Liverpool are linked with a transfer of Kylian Mbappe and Express Sport are looking for who could go in the opposite direction.

Liverpool could offer a number of players in exchange for Kylian Mbappe. The Reds have reportedly made a huge offer to Paris Saint-Germain to sign the rebel’s contract

Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires in a year. The French club don’t want to lose any of the best players in the world on a free transfer.

Clubs across Europe are awaiting a potential deal for the French superstar. Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre told El Chiringuito TV earlier this week that Liverpool have made a bid worth around £170million.

The Reds could instead try to offer the players to sign Mbappe. Express Sport are eyeing four potential Anfield stars who could be used in a cashier player transfer.

Thiago Alcantara

Liverpool are rebuilding their midfield and have already made two signings in this area. Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have joined and Jurgen Klopp may not be done with it.

Thiago struggled with injuries last season and some think the Premier League may be too soon for him at the age of 32.

The Spaniard could do another job for PSG in the French league and gain Champions League winning experience.

Fabinho

Fabinho had his worst season in a Liverpool shirt last season. Neither Mac Allister nor Szoboszlai are defensive midfielders, so he should be replaced when he leaves.

Klopp will have to make a decision if he believes Fabinho can return to the form he showed in his first four years at the club. If not, he can try to sell him to PSG

Diogo Jota

Jota missed part of last season with injury and was only in the regular starter in the last phase of the season. He has found form in front of goal, with braces against Leeds, Nottingham Forest and Southampton.

However, Mbappé’s arrival would make it more difficult for him to earn regular playing time. At 26 he could be an attractive proposition for PSG.

Darwin Nunez

Ok, maybe it’s too early to consider Darwin a Liverpool player. He certainly showed a taste of his potential in his first season in English football.

However, he fell out of favor in the second half of the campaign. There would be no place for him and Mbappe in the Liverpool squad and he could take a significant chunk of the transfer fee PSG would demand.

After a year and a half away from football, Kaide Gordon will start training

The 18-year-old winger has been sidelined since early 2022 due to a pelvic growth issue

When Liverpool bought Kaide Gordon from Derby in 2021, paying between £1million and £3million in training fees for the then 16-year-old winger, expectations were as high as you can get for a player with a senior cap to his credit.

When he became Liverpool’s youngest ever goalscorer in an FA Cup match against Shrewsbury that autumn, those expectations were raised, with speculation that Gordon could even be Mohamed Salah’s long-term successor at right-wing.

However, in the spring of 2022, Gordon appeared to be missing. There was unconfirmed speculation about various injuries at the time. Eventually, a pelvic growth issue was identified as the problem. The youngster hasn’t played since.

But according to The Athletic, Gordon will now be back in action. After a year and a half without football, the now 18-year-old is ready to participate in the pre-season. However, he will be on an individual schedule and will not tour with the first team.

So it could be some time before fans see Gordon play again, but if all goes to plan, it’s not impossible that he can enter pre-season a few minutes late, after which he can more easily get into action with youth teams.

as the season progresses. Hopefully, as this was a developmental issue rather than injury, Gordon can use the 2023/24 season to get back on track and, perhaps when the 2024 pre-season arrives, get back into the first team.
