Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted the club are ‘interested’ in signing Kylian Mbappe as speculation over his Paris Saint-Germain future rumbles on. Mbappe is expected to leave PSG on a free transfer this summer, and Liverpool are one of the clubs credited with a desire to secure his services.
The 23-year-old superstar has confirmed he has almost decided where his future lies, and Real Madrid are understood to be ‘more optimistic and confident than ever’ in their bid to snap him up. But Liverpool are reportedly in the frame, and their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple has cemented the current crop as one of the best in Europe.
And while Klopp has admitted Liverpool ‘like’ Mbappe, he has accepted that it’s unlikely the Reds can compete with the financial package on the table in Paris and Madrid. He told reporters: “Of course, we are interested in Kylian Mbappe; we are not blind! I have nothing to say about [the reported contact] between Kylian and Liverpool.”
“It’s all set; it’s all fine,” Jurgen Klopp explained. “We, of course, like him, and if you don’t like him, then you have to question yourself. But no, we are not; we cannot be part of these battles. There must be other clubs involved, and that is fine. He is a great player.”
