Real Madrid crowd make Kylian Mbappe transfer feelings clear amid Liverpool rumours

Real Madrid fans made their Kylian Mbappe transfer feelings clear on Wednesday night when the Paris Saint-Germain forward faced them in their Champions League round-of-16 tie.

The 23-year-old is out of contract in the summer and his future has been widely speculated with links to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City among others.

A move to the La Liga giants appeared to be nailed on only a matter of months ago, but rumours continue to circle with reports in recent weeks suggesting he favours a move to the Premier League.

However, fans of Real Madrid still hope to see Mbappe in their famous white strip next season and they made their feelings clear ahead of kick-off.

When teams were read out over the Bernabeu tannoy, as expected, there were whistles from the home supporters for the majority of PSG's line-up, including Lionel Messi and Neymar.

When it came to Mbappe's name, there was an applause from all corners of the ground despite him featuring for the opposing team.

PSG led Los Blancos 1-0 on aggregate after the first leg in the French capital and it was Mbappe that scored the stoppage time winner only a few weeks ago.

He was on the scoresheet once again on Wednesday night as he extended his side's lead with a fantastic effort before half-time. However, a second-half capitulation from the French outfit saw Madrid through.

Should Mbappe be available on a free transfer in the summer, he certainly won't be short of suitors as Europe's top clubs will circle.

For Liverpool, though, priority remains at home with Mohamed Salah still yet to commit his long-term future to the club.

The Egyptian will no doubt demand significant wages if he's to extend his stay at Anfield and it's unlikely they'd opt to break their wage structure for the £600,000-per-week Mbappe is rumoured to want.
