Liverpool consider 'bold' Kylian Mbappe move as Mohamed Salah 'replacement' named

Liverpool have half of the job done as they look to secure their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Reds beat Benfica 3-1 in Lisbon on Tuesday night and will feel confident going into the second leg at Anfield next Wednesday.

Now, all attention turns to the titanic clash between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday at the Etihad. A win for the Reds will see them move two points above Pep Guardiola's side in the race for the Premier League title. But defeat would put City four points clear at the top.

Jurgen Klopp has a full squad to choose from for the big match and it remains to be seen who will be given a starting spot such is the strength of his squad. But despite that, the rumours surrounding summer signings at Anfield continue, and here we bring you the latest.

What?

According to the French outlet, Liverpool are in the race to sign Kylian Mbappe when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer. Real Madrid are still strong favourites to capture the signing of the France superstar but the report wonders whether the Reds could put together a 'bold financial package' to rival the La Liga giants.

And, according to the report, Manchester City are also interested, but it states that Mbappe had previously expressed doubts about the club's 'lack of historical dimension'. Which you can't say about Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah wants to sign a new contract at Liverpool, according to Egypt sports minister Ashraf Sobhi. Salah's deal expires in the summer of 2023 and an agreement is yet to be reached with the Reds.

Reports have suggested that the Egyptian wants a huge salary increase but Liverpool aren't willing to break their wage structure. But according to Sobhi, a deal could finally be on the cards.

According to reports, Serge Gnabry is considering leaving Bayern Munich in the summer and is valued at £63million. Liverpool are said to be interested in bringing the German to Anfield - if Mohamed Salah was to depart the club.

Several Premier League clubs are also on alert to the possibility of signing the German international.
