Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old French football superstar, is the subject of heated transfer speculations at the moment. Mbappé, who is in the final six months of his lucrative 2022 contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has made significant financial sacrifices in preparation for a probable exit. Despite PSG’s efforts to extend his contract, which included a hefty loyalty incentive, Mbappé has expressed a desire to leave the club, generating internal conflict. This situation has sparked the interest of Liverpool, who are considering a bid for the player, according to the English daily Mirror.

Mbappé’s situation worsened when he refused to sign a one-year contract extension with PSG, as expected. This rejection led to his exclusion from PSG’s Asian pre-season tour. Despite these reservations, Mbappé received an 80 million euro loyalty bonus for staying with the club when the summer transfer window ended. Mbappé, on the other hand, has waived the first installment of this bonus and is willing to forfeit the entire sum if he leaves PSG this summer. Liverpool and Real Madrid are watching these events closely, with Jurgen Klopp’s side emerging as a major contender for Mbappé’s signing.

Liverpool currently boasts a plethora of attacking talent, but Klopp has failed to reproduce the Mane-Firmino-Salah magic. Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Luis Daz, and Darwin Nez are now among Liverpool’s attacking options. Other talented players on the team include Ben Doak and Kaide Gordon. Nunez has struggled to carve out a role as a striker, while Jota has been troubled by injuries.

Mbappe’s likely 4-3-3 formation vs Liverpool

Mbappé’s lightning-quick pace, clinical finishing, and ability to exploit spaces would be ideal for Klopp’s high-pressing, fast-paced style. His versatility allows him to play as a traditional number 9 while also drifting wide to create space and opportunities for the wingers. This fluidity of movement would compliment Salah and Daz, improving the offensive diversity of Liverpool.
