Kylian Mbappe would like to play for Liverpool, TalkSPORT has been told by French football expert Julien Laurens.

Mbappe has spoken very positively about Liverpool to the press recently, and the French forward apparently means what he says about Jurgen Klopp’s side.

He is claimed to be ‘in awe’ of Liverpool’s style of play and success, and if the Reds could finance a move then a switch to Anfield would apparently be a realistic possibility.

“If you ask Mbappe now about Liverpool he’s, ‘wow, it’s amazing what they do. The club is incredible. They’ve got an amazing team’,” Laurens said.

“The future of Kylian Mbappe is up in the air because PSG will say, ‘okay you don’t want to extend your deal so we are going to sell you next summer’. There will be two clubs who he will be really keen on.

“Real Madrid are his dream, but Liverpool very much will be in the conversation for him and his family because he’s really in awe of what they are doing and what they are building. He spoke on the record of how good they’ve been.

“I think he used the word ‘machine’. I certainly think he will really fancy playing for a club like Liverpool if there was an opportunity there.”

Of course, affording the fee for Mbappe, who was hailed as ‘world-class by Brazilian legend Kaka (Telegraph India), is more easily said than done for Liverpool.

PSG would likely demand a world record transfer sum for the 20-year-old, who is widely regarded as the heir to the throne, once Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo retire.

Mbappe’s future is currently coming under question as he has just two years left on his contract at PSG, and he is yet to sign new terms.

PSG will surely not want to risk losing him on a free if he still hasn’t penned a new contract next summer, and that could be when Liverpool press on with a move in an attempt to bring him to Anfield.
