Sources have claimed that the 26-year-old player has been a longtime admirer of Liverpool and the club manager Jurgen Klopp. Still, a move to Anfield could prove difficult to complete given that the club is unlikely to be able to afford his current wage package of around €650,000 per week.

While Mbappe may need to take a pay cut in order to make a move to Liverpool happen, he could receive a major signing bonus because of joining the club as a free agent. Any potential move is also expected to be influenced by Mohammed Salah, who was poached by the Saudi Pro League last summer.

PSG is ready to offer a new contract to Mbappe while the 25-year-old also has plenty of other options. La Liga giants Real Madrid are still keen on bringing him to Spain and are believed to be in contact with his representatives.

“I haven’t made my decision yet. I haven’t made a choice,” Mbappe told reporters after a 2-0 win over Toulouse in the French Super Cup. “With the agreement I had with the president in the summer, my decision is not important as we managed to protect all the parties and preserved the serenity of the club for the challenges to come, which is the most important. So we will say that it [the decision] is secondary.”

The relationship between Kylian Mbappe and PSG has been strained since the summer when the player refused to sign a new contract. At that point, the French club was ready to sell Mbappe and received an offer from a Saudi Arabia club. However, the player refused the move and ended up staying in France.

Mbappe doesn’t have much time to decide on his future, at least if he wants that future to include playing for Real Madrid. Reportedly, the Spanish club is expected to offer a contract to Mbappe in the near future but will give him a deadline of the end of January to decide whether he’ll accept it or not.

Mbappe previously informed the club that he won’t sign a new contract and will leave as a free agent next summer. PSG doesn’t want to allow this and wants to recoup €180 million they paid Monaco to acquire him back in 2017.

PSG remains firm in their stance that Mbappe must either sign a new contract with the club this summer or leave the club in a transfer. The player, on the other hand, isn’t interested in penning a deal that would keep him in Paris past the 2023-24 season.

It is believed that La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid is prepared to pay €200 million to PSG in order to get Mbappe during this transfer window. The Spanish club also had positive talks with the player’s entourage and believes he would be interested in the move.

Saudi Arabia side Al-Hilal is also interested in Mbappe, according to Fabrice Hawkins of RMCsport. Al-Hilal is also prepared to pay €200 million in transfer fees to PSG while giving the player a $400 million contract. They would also let him leave for Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.

“I do not have to try to convince Kylian [to stay],” Galtier stated on Friday ahead of PSG’s Ligue 1 match away at Brest on Saturday. “Concerning Kylian, Kylian is a PSG player and he shows it in every game. He has a great determination to succeed and to perform well in order to help bring the club up to as high a level as possible.”

Galtier went on to state that the disappointment that Mbappe expressed following the defeat is normal for any player after a tournament elimination and was not connected to any dissatisfaction at the club specifically.

Mbappe has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid and was widely expected to secure a move last summer with his contract set to expire. Instead, he signed a new three-year agreement with PSG.

Kingsley Coman scored early in the second half, refusing to celebrate out of respect for his former club. This goal proved enough as the visitors managed to shut out the PSG attack, dictating the flow of play throughout the game with 54% possession and 18 shots on goal compared to PSG’s nine.

This is the second time that Coman delivered the finishing blow in a clash between these two clubs. He scored the only goal in the 2020 Champions League final to hand the trophy to Bayern.

“We played really well in the first 25 minutes and the best team on the night won. It’s an important victory but there’s a second leg coming,” coach Julian Nagelsmann commented after the game.

PSG’s attack was bolstered with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the second half, who returns after picking up a hamstring injury on February 1. Prior to his arrival, PSG resorted to using 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery, who became the youngest player ever in a Champions League knockout game.

The two sides meet again at the Allianz Arena on March 8.

While Mbappe reportedly did not stay with his squad for the entirety of Sunday’s training session, he is expected to be a full participant in training on Monday.

Mbappe suffered a hamstring injury on February 1 during PSG’s 3-1 victory over Montpellier. Since then, the reigning Ligue 1 champions have struggled to find form, being eliminated from the French Cup by Marseille before losing 3-1 to Monaco in their latest Ligue 1 match.

“We need to do less talking, work hard, analyze things properly,” PSG coach Christophe Galtier reflected after his team’s latest defeat. “Of course, our players have their pride, so do I. Yes, we’re worried [about facing Bayern]. But we must keep a clear head.”

Although the team appears to be in desperate need of Mbappe’s firepower up front, Galtier insisted that his team will not take any risks by using Mbappe if he is not entirely fit enough to play.

In addition to scoring his first hat trick since the World Cup final, Mbappe became the player in PSG’s history to score five goals in a single competitive match. Now, Mbappe has 25 goals in 24 games this season and takes his club tally to 196; just four short of Edison Cavani’s PSG goalscoring record.

“We came here to respect this team by playing at our level. That’s what we did, and we’re very happy,” Mbappe stated after the win. “It was a great opportunity for them and also for us, because it’s a reminder for us that we come from amateur football, and it’s important to keep this link. Even if it’s only for one game.”

PSG coach Christophe Galtier kept his word by picking a strong squad despite the gulf in class between the two sides, with both Mbappe and Neymar making the cut. Lionel Messi was rested, however, ahead of the Ligue 1 game against Reims to be played on Sunday.

Theo Hernandez opened the scoring in the 5th minute, while Randal Kolo Muani doubled France’s lead in the 79th minute by tapping in a ball from Kylian Mbappe, who dribbled past four Morocco defenders in order to find space.

While France will look to become only the third team in history to win back-to-back World Cups, Argentina will look to win their first World Cup since 1986, thereby gifting Lionel Messi his first World Cup victory in what may be his final appearance on the world stage.

In addition to winning football’s ultimate prize, the Golden Boot Award also remains up for grabs, with both Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe tied at the top of the standings. While both players have five goals a piece, it is Messi who is in the first place due to his three assists compared to Mbappe’s two.

Kylian Mbappe found the back of the net on both occasions for the French, bringing his goal tally for the tournament to three. At present, Mbappe is at the top of the scoring charts.

Following a goalless first half in which both teams came close to scoring, France took the lead in the 61st minute as Mbappe played a quick one-two with left-back Theo Hernandez. The Danish hit back almost immediately, placing the French backline under continuous pressure which resulted in an Andreas Christensen equalizer just seven minutes later.

Despite France dominating proceedings from then on out, the game looked set to end in a deadlock until the 86th minute, when Mbappe found himself on the end of an Antoine Griezmann cross to restore the defending champions’ lead.

With this victory, France becomes the first reigning champions since 2006 to avoid elimination from the group stage. 2006 champions Italy were eliminated from the 2010 group stage, as were 2010 champions Spain in 2014 and 2014 champions Germany in 2018.

Despite concerns of muscular fatigue, Karim Benzema has been confirmed as a member of the World Cup squad. “He’s played an enormous amount, maybe too much at one point,” Deschamps explained, going on to say, “Karim knows that the World Cup is very important for him. He hasn’t refused to play for Real Madrid, he just wasn’t in top form. He’ll do everything to be ready for the 22nd [France’s first match].”

Manchester United center-back Raphael Varane has also been selected despite picking up a knee injury last month. According to reports, the World Cup winner is undergoing rehabilitation and his recovery is progressing smoothly.

23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe will headline France’s attack, while AC Milan forward Olivier Giroud has also been included. With 51 international goals to his name, Giroud is just two goals shy of Thierry Henry’s all-time national record.

Also traveling to Qatar will be 20-year-old Real Madrid rising star Eduardo Camavinga and Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe.
