Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed details of the club’s “most expensive non-transfer” when they tried to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco in the summer of 2017.
All of Europe’s top sides were keen on the France international after he announced he wanted to leave the Ligue 1 side and Klopp led a club delegation to the south of France in a clandestine attempt to persuade the then 18-year-old to move to Anfield.
