Liverpool in for Kylian Mbappe! PSG see Premier League giants as 'most credible' candidates to sign star forward with Real Madrid's hardball transfer tactics set to backfire

According to Le Parisien, Jurgen Klopp's side are the 'most credible and dangerous candidate' to PSG, as Mbappe approaches the end of his current deal this summer.

Speaking on Liverpool's long-term interest in the player, L'Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi said: "Liverpool wanted him when he was playing for Monaco," he told talkSPORT.

"[Liverpool manager Jurgen] Klopp went to see him and they were negotiating while they were on the plane.

"The relationship between him, Liverpool, and Klopp is there. I think they have a chance."

While Liverpool are viewed as a threat, with Klopp reportedly tracking the player for the last nine years, they will face tough competition from Real Madrid, as both sides look to secure one of the highest profile free transfers in the history of the game. Los Blancos are reportedly set to offer the Frenchman €130m per season in an attempt to lure him to Spain.

Currently, Mbappe has provided PSG with no indication regarding his future, with the player either set to remain in the French capital or leave for nothing at the end of his deal.

Liverpool will have one eye on the transfer window currently but will also have to focus on a tough set of fixtures on the horizon. As they line-up to face Newcastle United and Arsenal in their next two games.
