Liverpool are reportedly considering a loan move for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Kylian Mbappe, a target for Real Madrid, this summer.
According to a report from Daily Mirror, Liverpool are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain regarding an audacious loan move for Kylian Mbappe. The 24-year-old Paris Saint-Germain attacker is also a target for Real Madrid.
Mbappe has been linked with a move away from PSG this summer, and he has refused to accept a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal. The Saudi Arabian outfit submitted a £259 million bid to sign the player. But the French international has refused to enter into transfer talks with them.
PSG are currently disappointed with his stance to not sign a new contract, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to let him leave on loan. Recent reports have claimed that Les Parisiens have put him up for sale.
Mbappe is in the final year of his contract with PSG, and he will be able to move on as a free agent next summer. But he has insisted that he will not depart from Parc des Princes this summer, as he wants to honour his contract, possibly to earn a hefty loyalty bonus.
It is believed that he wants to join Real Madrid as a free agent, and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to consider a loan move to Liverpool and the Premier League. The Reds could certainly use more quality in the final third, and Mbappe is one of the best players in the world.
The 24-year-old scored 41 goals across all competitions last season, and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition. Liverpool had a disappointing campaign last year, and they missed out on Champions League qualification. Signing a player like Mbappe without the Champions League could prove to be an uphill challenge. The 24-year-old will want to compete at the highest level.
The World Cup winner has previously been vocal about his admiration for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. Apparently, the player’s mother is a Liverpool fan, and it will be interesting to see if that gives the Reds an edge in the transfer race.
Liverpool are unlikely to be the only club keen on signing Mbappé if he is ready to move on this summer. A host of clubs have been linked with a move for the 2018 World Cup winner, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. But Real Madrid are his dream destination.
However, Real Madrid might not launch the offensive to secure his services this summer. Meanwhile, a loan deal might not be beneficial for PSG in any way. So it would be surprising if they decided to let the player leave this summer unless there is a substantial offer on the table.
