# Liverpool and Real Madrid’s interest in Kylian Mbappe is ‘real’

Liverpool and Real Madrid’s interest in Kylian Mbappe is ‘real’, according to *[Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/)* \[via *[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/interest-from-liverpool-in-signing-player-is-real-club-hopeful-star-will-sign-new-contract/)*\].

The Reds have been linked with a stunning move for the Paris Saint-Germain superstar, but Madrid are also seen as possible suitors.

Mbappe’s current deal at PSG [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kylian-mbappe/profil/spieler/342229) at the end of the 2021/22 season, and while the Ligue 1 giants remain hopeful of him staying on, two of Europe’s biggest teams are circling.

Liverpool’s interest is genuine, as per this latest report, with Jurgen Klopp a huge admirer of the Frenchman.

It is stated that while the Reds can’t offer Mbappe as much money as PSG, they can promise him a ‘better sporting project’.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Mbappe would be a sensational signing for Liverpool, such is his reputation in the world game. At just 21, the striker already has [100 goals and 58 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kylian-mbappe/alletore/spieler/342229) in 137 appearances for PSG, as well as 16 in 39 for France.

Valued at £162m (almost £50m more than any other player) by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spieler-statistik/wertvollstespieler/marktwertetop), however, he would almost certainly cost Liverpool a fortune, so it could mean that one of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane have to make way for him.

The world-class Reds pair turn 29 next year, and while the idea of them leaving may be hard to accept, it could make more long-term sense than it may seem.

Mbappe has the ability to be [one of the world’s best players](https://www.goal.com/en/lists/goal-50-2020-the-best-50-players-in-the-world/1drx0x11z7i8a17j14njsth0ew) for the next decade, highlighting what an exciting signing he could be.
