Tremendous agreement for Mbappé, Liverpool has an ace up its sleeve to bring in the world football star

Liverpool is now heading into a tough FA Cup clash against Arsenal this weekend, as it looks to balance another competition after progressing in the Carabao Cup, Europa League and topping the Premier League standings. The Reds could hardly have got a harder tie.

The manic Christmas period is now over, with wins recorded against West Ham United, Burnley and Newcastle United, as well as draws against Arsenal and Manchester United, as the club now looks ahead to maintaining their momentum throughout 2024. But the games continue to come thick and fast.

A key determinant of how well Liverpool does for the remainder of the campaign could be whether or not the Reds can do any business during the month of January. Jürgen Klopp really needs an addition to bolster his defense which has been plagued by injury throughout the 2023/24 campaign. Joël Matip is in the middle of a lengthy period on the sidelines, while the likes of Ibrahima Konaté and Joe Gomez have both suffered previous setbacks earlier on in the season.

Paris Saint Germain star Kylian Mbappé has agreed to sacrifice a loyalty bonus worth in the region of $87m (£69m/€80m), according to Caught Offside, in order to help out the Ligue 1 side. But he could still depart the French capital this summer, with the waived payment essentially in exchange for a lack of a transfer fee if he departs as a free agent.

Kylian Mbappé agrees to sacrifice 87 mdd

Mbappé, who had previously been axed from the PSG squad throughout the summer after failing to agree on a one-year extension, was then reintegrated into the squad for the 2023/24 campaign, with an $87m loyalty bonus being handed to the player after he remained at the club after the summer transfer window. It was a payment that Mbappé agreed to sacrifice in a bid to secure a move away from the club next summer.
