Liverpool, one of the Premier League heavyweights, is reportedly ready to spend over €250 million in their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe.
The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar, who has also caught the attention of Real Madrid, is the target of Liverpool’s ambitious transfer plans.
Premier League giants willing to spend €250 million to sign Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe – Reports
PSG is demanding a fixed fee of €250 million and an additional €50 million in bonuses for Kylian Mbappe’s transfer this summer.
On the other hand, Real Madrid is not willing to exceed €200 million as the direct fee and €20 million as add-ons.
According to FIFA agent Marco Kirdemir, Liverpool is ready to meet PSG’s asking price.
Liverpool is ready to spend almost €300 million in total to secure the services of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner, Kylian Mbappe.
Kylian Mbappe has created uncertainty about his future by informing PSG that he will not be extending his contract. His current contract will expire in 2024.
This means he will be free to leave next summer.
PSG is not willing to let him go for free and would prefer to sell him during this summer transfer window.
Last summer, both Real Madrid and Liverpool were linked with an interest in Kylian Mbappe before he opted to renew his contract with PSG.
It remains intriguing to see which club will succeed in enticing the player away from Paris.
Liverpool dealt a blow on plans to sign Thuram
Liverpool have allegedly encountered a major setback in their transfer plans.
OGC Nice reportedly intends to retain midfielder Khephren Thuram for another season, dealing a blow to Liverpool’s pursuit of the player.
The Reds will advance in their midfield rebuild following the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Despite the absence of Champions League football, Mac Allister was undeterred and decided to join Liverpool.
The Argentina World Cup winner has signed a five-year contract with the club.
