A transfer issue that Liverpool is well aware of is set to be forced by Kylian Mbappé.

With the start of the new season just around the corner, Kylian Mbappé and PSG are not in a great position. In reverse, Liverpool has previously been in a situation like this.

Even if Kylian Mbappé plays out his PSG contract and departs when it expires next summer, the money he would demand would make it highly unlikely that Liverpool could afford to sign him.

Despite the fact that the 24-year-old has only recently been offered a 10-year contract to remain at PSG and earn $2.14m (£1.66m/€1.92m) each week for the rest of the next decade, someone somewhere is still likely to draw a comparison to Liverpool.

The world’s best player, Mbappé, is in turmoil as a result of his recent exclusion from PSG’s preseason trip to Japan due to his refusal to thus far reach an agreement on a new contract (the French giants suspect he has already informed Real Madrid he will join them in 2024).

According to Spanish outlet Marca, Real Madrid would have to pay more than $445 million (2£346 million/€400 million) to sign Mbappé this summer when you take into account his transfer fee, which could reach $173 million (£223 million/€200 million), as well as other expenses like his salary.

Real Madrid, at least for the time being, is not willing to commit that sum of money when it can work out a free transfer deal for the forward beginning in January. This stance seems reasonable, especially in light of the significant sum of money already spent this summer on Jude Bellingham.

All of that is creating a situation that is almost a mirror image of the one Liverpool found itself in with star player Philippe Coutinho six years ago, with Barcelona pushing to sign the Brazilian in mid-August.

In response to Barcelona’s second offer, which was worth $116 million (£90 million/€104 million), Coutinho submitted a transfer request, as The Guardian reported at the time. FSG was adamant that the then-25-year-old would not be permitted to leave on the eve of the start of a new Premier League season, even though he had only recently signed a new five-year contract.

It’s not ideal for any club to enter a new season with uncertainty surrounding the future of their star player, and Liverpool has been there before. Coutinho was not allowed to leave that summer, but he played very well for six months before leaving for Barcelona the following January for a lot more money than was rumored to be paid.

However, for PSG, a situation in which the player wants to stay but the club wants him to leave is playing out.

When Mbappé’s three-year contract was announced last summer, it was actually only for two years with an option for a third.

With Mbappé having made clear that he does not intend to sign up for that final year, PSG is powerless at this moment in time to keep him until 2025 — in fact, it actively wants to move him on now in order to avoid losing out on a transfer fee for the most valuable player in the world.

In the case of Coutinho, which is the more typical scenario, Liverpool did not want to lose a crucial player and did not do so until a few months later on exorbitant terms. Mbappé is one of those players where the club wants him gone while the attacker would prefer to stay.

In either case, these transfer snafus usually only lead to parting ways. It appears unlikely that Mbappé will extend his contract with PSG, and it also appears unlikely that he will move anywhere else besides Real Madrid.

By giving in to Mbappé’s demands last summer, PSG was forced into a corner, whereas Liverpool had some control over the situation with Coutinho. The Ligue 1 team is now dealing with the repercussions.

More news……..

Jurgen Klopp wants a £70 million star to replace Saudi targets in the latest roundup of Liverpool transfers.

Considering that teams in Saudi Arabia are interested in club legends Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool may need to sign a new holding midfielder this summer.

Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have already been added to the Liverpool roster this summer, and more players are anticipated.

After placing fifth in the Premier League last season, Jurgen Klopp’s team is eager to play in the Champions League as soon as possible. They are the favorites to win the Europa League the following season. West Ham and Brighton have also qualified for the competition.

Since Klopp became the club’s manager in October 2015, Liverpool has experienced great success. Except for the Europa League, they have triumphed in every trophy contest. Just a few months after Klopp took over, the Reds lost the 2016 Europa League final, 3-1, to Sevilla.

Here are the most recent Merseyside headlines, but who are Liverpool interested in signing?

Verratti is desired by Liverpool.

According to The Guardian, Liverpool is interested in signing midfielder Marco Verratti from Paris Saint-Germain. According to rumors, if Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leave Merseyside for Saudi Arabia, the Reds may look to sign the 30-year-old Italy international.

While the Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad are interested in signing Fabinho, 29, for £40 million, Al-Ettifaq and Liverpool have reached an agreement on a £12 million fee for Henderson, 33, who has a £700,000 per week contract on the table. Both transfers are up in the air.

After participating in more than 500 first-team matches and taking home 32 trophies, including nine Ligue 1 championships and the Euro 2020, Verratti is regarded as one of Europe’s top midfielders. However, PSG won’t sell him unless the asking price is fair. They are said to want £70 million.

Schmadtke leaves a clue.

Jorg Schmadtke might continue working for Liverpool past the current summer. The 59-year-old signed a one-year contract to become the club’s sporting director in May, but that agreement contains a break clause that can be used at the conclusion of this transfer window.

At first, Schmadtke was supposed to leave Liverpool in September. He left a comparable position at Wolfsburg in January. However, the German has since acknowledged that he could remain longer. He told Sky Sports, “We’re waiting until the end of August.

Although we’ve agreed to an annual contract, we will have the chance to check in with one another in August to see if we’re still on board. If someone is unsure, we shake hands and I could receive a ticket if I decide to drop by. “.

When asked if he would be celebrating his 60th birthday in Liverpool in March, Schmadtke responded upbeatly, “It could be!”.

Young star’s loan deal

Dominic Corness, a midfielder for Liverpool, has signed a one-year loan agreement with Yverdon Sport in Switzerland. The 20-year-old has yet to play for the Reds’ first team, but in the EFL Trophy, he has faced League One and League Two clubs five times.

Corness will have the opportunity to play in the top division of football after Yverdon was promoted to the Swiss Super League in May after winning the second tier. Djibril Cisse, a legend of Liverpool, spent a season at Yverdon near the end of his playing career and scored 23 goals in 29 games during that time.
