Liverpool are a surprising entrant in the race to sign Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe, according to the Telegraph. The newspaper name the Merseyside giants as one of three clubs pushing strongly to sign the most in-demand young player in world football The Telegraph report that Arsenal, who have already bid £87million for Mbappe, and Real Madrid, whose £103million offer has been rejected, are also firmly in the picture. In an analysis of the 11 biggest unresolved summer transfer sagas, it is said that the “smart money” is on the 18-year-old eventually being lured to Real but predict that he will first spend one more year at the French champions. Liverpool’s place in the race is a notable shock as their club record signing is that of Mohamed Salah, who was prised from Roma last week for a fee widely reported to be £35million rising to a potential £39million. Mbappe has progressed through the Monaco ranks to take world football by storm since last autumn, with his brilliant displays as the spearhead of a thrilling front line helping his clinch the Ligue 1 title and reach the Champions League semi-finals. He demonstrated his immense potential with 26 goals and 14 assists from 44 matches in all competitions, including six in nine Champions League encounters. For good measure, he also tore the England defenders to shreds as 10-man France emerged victorious with a 3-2 friendly win earlier this month.
I think we ended our interest a few weeks back. Just turned 17 so not a 1st choice LB for the time being.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez set for Brighton loan as Seagulls promise youngster regular first-team action The 20-year-old will be given the chance to kickstart his career after Brighton pipped Celtic to his signature
Id agree. Unless a mega offer is there he is 17 barely and can play all next season. His risk is his form trails off. Our risk is he will be 25mil next year. But... at least spurs didnt do for us again here.
Still time for a club to make a move, then send him back on loan for 1-2 seasons as part of the deal.
well its always possible. the contract just ups his price doesn't it? I'm not sure about laon backs. I think motivation becomes an issue there. He's not really tied to loan club and not really focused on them for his success. IMO this loan out system requires real maturity from a young player. he's got to be very focused on his development to get the benefit
