Can Liverpool really afford Mbappe?
It may have been a while since it was last mooted but the link between Kylian Mbappe and Liverpool has been made once more.
Over the past couple of years, whenever rumours of an Mbappe exit from Paris Saint-Germain emerge you can almost guarantee that the Reds will be mentioned as potential suitors soon after, however fanciful such a transfer may be.

The links between the French star and the Reds are long established, from Mbappe's admission that his mum's favourite team is Liverpool and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp's vocal admiration for the talents of the 24-year-old have seen Anfield mooted as a potential destination for some time now.
Those rumours were seemingly put to bed earlier in 2022 when Mbappe, who had been involved in some ridiculous game of cat and mouse with Real Madrid, committed his future to PSG. All it took was a €50m (£43.7m) annual salary, a signing on bonus of a reported €100m, total ownership of his image rights and the intervention of French president Emmanuel Macron. All very normal.

Everything Mbappe has said about Liverpool
Kylian Mbappe must sign a new contract if he wants to stay at Paris St-Germain, according to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
While Mbappe's contract expires next summer, he does have the option to extend his stay at Parc de Princes for an extra 12 months but was strongly linked with both Liverpool and Real Madrid in previous years, particularly before his most recent contract renewal in 2022, and a move could be on the cards again.
This new development has set pulses racing and it was claimed on Thursday by Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre, of the popular show El Chiringuito, that Liverpool had made a bid of €200m for Mbappe. Admittedly, such a concept seems far-fetched, but is sure to excite Reds supporters.
With that in mind, here is everything that, arguably, the world's best player at the time of writing has said about Liverpool and potentially making the switch to Merseyside.
