Kylian Mbappé finds himself at a crossroads, and the race for his future is heating up. Since becoming a free agent on January 1st, the French star can now enter negotiations for pre-contracts ahead of the next season, attracting attention from top European clubs.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has taken steps to convince their star player not to extend the additional season allowed by his contract. Meanwhile, Real Madrid continues its offensive to secure the talented French player. However, a formidable competitor has entered the fray – Liverpool.
According to 'Le Parisien,' Liverpool has joined the battle for Mbappé, who reportedly views a move to the Premier League positively. Real Madrid, having learned from past mistakes in 2022 when Mbappé ultimately renewed with PSG, is not willing to re-enter the game without clear terms. As reported by 'The Athletic,' the Spanish club has set a deadline for Mbappé to make a decision. He has a mere 15 days, as the Bernabéu has given him until mid-January to communicate his choice. With Liverpool now in the mix, the competition could intensify for Real Madrid.
'Le Parisien' suggests that the Premier League side is the "most credible and dangerous" candidate to secure Mbappé's services next season. Jurgen Klopp dreams of adding a star player to his roster, especially as Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's current top performer, could potentially depart for Saudi Arabia this summer. Salah's contract with the Reds, however, extends until 2025.
The French newspaper also does not rule out the possibility of Mbappé signing a new extension with PSG. According to their analysis, the Bondy-born player may not find a more suitable environment elsewhere. Additionally, the French media asserts that Real Madrid's aggressive tactics to acquire Mbappé have slim chances of success and may even prove counterproductive. The next few weeks will be crucial as the football world awaits Mbappé's decision and the unfolding drama between Real Madrid and Liverpool for the French sensation.
