Liverpool remain in touch with the entourage of PSG star Kylian Mbappe
Liverpool have maintained continuous contact with the entourage of Kylian Mbappe, indicating a lingering interest in the world-class striker. As Mbappe’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain approaches its conclusion at the end of the season, speculation about his future destination intensifies, with Real Madrid often linked as the leading contenders.
L’Equipe via ECHO report that Mbappe is leaning towards moving away from Paris Saint-Germain as his contract ends at the end of this season (Transfermarkt).
“The courtship that the Reds paid to the striker when he was still in Monaco has never been forgotten and neither have the discussions in the shareholders’ private plane. And if [Real Madrid manager] Carlo Ancelotti is a popular coach, so is Jurgen Klopp.”
The report highlights Liverpool’s persistent connection with Mbappe, dating back to their earlier courtship when the French striker was still with Monaco. The discussions during this period, even aboard shareholders’ private planes, have reportedly left a lasting impression. While the prospect of Mbappe donning the Liverpool jersey may seem improbable, the ongoing communication between the club and his representatives adds an intriguing layer to the narrative of the 24-year-old joining the Reds.
Despite Real Madrid’s perennial interest and Mbappe’s association with some of the most prominent footballing names, Liverpool remains a potential destination, at least in mere speculation. The admiration for the French striker does not remain confined to his on-field prowess; it extends to the professional rapport between the club and his entourage if L’Equipe’s words are anything to go by.
What if Mbappe actually joins the Reds?
In the footballing world, where financial considerations often play a pivotal role, Liverpool’s adherence to a budget-conscious approach is well-documented. The club’s wage structure is a reflection of their commitment to fiscal responsibility and not overpaying players like another red-wearing team in the Premiership. Mbappe, whose reported weekly wage at Paris Saint-Germain is £650,000, would undoubtedly command significant financial resources.
Mbappe embracing a more modest wage could resonate positively with the Anfield faithful. Even though there are little doubts that whatever potential amount of money he agrees to in case he signs with Liverpool would not be modest by any means, it is rather the fact that he would accept a wage cut to embrace Merseyside which would surely appeal to the fans, and to a great extent.
