The link between Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool is one that can trace its thread back to 2017.
French newspaper L'Equipe claimed at the time that Mbappe, then at AS Monaco, had even spent time on a private jet with Liverpool principal owner and Fenway Sports Group supremo John Henry where the potential for the Frenchman to join the Reds was allegedly discussed.
Nothing materialised and since then Mbappe has gone on to command his place atop of the global football list when it comes to his value and marketability. Alongside Neymar Jr and Lionel Messi, he forms one part of a potent Paris Saint-Germain attack which has been put together by the open wallet policy of owners Qatar Sports Investments.
