Kylian Mbappe’s club after summer transfer window: Interviews, Speculations, Odds

Kylian Mbappe, 22, became an international sensation after a stunning performance during the 2018 World Cup. He was the first teenager to score in a World Cup final in decades. The France international scored 87 goals and created 49 assists in his 148 club appearances for AS Monaco UEFA U19, AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain. On an international level, Mbappe scored 20 goals in his 46 games for France U17, France U19 and France national team. Mbappe reached 100 career goals aged 20 years and 173 days, while Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored their 100th career goals at age 22. Considering those facts, we can suggest that everything is still ahead for the talented player. Any football club would like to see him at his squad; however, not every club can afford to pay huge money for the player. Mbappe is the world’s most valuable player, his price tag stands at 218.5 million euros. “It's a very important moment for me, I come to a turning point in my career. I have discovered a lot here, and I feel it is perhaps the moment to have more responsibility. I hope that can maybe be at Paris Saint-Germain, that would be a great pleasure, or perhaps elsewhere with a new project,” Mbappe said at the award ceremony when he picked up his Ligue 1 Player of the Year award, at the beginning of June. A few days later PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi insisted Mbappe will remain at the club beyond this summer. "I'm 200 per cent sure that he will be at PSG next season," the club's president told France Football. As Mbappe hinted that he may want to move away from the Parc des Princes let’s take a look where he will end up. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United are the clubs that can afford to sign the PSG star. Barcelona, are looking to bring back Neymar, so the Catalan giants are not interested in signing the 20-year-old. Juventus have Cristiano Ronaldo and are not likely to sign another star player. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola announced, they will make one or two signings and the Catalan specialist will look to solve problems in defence. Real Madrid are known as the side, which likes to sign superstars. They have already signed Eden Hazard, Eder Militao, Rodrygo, Forlan Mendy and Luka Jovic. Los Blancos are still in the market and they could sign Mbappe. Manchester United have many problems to solve as they finished sixth in the Premier League last season and failed to qualify for Champions League. Kylian Mbappe would be a great addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. However, another Premier League side has been linked with the France international. Champions League winners Liverpool have been linked with a move for the 20-year-old, but speculations came from the Reds fans. Which club will be Kylian Mbappe’s next permanent club after the summer transfer window? Manchester United Manchester United have been linked with Mbappe 10 months ago, when Jose Mourinho was in charge at the club. According to The Mirror , the Red Devils enquired about the possibility of signing the French forward but PSG responded by insisting that they would not sell Mbappe at any price. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s links to the player, comes as United look to rebuild their squad ahead of next season. With Romelu Lukaku being tipped to move on, the Red Devils are after a marquee name to lead their attack. United legend Ryan Giggs revealed the last year that he had watched Mbappe in action and had been very impressed with his performances. He even urged the club’s transfer chiefs to go all out to get the teenager. However, Mbappe joined PSG. However, Mbappe will look to join the club which has a more experienced manager and definitely he will not join the club, which is playing in the Europa League. Vbet estimates the chances of United to sign Mbappe at 26.00. Moreover, odds for Newcastle United is also 26.00. Sky Sports Liverpool One week ago, no one will have a thought that Champions League winners Liverpool will look to sign Mbappe. They spent over £240m in 2018. Jurgen Klopp needs to replace Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno; however, there is a buzz over Mbappe, The Times journalist, Paul Joyce, who covers Liverpool and Everton as well as the England national team, has retweeted Mbappe’s latest tweet, after which Red’s fans took that as a hint that the rising star might be on his way to Liverpool. Next day, Mbappe followed Fabinho, Mo Salah, Steven Gerrard and Philippe Coutinho on Instagram, where he also posted a message which simply read: “Soon” Mbappe said Jurgen Klopp is a good manager and when asked what team he will choose while playing FIFA, Frenchman motioned Liverpool. “Liverpool, because they won Champions League,” Mbappe told ESPN. Jamie Carragher sent Liverpool fans into meltdown with a tweet regarding Kylian Mbappe joining the Reds. Carragher retweeted a post on social media stating the Paris Saint-Germain had come to an agreement over the striker. His retweet read: “BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool agree fee with PSG to sign Kylian Mbappe.” The original post came from an account called ‘SKY SPORTS NEWS’ with the TV channel’s logo as the profile picture. The account was lacking the blue verification tick signalling the source to be reliable and genuine. The parody account was later suspended which means the tweet is no longer available to view. Mbappe would like to join Champions League winners and play under a manager like Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool boss hinted he could be about to splash the cash at the club this summer transfer window. “Liverpool is an ambitious club and if we didn’t spend the same amount of money as others, we wouldn’t be able to compete,” said Klopp. “Everybody’s splashing the cash, so we have to do the same.” It remains to be seen, whether Klopp meant that they would sign the 20-year-old. Vbet estimates the chances of Liverpool to sign Mbappe at 7.00. Real Madrid Real Madrid remain interested in bringing Mbappe to Bernabeu and lining him alongside Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema. Don Balon reports that Florentino Perez has sent club representatives to meet with Mbappe’s family and agent to let them know that the Spanish club will wait until the end of the transfer window in August with a bid of €250 million. Mbappe has stated he admires Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid boss. "The only one who has impressed me as much as Pele is Zidane," Mbappe told the French magazine France Football. Zidane also a huge fan of the PSG superstar, but it would seem that a deal for Mbappe will have to wait until the summer of 2020. According to AS, Perez decided to sign the player in 2020, next year, they would be willing to offer him a net salary of 15 million euros. Real Madrid are the most likely destination for the 20-year-old. The odd for Real Madrid by Vbet is 3.50.
