Kylian Mbappe has been linked with a move away from Paris Saint-Germain due to his expiring contract, with Liverpool interested.
Kylian Mbappe was expected to join Real Madrid next summer. But a report from the Spanish publication Sport has claimed that Real Madrid have now ruled out a move for the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, with Liverpool being best positioned to sign him.
The 24-year-old is a world-class player who has been linked with Liverpool in the last few years. It will be interesting to see if the Reds can secure his services in the coming months, especially with Real Madrid choosing not to pursue a Bosman move for next year.
Mbappe will be a free agent at the end of this season, and signing him in a Bosman move would be an exceptional bit of business. The French international is already one of the best players in the world, and he is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. Playing under Jurgen Klopp could help him improve further.
Liverpool could certainly use a top-class attacker like him, especially with Mohamed Salah expected to leave the club at the end of the season. The Egyptian international has a contract with Liverpool until the summer of 2025, and the Reds could look to sell him in the summer if he does not renew his contract with them.
Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly keen on signing the Egyptian international. Meanwhile, Mbappe could be a quality replacement for Salah, and he would help Liverpool improve in the final third. He will add pace, flair and goals to the side.
Furthermore, the French international is versatile enough to play anywhere across the front three and he could be an indispensable asset for Liverpool and Klopp in the coming seasons. Even though he might be available on a free transfer, he is likely to command massive wages, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can afford him.

The Reds should look to try and secure a pre-contract agreement with the player in January in order to avoid increased competition in the summer. It is fair to assume that Liverpool will have to secure Champions League qualification in order to sign a player of his quality. Mbappe will want to play for a club capable of challenging for major trophies consistently.
