In a recent statement, football pundit Robbie Savage discussed the potential of Kylian Mbappe leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to join Liverpool on a loan deal, and he described it as “unbelievable” for the English club.
PSG set to offload Mbappe
It appears that PSG are eager to offload their star player, possibly due to the looming threat of a free transfer to Real Madrid next summer.
Various clubs, including Premier League teams and even talks of Tottenham, have shown interest in acquiring Mbappe’s services.
Savage on Mbappe loan move to Liverpool
However, Savage expressed doubts about the feasibility of a one-year loan deal, stating that it wouldn’t make sense for either party, despite the short-term potential benefits of winning the European Cup. He believes such a move would harm Liverpool’s long-term financial prospects.
Instead, Savage envisions Mbappe staying at PSG for the current summer transfer window and subsequently making a move to Madrid in the following year.
The Champions League factor
Regarding the rumor of a loan deal with Liverpool, Savage questioned whether Mbappe would opt for a club not competing in the Champions League.
He emphasized that a player of Mbappe’s caliber would likely seek opportunities in top-tier European competitions.
While the player was also linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, Savage thinks that a Real Madrid transfer is the likeliest outcome.
“Arrogant” Mbappe won’t be joining Liverpool
The report highlighted that the main beneficiaries in this situation would likely be Mbappe himself and Real Madrid.
PSG’s former head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, who previously worked with the player in Paris, referred to him as “arrogant” (The Athletic) in a positive way.
Nevertheless, the report noted that PSG are partly to blame for creating this situation by providing the player with immense financial rewards and influence.
Ultimately, Mbappe is under contract with PSG, and if he chooses to fulfill it and then leave for free in 12 months, the report suggests he is not at fault.
PSG bear responsibility for the situation, given the terms they offered him. The report concludes with the notion of “reap what you sow,” implying that the club must accept the consequences of their decisions.
Robbie Savage’s witty and insightful analysis provides an informative perspective on the potential transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool on a loan deal.
He highlights the possible implications for both clubs and the player himself while shedding light on PSG’s role in the situation.
