Speculation surrounds Kylian Mbappe’s future, with reports now suggesting a potential move to Liverpool instead of Real Madrid as his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the current campaign.
Despite longstanding interest from Real Madrid, there are indications that they are no longer in the leading position for Mbappe, with Liverpool emerging as a possible destination. In 2017, Mbappe considered a move to Anfield, even holding a two-hour meeting with Reds owner John W.

PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi expressed his desire for Mbappe to stay, emphasizing his crucial role in the team and the long-term vision for the club.
While Liverpool is attracted to the prospect of signing Mbappe on a free transfer, potential challenges arise, as his representatives reportedly demand a post-tax salary of Β£64.5 million per year (Β£1.24 million per week).
This figure poses a significant adjustment to Liverpool’s existing wage structure, with their current top earner, Mohamed Salah, earning around Β£350,000 per week.
