Liverpool have reportedly expressed an interest in an ambitious potential transfer swoop for Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe.

The France international is currently going through a difficult period at the Bernabeu, despite his impressive individual statistics so far this season.

Mbappe has 85 goals in 100 games for Real Madrid since joining last season, though he’s yet to win a major trophy with Los Blancos, and this season is also set to finish without silverware.

According to Fichajes, this has seen Liverpool register an interest in Mbappe in an ambitious potential move.

This comes as Marca and other Spanish football news outlets have reported on the former Paris Saint-Germain man’s attitude seeming to rub his teammates up the wrong way.

Could Liverpool really sign Kylian Mbappe?

But before everyone gets too excited about this story, it seems worth emphasising how it seems a tad premature to be seriously thinking about Mbappe moving to Anfield.

Liverpool, let’s not forget, spent huge money last summer on big names like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, so that could limit what they’re able to do this year without some serious sales to help balance the books and stay in line with Financial Fair Play rules.

Even then, not only would Mbappe cost a huge transfer fee, but he’d surely immediately become the club’s highest earner by some distance, which seems far from ideal, even if he is one of the best players in the world.

But before we even get into that, it’s not even clear if the 27-year-old will definitely be leaving Madrid.
