Liverpool is an 'attractive' option to Kylian Mbappe as reports claim he has poured cold water over a switch to Real Madrid.
The French superstar has been tipped to join the Spanish giants with his current deal at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire in June.
The La Liga outfit tabled a £140million offer last summer but the French side swiftly rejected it.
The Reds have continually been linked with Mbappe but a move to Anfield would be difficult to orchestrate given the 23-year-old's financial demands.
Madrid appears to be the only viable option for the winger but PSG's meeting with Los Blancos in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie this week has seemingly changed the landscape.
Could Liverpool pull off a sensational move for Kylian Mbappe? Comment below
Mbappe scored a dramatic 94th-minute winner to secure a 1-0 win for the hosts and Spanish newspaper Sport claim Madrid's 'inferiority' has given him second thoughts on a move to the Bernabeu.
Mbappe is now weighing up his options and is not ruling out the possibility of staying in Paris with a 'take it or leave it' contract offer on the table from PSG.
Liverpool is reportedly an 'attractive' proposition for the player however with the Reds still in the hunt for him.
The Anfield club's inability to compete with PSG and Real Madrid financially means they are 'last in the running' out of the trio, but the latest reports will give Liverpool fans renewed hope they can pull off the unthinkable.
Mbappe has previously spoken about his admiration for Klopp and how he helped steer Liverpool to the Premier League title in 2020.
He said: "This season, Liverpool have been a machine in the Premier League. They have made winning look easy but the truth is that it is never easy.
"Performances, like they have been having, don't just happen. To be as ruthless as they have been would come from lots of hard work in training and from having a very good manager."
It's claimed that Klopp also previously approached Mbappe to gauge his reaction about a move to Liverpool. The German spoke to Mbappe in private and also had a conversation over the phone with his dad Wilfried.
The World Cup winner was said to be "flattered" by the interest shown in him at the time.
