Liverpool have been given a boost in their attempts to sign Kylian Mbappe, with Real Madrid struggling to generate funds, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Paris Saint-Germain superstar has been consistently linked with a summer exit, with the Reds and Madrid appearing to be the front-runners for his signature.
Mbappe’s current PSG deal expires at the end of next season, so selling him this summer could be the last chance for the Ligue 1 champions to earn a mammoth fee for his services.
This latest report claims that Madrid want to offload Eden Hazard and Vinicius Jr, in order to be able to afford the Frenchman, but there could be a lack of suitors for the pair.

Should Liverpool’s interest in Mbappe be genuine, they will take any possible advantage over Madrid.
Both Zinedine Zidane’s side and Barcelona no longer have the financial clout they once did, making it hard for them to bring in the world’s elite.
Mbappe will cost an astronomical fee if Liverpool want to make a bid, but 106 goals and 59 assists, in just 147 PSG appearances, speak volumes about his pedigree.
At 22, he has the ability to be one of the best players on the planet for the next decade, with his unstoppable pace and end product making him tailor-made to succeed under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
