Liverpool thrash Newcastle United as they make love to Mbappe to sign him as a star

The outcome of the Kylian Mbappé soap opera does not seem, a priori, to be in a hurry, despite the fact that Real Madrid are not going to wait for him until May as in 2022 and although in France it is assured that his renewal or his departure from PSG will be known before the end of the season. As of Monday, January 1, the captain of the French national team, as was the case just two years ago, is free to negotiate with the team he wants, so the speculation regarding his future is multiple, despite the unpolluted silence maintained by the player and his entourage.

Everything indicates that the race, in the end, will be between Real Madrid and PSG, but we should not rule out a third party, Liverpool, among the variants of Kylian Mbappé. As Le Parisien reported, the Reds are an alternative for the Bondy star, especially after Salah's likely departure in the summer for Saudi Arabia. Anfield dream of seeing the striker in England, as almost happened in 2017, after Klopp personally spoke to the player and tried to persuade him.

The Champions League, in which PSG are still involved and in which they will face Real Sociedad in the last 16 in February and March, could play a fundamental, if not definitive, role in Mbappé's decision. After a turbulent summer, in which he was dropped after sending a letter notifying that he would not renew until 2025, the relationship between the two sides has been put back on track and optimism, albeit without being overblown, has grown in the French capital as the months have gone by.

Mbappé closing in on Liverpool

Liverpool are aware that it is very difficult to convince Mbappé, especially given the insistence of his suitors, but they will take every opportunity, no matter how small, to enter the bidding to sign him.
