Transfer News: Liverpool on alert as Kylian Mbappe asks to leave PSG

According to transfer news from Liverpool Echo, Liverpool target Kylian Mbappe has asked to leave PSG. The French starlet has just a year left on his deal and a new contract is yet to be agreed. Liverpool and Real Madrid have been put on alert after he said that he wants to leave his current club.

Breaking through in 2016 at AS Monaco, the French starlet has grown into one of the best forwards in the game. Mbappe signed for PSG in 2017, initially on loan, with the deal being made permanent a year later. In his four years at the capital club, the 22-year-old has scored goals at a prolific rate, cementing his status as one of the finest young players in the world.

Now, the problem for PSG is that Mbappe’s current deal ends next year. Meaning he could agree to a pre-contract with any club in the winter transfer window. While they were able to tie down Neymar to a new deal, they seemingly cannot do the same with the World Cup winner.

Mbappe wants to leave PSG

Amidst all that, it is believed that Mbappe has asked PSG to let him leave. Daniel Riolo of RMC Sport has elaborated on the same.

“I know that Mbappe asked to leave, but it is complicated because first you have to find a club that has the money to pay him, but the news is that he really does not want to stay. The player does not believe in Leonardo’s project. If he does not leave this summer, it will be for free next season.
And in Doha [the capital of Qatar where PSG’s owners are based] they do not want to hear about it. If Mbappe expresses this desire to leave, it means that he will have to find a club and that PSG will need to look for a replacement. But yes, the news is that Mbappe does not want to stay at PSG.”

Hence, Liverpool have their ears perked up at the whole situation (h/t Liverpool Echo). Liverpool may already have a prolific attack but Kylian Mbappe is a whole different deal. A goal-scoring machine, Mbappe could have the capacity to change Liverpool into world-beaters. This could be the best chance they get to snap him and they cannot let it slip.
