Premier League giants Liverpool are closely monitoring PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe’s situation at the Parc des Princes amid the transfer speculation around the World Cup winner.

Liverpool transfer news: Reds to make an attempt to sign Mbappe

However, signing Mbappe won’t be easy for the 13-time European Champions as Liverpool are ‘going to give everything’ in their push to sign the PSG attacker. Reds head coach Jurgen Klopp has been following Mbappe since 2016 and made a move for him the following year. But it was PSG who were then able to negotiate a loan move for Mbappe from AS Monaco in 2017 before making his transfer a permanent one in 2018.

Klopp has been in ‘direct contact’ with Mbappe since then. Earlier this year, in May, Mbappe confessed his admiration for Liverpool by labelling Klopp’s team as a “winning machine”. Reports from L’Equipe claim that PSG are preparing a new contract extension for Mbappe but it remains to be seen whether he will opt to sign a new deal amid the transfer speculation.
