Liverpool are long-term admirers of French superstar Kylian Mbappe and could well be gunning for him, especially with the 22-year-old World Cup having reportedly told Paris Saint-Germain he wants to leave the club this summer, with his situation at PSG looking increasingly precarious.<\/p>\n
Mbappe had all along been expected to sign an extension to his current contract which runs out in 2022, but new reports have now put that scenario in serious doubt. Instead, it now appears the Frenchman could possibly move on this summer, with Liverpool and Real Madrid still the frontrunners for the coveted signature of the former Monaco man who will cost north of \u00a3100million if PSG do decide to sell.<\/p>\n
The thought of PSG selling Mbappe is almost zany but reports in France suggest he just isn\u2019t keen on staying.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that Mbappe asked to leave, but it is complicated because first you have to find a club that has the money to pay him, but the news is that he really does not want to stay,\u201d RMC Sport\u2019s Daniel Riolo said, via Marca.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe player does not believe in Leonardo\u2019s project. If he does not leave this summer, it will be for free next season. And in Doha [PSG\u2019s owners] they do not want to hear about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Mbappe expresses this desire to leave, it means that he will have to find a club and that PSG will need to look for a replacement.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut yes, the news is that Mbappe does not want to stay at PSG.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reports over Mbappe\u2019s latest stand on his future will be welcome news to the ears of Jurgen Klopp and Real Madrid, although it remains to be seen whether both clubs can actually stump out the enormous amount of cash required to sign the Frenchman this summer \u2013 colossal transfer fee and wages included.<\/p>\n
