Kylian Mbappe’s future has dominated headlines after he chose to stay at PSG over a move to Real Madrid, but the forward has confirmed he had talks with Liverpool.
Liverpool have readily been linked with the prolific forward, as far back as his time with Monaco, and Jurgen Klopp acknowledged “we’d have to question ourselves” if the Reds were not interested.
And Mbappe has now confirmed that Liverpool did enter the fray as the Frenchman weighed up his future, having been set to become a free agent this summer.

“I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool.
“It’s a good club and we met them five years ago.

“Of course we are interested in Kylian Mbappe, we are not blind!” Klopp told reporters earlier this month.
