Kylian Mbappé could leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with a possible transfer carousel opening up options for Liverpool’s scouting squad.

Kylian Mbappé surprised the footballing world on Monday night when he questioned his future in France.

The global superstar sent a letter to his club, Paris Saint-Germain, informing them that he would not be exercising the option to extend his contract for another year (according to Sky Sports).

As a result, Mbappé currently has a contract that expires in 12 months, meaning PSG stand to lose him for free unless he is sold this summer.

What will happen remains to be seen, but it is curious that such details emerged just a week after Karim Benzema left Real Madrid to join Saudi Professional League club Al-Ittihad.

At the moment, the Spanish giant does not have a starting striker at the club, so a transfer from Mbappé could work perfectly in the coming months. However, if Real Madrid explore the prospect of buying the Frenchman, they may need to raise cash through the sale of players.

Real Madrid chairman Florentino Pérez is said to be on the verge of signing former Liverpool target Jude Bellingham this summer (per Sky Sports). The English prodigy looks set to sign for Borussia Dortmund, but signing him will cost an exorbitant price.

Real Madrid may struggle to fund high-profile moves for Bellingham and Mbappé in the same window, which explains why Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti may be willing to sell some players. On tour at the Santiago Bernabéu squad, one player in particular seems ideal for Jurgen Klopp’s needs.

Federico Valverde is fully committed to Real Madrid and maybe that’s an understatement.

Earlier this year, the Uruguay international was asked about his future in the capital while filming Apple TV’s upcoming documentary about the Spanish club. “To get me out of Real Madrid they have to kill me,” he said.

In fact, Valverde has been labeled ‘untouchable in this team’ by his current manager. The South American midfielder is just 24 and well ahead of his prime, but if Real Madrid are distracted by Mbappé and Bellingham, he could be a player to make himself available.

Spanish outlet Relevo recently reported that Valverde is no longer as non-transferable as he once was. Real Madrid want to keep him but could raise a significant amount of transfer funds for Pérez to pitch to Mbappé and Bellingham, while Liverpool are on the hunt for midfielders.

El Nacional say Liverpool have made an initial $65m (£51m/€60m) offer for Valverde. But this has apparently been firmly rejected, with Pérez refusing to even discuss the possibility unless a $108m (£86m/€100m) offer is made. Alexis Mac Allister has already been added to Klopp’s ranks this summer but more additions are needed.

Additionally, many of the midfielders being considered for a move to Anfield tend to prefer the left side of the pitch, including Mac Allister, Khéphren Thuram and Manu Koné to name a few, but Valverde is a right-wing player. , eh would benefit the Reds.

He is as intense, hard-working and industrious as can be. The Uruguay international looks like the right fit for Klopp and joining Klopp would fill a key need, but there is still a lot to do this summer for the transfer carousel to finally benefit Liverpool in the market.

Overall, Klopp needs to keep an eye on the situation between Bellingham, Mbappé and Valverde as he looks to revamp his engine room ahead of next season.

Liverpool might make a £30 million bid to sign Federico Chiesa to test the Juventus waters.
According to the Italian publication Calciomercato (via Liverpool Echo), Liverpool will make Juventus a £30 million offer to sign Italian international Federico Chiesa this summer as a test.

According to the report, the player’s future in Turin is in doubt, and Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also interested in him.

Chiesa has missed a lot of Juventus games since playing a key role in Italy’s victory at the Euros 2021. Totaling 62 games, he has missed them.

for a player who was at the pinnacle of his career after success on the international stage, in the last two seasons (2021–2022 and 2022–2023), which is a lot.

The 25-year-old forward, who can also play as the number nine, is a versatile player who can play on either wing. He plays with great pace, great finishing ability, and good technical value.

In the last three transfer windows, the club heavily invested in bolstering the forward line. Now is the time to spend the majority of the budget on top midfielders, and possibly add one or two defenders as well.

Finally, even if Liverpool is set on signing Chiesa, his injury history over the previous two seasons isn’t promising (as evidenced by the numbers mentioned above). After losing Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Klopp would prefer not to have any more injury-prone players on his team.
