Liverpool seems to have shifted its focus away from pursuing Kylian Mbappe in the upcoming summer transfer window. The 24-year-old PSG attacker faced a tumultuous start to the 2023-24 season but has since regained his place in the squad, impressing with 14 goals in 12 Ligue 1 appearances.
Despite a significant update reported by German journalist Florian Plettenberg, it appears that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool is not actively seeking Mbappe’s signature. The Reds concentrated on midfield reinforcements in the recent transfer window, addressing the void left by the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
Liverpool welcomed four key additions to their midfield, including Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo. In the current landscape, capturing Mbappe doesn’t seem to be a top priority for the Merseysiders.
Speculation surrounds Mbappe’s potential move, with Real Madrid emerging as the leading contender for the French star’s services. The La Liga giants, led by Carlo Ancelotti, are reportedly determined to secure Mbappe’s signature, preparing a compelling offer for the 2018 World Cup winner.
Real Madrid aims to build a formidable attacking lineup, compensating for the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. The 14-time European champions are said to be crafting an offer for Mbappe that PSG might find too enticing to refuse.
While the Saudi Pro League had previously shown interest, with Al Hilal reportedly having a €300m bid accepted in the summer, Mbappe rejected the move. As Liverpool continues its season, focusing on both European and domestic competitions, Mbappe’s future remains uncertain, with Real Madrid positioned as the likely destination if he decides to leave PSG.
