"World-class": Striker tells friends he wants to join Liverpool this summer, journalist claims

Duncan Castles has suggested on the Transfer Window Podcast that Kylian Mbappe has told friends he wants to join Liverpool. Mbappe has been heavily linked with the move away from PSG as his current contract with the French side is set to expire this summer. “Of the clubs that are looking at Mbappe, the ones he has an interest in are Manchester United, Liverpool in particular, Real Madrid and Barcelona,” Castles said. “Those are the four clubs he has identified as potential candidates. “I think Liverpool have an opportunity should they try to pursue it to try and convince Mbappe to come to them rather than Real Madrid, but the big question mark is are FSG prepared to spend the kind of money required to take him from PSG. “Not so much in the transfer fee, PSG have been indicating they would be looking for over 100 million euros this summer with one year to go. “But in terms of the wages Mbappe is looking for wages which would put them on a par with Neymar, if not above, and that would be way beyond Liverpool’s current structure. “He likes Liverpool as a club. He likes the Premier League and he likes Jurgen Klopp. I’m not saying it’s his first choice, but I’m saying he’s very clear with his friends that Liverpool is a club he’s interested in playing for.”
