# Liverpool dealt blow as PSG president claims Kylian Mbappe “wants to stay”

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi claims Kylian Mbappe wants to stay put at the club, acting as a possible major blow to Liverpool.

The 21-year-old has been continually [linked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/?p=109645) with a move to the Reds in recent times, as he potentially looks for a fresh challenge.

Mbappe’s current PSG deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kylian-mbappe/profil/spieler/342229) in the summer of 2022, meaning they would only realistically be able to receive an astronomical fee for his services next summer.

Speaking to *[RMC Sport](https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/psg-al-khelaifi-tres-confiant-pour-les-prolongations-de-neymar-et-mbappe-2016483.html)* \[via the [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9038359/Neymar-Kylian-Mbappe-talks-signing-new-PSG-contracts-reveals-Nasser-al-Khelaifi.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9038359/Neymar-Kylian-Mbappe-talks-signing-new-PSG-contracts-reveals-Nasser-al-Khelaifi.html)*[Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9038359/Neymar-Kylian-Mbappe-talks-signing-new-PSG-contracts-reveals-Nasser-al-Khelaifi.html)*\], however, Al-Khelaifi now believes Mbappe will extend his stay with the Ligue 1 champions:

> We have begun to talk with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The discussions will remain confidential but I am very confident.

> They both want to stay with us at PSG.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Mbappe is arguably the [most exciting player of his generation](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/kylian-mbappe-best-player-world-messi-ronaldo-psg-france-world-cup), so the thought of him in a Liverpool shirt is certainly an exciting one.

This update is a negative, in that respect, but the hope is that Mbappe decides a move away is beneficial.

Ligue 1 is far from the most testing league in Europe and it would be fascinating to see how he would fare in the Premier League.

His speed, movement and devastating end product – he has [102 goals and 59 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kylian-mbappe/alletore/spieler/342229) in 138 appearances for PSG – would be perfect for Liverpool, and his age and versatility across the front-line means he could be a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino,
