Reds could still lose out with Ronaldo's arrival in attack

After Cristiano Ronaldo's controversial statements a few days ago and seeing how the whole environment surrounding him at Manchester United has begun to exclude him down to the smallest detail, the possibility that his next destination is located at Anfield has begun to be discussed, a situation that benefits Jurgen Klopp with an experienced man in the Premier League, but at the same time hurts him as his group plans would be affected.

Until before the Red Devils panicked at the words of their Portuguese attacker, the Old Trafford outfit had no firm intention of looking for Ronaldo's replacement as a matter of urgency, but in recent hours and with Cr7 away from England for the World Cup in Qatar, a rumour has emerged that Kylian Mbappé could soon be wearing red and defending the Manchester United outfit.

Evidently that rumour quickly reached the ears of everyone at Anfield, and the idea of PSG's French gem arriving at their rivals while they get a viable player of Mbappé's quality has Jurgen Klopp worried and worried about the outcome of this story, as the German tactician had expressed his desire to have the World Cup winner in his coffers from the start.

If Liverpool really intend to bet all their cards on signing Bellingham for the next few transfer windows, the possibility of getting the French gem from PSG would be somewhat complicated, and even more so if United launch an offer that would be difficult to refuse, because while Anfield would be plagued with attackers if Cristiano Ronaldo is added, in Manchester the Frenchman would be the main reference point.

The oppressive and controversial signing of Mbappé could be a direct response from United to their two most direct Premier League rivals, for while Manchester City currently have a formidable squad led by Norwegian Erling Haaland, Liverpool are rumoured to be looking to sign Jude Bellingham and Kylian himself, with Mohamed Salah supporting them for the time being.
