French international Kylian Mbappé, who has been one of the best goal-scoring forwards since his teenage years, emerged at AS Monaco and joined top French club Paris Saint-Germain in 2018. At the club, he has scored 229 goals and provided 100 assists in 277 games, a tremendous number.
The 24-year-old striker, who agreed to a one-year contract renewal through June 2024, could be on his way out next summer, with Real Madrid and other top clubs reaching out to him.
According to Record Sport, both Liverpool and Arsenal have begun discussions on the financial and sporting merits of a possible free transfer for the French forward. The report also said that the player admires coach Jurgen Klopp’s style of play.
Real Madrid, who have been trying to bring him in, including during his time at Monaco, have been cautious about whether or not they will make another move. However, Real Madrid is still Mbappé’s club of choice and can offer a salary comparable to PSG’s, which gives them the advantage.
For the Premier League clubs to outperform the contenders, Real Madrid would have to take off. It would be difficult for them to make an attractive offer in terms of money, much less offer Liverpool the same amount as their current salary.
In addition, he does not have the combination of intensity that Klopp is looking for. He has maximum firepower when attacking, but he also has many characteristics that do not fit Liverpool’s style of play, such as pressing from the front, immediate recoveries, and stamina.
He is undoubtedly the best replacement for Mohamed Salah, but the balance of the team makes it difficult to actually welcome him into the team. Even if there is a chance to make an offer in front of him, it is unlikely that he will take concrete action.
What kind of career will the young Frenchman, who has now become one of the best strikers in the world, have in the future…?
