# Big blow for Liverpool as Kylian Mbappe set to see out PSG contract

Kylian Mbappe is set to see out his contract and remain at Paris Saint-Germain until 2022, according to [https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/liga-francia/mbappe-decidido-seguir-ano-mas-11520621](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/liga-francia/mbappe-decidido-seguir-ano-mas-11520621)*[Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/liga-francia/mbappe-decidido-seguir-ano-mas-11520621)*.

The Frenchman’s future has been a big talking point of late, with Liverpool and Real Madrid continually [linked](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-best-placed-for-signing-players-not-closing-future-avenues-renewal-more-complicated/) with signing him.

Leaving this summer would allow PSG to earn to a monumental fee for Mbappe, with the 22-year-old reluctant to sign a new deal at the Ligue 1 champions.

It is now being claimed that he will simply leave on a free transfer at the end of next season, however, before heading elsewhere.

This is an undoubted blow for Liverpool, who may have been second-favourites behind Madrid to sign Mbappe, but have still seemingly been eyeing him up.

It means Jurgen Klopp may now have to look elsewhere to make attacking reinforcements, with a big new signing required to freshen things up.

The hope is that Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all stay – Diogo Jota is also a great option – but providing even more top class competition can only be a good thing.

It may be that a cheaper alternative to Mbappe comes in, with Leeds United star Raphinha star recently [linked](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-star-high-list-liverpool-scouts-next-season-impact-bielsas-team-hasnt-gone-unnoticed/) with a switch to Anfield, but it would be an error not to bring in anybody.
