Kylian Mbappe’s past praise for Klopp as Reds plan sensational PSG swoop
As the transfer rumors continue to swirl around Kylian Mbappe’s future, his past comments about Jurgen Klopp have resurfaced, fueling speculation about a potential move to Liverpool.
The 24-year-old star is set to depart Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent next summer after rejecting a new contract offer from the Parc des Princes outfit. While a move to Real Madrid seems likely, PSG is eager to offload him for the upcoming season, presenting an opportunity for Premier League clubs to secure his services on loan.
Recent reports from the Daily Mirror suggest that Liverpool has entered talks with the World Cup winner, contemplating a one-year loan deal in which the Reds would cover Mbappe’s wages to PSG. Encouraged by Mbappe’s previous admiration for the club and the fact that his mother is a Liverpool supporter, Jurgen Klopp’s side is exploring the possibility of landing the French sensation.
In 2020, Mbappe showered praise on Klopp’s Liverpool following their historic Premier League triumph, hailing them as a well-oiled machine. He acknowledged that their success was the result of relentless hard work and an excellent manager at the helm.
Similarly, Klopp has also expressed his admiration for Mbappe in the past, confessing his affection for the player both on and off the field. Back in 2018, ahead of a Champions League encounter, Klopp raved about the young forward’s exceptional talent, reminiscing how Mbappe had been impressing since his early days in Monaco’s youth teams.
With both Mbappe and Klopp showing mutual respect and admiration for each other, the possibility of them joining forces at Anfield adds an intriguing dimension to the transfer saga. As the football world awaits the outcome, Liverpool’s ‘sensational swoop’ for the PSG star continues to capture the attention of fans and pundits alike.
