Last summer, French international Kylian Mbappe came close to moving to Real Madrid, but he ultimately decided to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
However, he had already decided to leave the club at the end of this season, and in February of this year, he submitted his intentions to President Nasser Ghanim Al-Khelaifi.
The 25-year-old striker is now close to a move to Real Madrid again, but his senior French teammate, Lens-born midfielder Robert Pires, who was a legend at Arsenal during his playing days, has recommended that the younger player play at Anfield.
“I’m sorry Kylian, you weren’t the first to say no to Real Madrid,”
“I don’t know what decision he will make, but I rejected Real because I had two other options. Surely if I didn’t have Arsenal and Juve, I would have gone straight to Real. That is sure.”
“I would like to see him at Liverpool. It’s a great club, family, good structure, no pressure, calm fans… And I tell myself that Mbappe and [Mohamed] Salah could be quite explosive. I think he is capable of rejecting Real Madrid.”
