According to a shocking rumor, Liverpool is confident they can finalize a fantastic deal for Kylian Mbappe next summer. Mbappe will become a free agent at the end of the current campaign.

After being strongly linked to leaving the Parisians this summer, Mbappe’s future at PSG has become more and more hazy. Real Madrid was reportedly considering a move for the French forward, but Al-Hilal put in a world record bid of £257 million. 

After a falling out with the club, the former World Cup winner was even sent to play for PSG’s B-team. However, under manager Luis Enrique, he is currently back in the starting lineup.

Although the player and the team have maintained “peaceful relations” since being reinstated in August, it is still unknown whether he will sign a contract extension before the season ends. However, L’Equipe reports that the idea of an extension “is not being ruled out.”

The story goes on to suggest that Liverpool, who have “never broken contact with the player’s entourage” since a botched attempt to sign Mbappe in 2017, are holding out hope that they may profit from the uncertainty surrounding his future.
