According to ESPN, Mbappe, the star player for Paris Saint-Germain, will determine his club future in the next weeks. Real Madrid and Liverpool are thought to be the two most likely destinations for the captain of France.
The player is not expected to exercise his option for a one-year extension when his PSG contract expires in June. In exchange, he is permitted by the Bosman rule to discuss a summer transfer with other clubs.
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are rumoured to still be interested in the 25-year-old, although Madrid has long been seen as the front-runner to land the forward. The club came very close to doing so in May 2022.
Even if it is improbable that the Reds could pay Mbappe’s massive weekly salary of €650,000 (£558,920), the player might be persuaded to switch from La Liga to the Premier League in order to start a rivalry with Erling Haaland of Manchester City.
Most people agree that Mbappe and Haaland are the two best forwards in the world, and with Mbappe joining Liverpool, the two might continue the intense rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo.
Over the course of nearly ten years, Messi and Ronaldo—who between them have won thirteen Ballon d’Or awards—pushed one another to greatness while playing for Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively.
If Mbappe joins Liverpool, he will frequently face Haaland and City, which would intensify the rivalry between the players and teams, just as Messi and Ronaldo did for the previous generation.
However, ESPN asserts that Mohamed Salah’s future—who was the target of a verbal bid of £150 million from Saudi Arabia this summer—would probably be the focal point of any possible transfer to Liverpool.
Mbappe’s move to Merseyside may face significant obstacles due to timing, as he is rumoured to want to make a decision quickly.
Furthermore, Mbappe, the team’s record goal scorer, is reportedly still very much wanted by PSG.
They supposedly think that Luis Enrique’s successful debut season leading PSG to the top of Ligue 1 and the Champions League knockout stages will be sufficient to persuade him to stay.
