madrid’s prospects of acquiring Mbappe appear to have diminished in recent transfer periods, making a transfer to Santiago Bernabeu less certain.
During his time at Monaco, Mbappe disclosed that he engaged in transfer talks with Liverpool. Additionally, he revealed that Liverpool are his mother’s preferred team.
“I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool,” said the forward. “I don’t know why, you will have to ask her! It’s a good club and we met them five years ago. When I was in Monaco I met them. It’s a big club.”
Bringing Mbappe to Liverpool would undeniably signal a significant move from the current Premier League leaders. However, the intricacies involved make such a deal appear improbable.
Despite the latest report by Le Parisien, fans are cautioned against raising their hopes for Mbappe’s transfer. The future of this exceptional forward remains uncertain. Moreover, the substantial financial investment needed to secure his services at Anfield may deter Fenway Sports Group.
