Kylian Mbappe has told Real Madrid to replace Carlo Ancelotti with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to secure a transfer for the Paris Saint-Germain star, according to El Nacional.
Los Blancos remain keen to take Mbappe to Spain, with his PSG contract expiring in June. The Galacticos had courted his signature in the summer, but Les Parisiens refused to sell.
Despite The Guardian reporting Real Madrid offered Paris Saint-Germain €200m (£171m) for Mbappe. A small profit on the €180m (£154m) they paid Monaco after his loan in 2018.
Mbappe now has reservations about joining Real Madrid on a free transfer when his PSG deal expires with Ancelotti there. As the 2018 World Cup winner is disappointed with how Los Blancos have performed under the former Everton manager.
So, he hopes Galacticos President Fiorentino Perez will listen to his calls to replace the Italian. And Mbappe has a replacement in mind for Real Madrid in Liverpool boss Klopp.
Mbappe did not hesitate to recommend Klopp to Real Madrid as he would be delighted to play for the Liverpool manager. He adores the German’s attacking footballing philosophy, with space for players of his calibre to exploit.
Real Madrid also admire Klopp, and Perez feels the Liverpool coach can mark a new era for the Liga giants. But poaching him from the Reds is considered an almost impossible task.
Could Liverpool lose Klopp to Real Madrid, amid their Mbappe transfer plans?
Real Madrid could try to poach Klopp from Liverpool to secure a free transfer for Mbappe when his Paris Saint-Germain contract expires.
Perez also has doubts over Ancelotti as he has failed to fulfil promises of playing attacking football. Los Blancos are also becoming overly reliant on Karim Benzema, while fans have started to turn on the Italian.
The Galacticos may, then, see Klopp as a saviour, with a respect for his titles with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund. But the German – who also reportedly wants Mbappe at Anfield – is unlikely to leave, at least before his contract expires.
Klopp’s contract with Liverpool also does not expire until 2024, and told Bild in August:
“There’s no point in adding anything, because it’s still so long gone. How should I know what’s in three years?
“If 2024 is over for me in Liverpool, then there will be a year’s vacation first.”
