Since Jurgen Klopp‘s arrival at Anfield in 2015, Liverpool have become known as one of the most entertaining teams globally, showcasing various styles under the German manager’s guidance.
According to reports from the Daily Record, PSG’s star player, Kylian Mbappe, has been an admirer of Liverpool under Klopp for several years.
This has led to speculation that Liverpool are now assessing the feasibility, both financially and in terms of sporting dynamics, of bringing Mbappe to Anfield in the upcoming summer.
Mbappe’s contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a free agent. Thus, the Merseysiders won’t need to pay the French champions, who paid £166m for him in 2017.
Jurgen Klopp could become a key factor in bringing Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool
While PSG seems relaxed about the situation, Mbappe has yet to make a decision about his future. Liverpool, along with Arsenal, are reportedly interested, but Mbappe is said to be particularly drawn to the prospect of joining Liverpool.
Kylian Mbappe has previously expressed his connection to Liverpool, citing his mother’s admiration for the club and acknowledging previous transfer discussions.
However, it remains to be seen whether this affinity will translate into a move to Anfield.
Despite Mbappe’s status as one of the best players globally and his potential for further growth, Liverpool’s current tactical setup might not necessitate his addition, especially considering his preference for the left side of the attack.
Financially, while there would be no transfer fee involved, Mbappe’s substantial wages could pose a challenge for Liverpool.
While the idea of having one of the world’s top players at Liverpool is undoubtedly exciting, the practicalities of the move, including tactical fit and financial considerations, raise doubts about the likelihood of Mbappe joining the Reds.
Liverpool is my Religion and Anfield is my Church. 17th May 1996 the date I had my blood coloured red. The one you love the most you can not live without it and that is football to me.
