Kylian Mbappe and his future is not clear heading into the January transfer window.
The Paris Saint-Germain star is now in the final six months of his contract.
Liverpool have long been interested in the striker, but financial barriers have often put a halt to their interest.
The Frenchman is now free to enter contract negotiations with any club as his time at PSG looks to be drawing to a close.
Real Madrid are reportedly ready to make a ‘final offer’ for the 25-year-old this month.
However, Kylian Mbappe only has ‘until the 15th’ of January to decide his future.
However, a new report by Spanish outlet AS maintains that the Anfield club are still in with a shout.
Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool
AS report that the race for Mbappe’s signature will be ‘primarily contested’ between Real Madrid and PSG.
However, it’s claimed that Liverpool should not be ruled out a potential destination for the World Cup winner.
There is a ‘dream’ at Anfield to see the forward play in the Premier League, and one that could be realised should Mohamed Salah depart for Saudi Arabia at the end of the season.
Liverpool is conscious of the challenges in persuading Mbappé, particularly in light of the other bidders’ determination and financial backing.
AS add Klopp’s side will ‘take advantage of any opportunity, no matter how small, to enter the bid’ for the PSG star.
The player himself is believed to be calm and will not rush any decision, which will likely frustrate Los Blancos.
Of course, Kylian Mbappe’s wage and overall financial package represents a huge hurdle in Liverpool’s plans.
The Anfield club have maintained a disciplined and feasible wage structure under Jurgen Klopp.
But, for a player of Mbappe’s quality, it would almost certainly be worthwhile to break the mould.
