The player who said yes to Liverpool because he wants to play alongside Mbappé

The World Cup in Qatar is the great global stage where the world's best players are watched by millions of fans asking their clubs to sign them, or extend their contracts. This first day of the group stage, we had a great football lesson, especially from the Netherlands who won in a resounding two-nil victory over Senegal who missed the star and former Liverpool FC legend Sadio Mané.

Continuing with Louis van Gaal's The Orange, we focus on 25-year-old midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who has already been given the thumbs up by the fans, to team up at Anfield, as he does with the national team when he comes up against Virgil van Dijk, our superstar captain.

De Jong would fit perfectly into Klopp's scheme, who is beginning to visualise the renewal of the midfield, and he knows that names like Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and James Miller are in their final years, and a new injection of youth would not come amiss, knowing that the Dutchman can cover any space on the pitch with the help of Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones, two promising players who are now a reality in the team.

And speaking of this renewal, the arrival of Kylian Mbappé on Merseyside would be the perfect piece in the jigsaw of the German coach who, in statements, admires the talent of the 23-year-old French striker. Reports from France revealed that people close to the former AS Monaco youngster are still unhappy at the capital club, despite being the highest paid, Mbappé is looking for new challenges and to win titles, such as the coveted Champions League.

<strong>De Jong ready to go to Anfield</strong>

Liverpool with its six European Cups is always a candidate for any player looking to move. With Mbappé in the ranks, de Jong would not think twice and take the first flight to England to join one of the best clubs in the world. These would undoubtedly be the stellar signings of the transfer market, to make it possible the Red's would have to pay 80 million, which is what Barcelona are asking for their jewel, and thus present an exhorbitant figure that would convince PSG.
