The chances of Liverpool winning the race to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer have once again been talked up, with reports in France outlining the huge admiration the superstar forward has for Jurgen Klopp and how long-established contact between the two men could yet play a crucial role in the transfer saga.
The 25-year-old has entered the final six months of his contract with PSG and speculation over where he might play next is beginning to swirl. Regarded as one of, if not the, best players in the world, demand for Mbappe is high. But then any club who manages to land on the World Cup winner will also be paying a premium price to boot.
To that end, Mbappe has been strongly linked with Real Madrid for a number of years, having trialled with them as a teenager and prior to his signing for Monaco as a talented 14-year-old back in 2013.
