Jurgen Klopp explains Liverpool’s Kylian Mbappe problem as Real Madrid prepare move

The future of PSG star Kylian Mbappe remains in the balance with Spanish giants Real Madrid favourites to sign the striker after he turned down a move to Saudi Arabia

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has outlined the financial obstacles that have likely scuppered the club’s hopes of making a shock move for Kylian Mbappe.

The future of the 24-year-old has been the subject of intense speculation ever since he expressed his desire to leave France at the end of next season. However, furious at the prospect of losing the player they paid £166 million for on a free, the Ligue 1 champions have instead opted to try and sell him this summer.

PSG bosses were left fuming though after Mbappe refused to talk to Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal, despite their world record £259million bid being accepted. It now leaves Real Madrid as the clear frontrunners, with many in the French capital believing the forward already has an agreement in place to join them in 2024.

Unsurprisingly, there is understood to be Premier League interest, with Liverpool among those in the frame. Mirror Football exclusively reported that the Reds had made an enquiry over signing Mbappe on a season-long loan deal. The 2018 World Cup winner has made no secret of his admiration for the club and manager Klopp, while his mother, Fayza Lamari, is a big Liverpool fan.
