Gianluigi Donnarumma makes Kylian Mbappe transfer admission amid Liverpool rumours

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has said everyone at the club is enjoying Kylian Mbappe while they can amid continued speculation over his future.

The France forward is expected to leave the Parc des Princes at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Real Madrid are the favourites to land Mbappe having made numerous attempts to sign him ahead of the campaign, although Liverpool have also been mentioned as possible suitors in the past.

The 23-year-old is one of the best players on the planet and he showcased his talent on the biggest stage on Tuesday, when PSG went up against Real Madrid in the first leg of their last-16 showdown in the Champions League.

After 94 minutes of determined defending from Los Blancos, Mbappe produced a moment of magic to decide the game.

He darted infield from the left wing, slalomed past a pair of Madrid defenders and then finished with composure underneath the onrushing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who had earlier saved a penalty from Lionel Messi.

After the game, the PSG stopper Donnarumma said he was amazed by Mbappe and that the club are cherishing each day he represents them.

"Kylian Mbappe… mamma mia," he said to Sky Sport (h/t Fabrizio Romano). "He’s an alien! He’s incredible, guys. It’s a show with Kylian, on and off the pitch.

"Mbappe will decide whether he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain or not - it’s up to him. We enjoy Kylian every day."

PSG will still have work to do in the second leg in Madrid, but with Mbappe in this kind of red-hot form they will be a major rival to Liverpool in the Champions League should they advance.

It will be fascinating to see if Jurgen Klopp moves to sign a forward in the summer for the Reds, as the club added to their stable of world-class attacking options with the acquisition of Luis Diaz from Porto in January.
