Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has confirmed that he held transfer talks with Liverpool before deciding to stay at the French club this summer.
Mbappe signed a new three-year deal with the French club at the weekend after snubbing Real Madrid to stay in Paris in what became one of the biggest transfer sagas in recent memory. Los Blancos had long-courted Mbappe over the past two years and saw numerous bids, the largest said to be worth €200m, rejected last summer. Madrid were confident that a deal would be agreed and reports broke last week that he had even agreed personal terms at the club. Liverpool had also been strongly linked with Mbappe and the forward has revealed that he did consider a move to Anfield, before deciding to u-turn and remain at PSG.
"We talked a little bit, but not too much. We talked a little bit," Mbappe told The Telegraph. The French international added that Liverpool actually had a stronger chance of signing him when he decided to leave Monaco before he joined PSG in 2017 aged 18. The French club signed him initially on loan before a €145m plus €35m in add ons permanent transfer a year later.
