Gary McAllister has backed his former club Liverpool to complete the signing of Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe is out of contract at PSG in June and was reported earlier this week that the Frenchman has already agreed to waive a £69million loyalty bonus if he leaves the club this summer.
The 25-year-old can openly talk to other clubs or even sign a pre-contract agreement this month.
Several clubs including Liverpool have been linked with a move for the World Cup winner.
According to reliable French journalist Julien Laurens, Mbappe likes Liverpool but he has not decided on his future with Real Madrid keen on securing his signature.
“I think clubs like Liverpool should always be there when a world superstar like Kylian Mbappe becomes available,” McAllister told Boyle Sports.
“If there’s an opportunity there, and if the Mbappe deal is in line with the budgets and how the club is run, then Liverpool should be interested as far as I’m concerned.
“The world’s top five or six clubs will always want to be involved when a player of that calibre becomes available, and Liverpool are a part of that group.
”Over the last few years, people have been saying that Mbappe’s next step was Real Madrid, but the link with Liverpool has also been there.
“Liverpool were also in the picture when Jude Bellingham was available. I can’t see a reason why they couldn’t get Mbappe if the deal worked for them.”
Liverpool, meanwhile held talks with Mbappe previously. He told the Telegraph in 2022: “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum.
“I don’t know why, you will have to ask her! It’s a good club and we met them five years ago.
“When I was in Monaco I met them. It’s a big club.”
