Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old French football superstar, is currently the subject of intense transfer rumors. Mbappé, who is in the final six months of his lucrative deal with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), signed in 2022, has made considerable financial sacrifices in anticipation of a possible exit. Despite PSG’s efforts to extend his contract, which included a significant loyalty incentive, Mbappé has stated a desire to quit the club, causing problems within the club. This predicament has piqued the interest of Liverpool, who, according to the English publication Mirror, are planning a bid for the player.

The issue deteriorated when Mbappé declined to sign a one-year contract extension with PSG, as expected. This rejection resulted in his removal from PSG’s Asian pre-season trip. Despite these concerns, Mbappé received an 80 million euro loyalty incentive for remaining with the club when the summer transfer market closed. Mbappé, however, has waived the first tranche of this bonus and is willing to forego the entire amount if he departs PSG this summer. Liverpool and Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on these developments, with Jurgen Klopp’s side emerging as a strong candidate for Mbappé’s signature.

Liverpool presently has a multitude of attacking skills in their squad, but Klopp has yet to replicate the Mane-Firmino-Salah magic. The Egyptian master Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Luis Daz, and Darwin Nez are now among Liverpool’s attacking alternatives. Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon are two other promising players on the team. Nunez has struggled to establish himself as a striker, while Jota has been plagued by injuries.

Mbappe’s probable 4-3-3 setup for Liverpool

Mbappé’s superb speed, clinical finishing, and ability to exploit spaces would fit in perfectly with Klopp’s high-pressing, fast-paced style. His versatility allows him to play as a typical number 9 as well as drift wide, creating space and possibilities for the wingers. This fluidity of movement would complement Salah and Daz, increasing Liverpool’s offensive variety.
