When Kylian Mbappe’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires this summer, it is apparently possible that he may move to Liverpool, which would be a huge blow to Real Madrid.
As he approaches the last six months of his PSG contract, the 25-year-old French sensation will be able to officially begin talks with overseas teams on January 1.
Real has long been seen as the front-runner to capture Mbappe on a free transfer.However, a report published on Le Parisien claims that Liverpool is ‘the most credible and dangerous candidate’ for PSG, who clearly want him to stay longer.
Jurgen Klopp appears to be unyielding in his pursuit of one of the best players in the world, and Mbappe is ‘not indifferent’ to heading to Anfield, according to the French publication.

Saudi Pro League sides are apparently vying for Mohamed Salah, whose Liverpool contract expires in 2025. According to reports, Liverpool “dreams” of replacing Salah with Mbappe.
According to Le Parisien, Liverpool see Mbappe as the kind of marquee acquisition they will need to make in order to stay up with Manchester City in the future.
However, the publication was also quick to point out that Mbappe would be foolish to leave PSG because everything at the Parc des Princes is customized to suit his requirements.
Real’s strategies may not even be able to pay his salary, and there is doubt that they would achieve the intended outcome.
After Mbappe’s mother Fayza Lamari resigned as his agent, the transfer issue took a new turn.
When the French player approaches the last six months of his Paris Saint-Germain contract, she is anticipated to be a key player in determining his destiny.
FIFA’s new agent restrictions meant that Lamari was no longer representing her kid, according to a report published in the Spanish newspaper Marca back in October.

The body in charge of overseeing world football intended to put in place a licensing system for player agents that would regulate the percentage of commission they could make from wages and transfer fees.
Marca stated that she could not participate in talks regarding Lamari’s relocation because he was no longer included in FIFA’s Agent Directory.
However, FIFA froze the licensing requirement, therefore Lamari can now represent Mbappe, according to Spanish site Relevo.
Though additional exam sessions are scheduled for May and November 2024, those agents who failed the challenging exams have been granted a temporary reprieve.
“Unless they conflict with the mandatory rules of the law applicable in their territory, we recommend that all member associations temporarily suspend the equivalent of their national football agent regulations,” a FIFA statement said.
“FIFA is adamant that they are a tool required, appropriate, and compliant with all applicable laws to address systemic flaws in the global transfer system.”
With six months remaining on his PSG contract, Mbappe is free to speak with overseas clubs
Mbappe is expected to sign for Real but PSG reportedly don’t believe they can afford him
Real Madrid gave Mbappe until the middle of January to determine what to do next, according to a report published this week in The Athletic.
According to the same source, several PSG employees think Real Madrid won’t be able to pay the forward what he wants.
Mbappe would want to be paid twice as much as the club’s present stars if he were to come to the Bernabeu, which may cause friction in the locker room.
Since joining PSG, Mbappe has made 288 appearances and scored 233 goals.
