It would be the best signing of the year, Liverpool's hush-hush negotiations to sign Mbappe revealed

The 'Kylian Mbappé movie', which is on its way to becoming an extended version during these months, continues to add chapters as the Frenchman continues to ponder his decision. Back to the 2022 scenario... with the same outcome? Back then, just after signing his new contract until 2024 with PSG to Madrid's astonishment, Mbappé revealed to the Telegraph that he had not only had previous talks with Real Madrid, but also with Liverpool.

As he confessed, because of the backing of his mother, Fayza Lamari, who also acts as his adviser and is an avowed supporter of the team. "I spoke to Liverpool because it's my mum's favourite club, my mum loves Liverpool - I don't know why, you'll have to ask her!" he revealed, with his mother by his side (who laughed to hear him), to the English media outlet in the round of interviews he gave following his decision. "It's a good club and we met them five years ago. When I was in Monaco I knew them. It's a great club," he re-emphasised. In fact, the Times recently reported that Bondy had not even batted an eyelid at Real Madrid's ultimatum and was considering the option of the Premier League.

Despite the difficulty of the operation, the Reds are working quietly. The possible departure of Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabia would be another incentive to woo Mbappé. Firstly, financially. The Egyptian, franchise player of Liverpool's last brilliant season, has a contract expiring in July 2025, so this summer would be the last one in which Anfield would get a juicy consideration for the departure of the right winger, for whom they are drinking the winds in the Saudi Pro League, with Al Ittihad as the leading exponent. In short, a source of funding to meet the Frenchman's wage demands.

Liverpool is the best option for Mbappe

Last summer, he was already unsuccessfully approached for a contract, according to the championship's director, Michael Emenalo. Secondly, in sporting terms, without Salah, Mbappé, who has flattered Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp on several occasions, would take over as the franchise player at Anfield. "Of course we are interested in Mbappé, we are not blind. But we are not going to sign him, we cannot be part of these battles. There must be other clubs involved and that's fine. He is a great player," Klopp replied, in his own peculiar style, before Mbappé renewed with PSG. Uncertainty is being served.
