Liverpool rivals Real Madrid for Mbappe after starting talks with PSG

English press reports revealed that Liverpool FC entered into negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain in order to sign Kylian Mbappe during the current summer Mercato. Real Madrid is the favorite to sign Mbappe, although they will have competition from Liverpool, according to The Mirror. The Premier League giants have entered talks with PSG over a possible deal for the French international. Interestingly, Liverpool is only offering a loan deal for Mbappe, which would see him head to Merseyside for the 2023-24 season. This would allow PSG to generate some funds, while also opening the door for Mbappe to join Real Madrid next summer. The report indicated that the French star's links to the Reds would enrich the frontline depth of German coach Jurgen Klopp next season. Paris Saint-Germain had excluded its star Kylian Mbappe from his camp in Japan due to the player's refusal to sign a new contract with the club until 2025, the player wishes to leave the club for free in the summer of 2024.
