A year ago, news of Kylian Mbappe potentially leaving Paris Saint-Germain would have sent the Liverpool fanbase into a frenzy.
The World Cup winner has regularly been linked with the Reds in recent years, stemming from Jurgen Klopp and FSG chief John W. Henry reportedly holding talks with the forward when he left Monaco for PSG, initially on loan, in 2017. Meanwhile, Mbappe himself revealed discussions were again held last year before he decided to sign an extension with the Parisians.
“We talked a little bit, but not too much. We talked a little bit,” he cautiously admitted to the Telegraph in May 2022, before referencing Liverpool’s first attempt to sign him. “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool. I don’t know why, you will have to ask her!”
