Liverpool rekindles interest in an extremely ambitious deal.

According to reports, Liverpool has revived its interest in signing Kylian Mbappe, the star player for Paris Saint-Germain.

Being one of the greatest players in the world, the France international is currently drawing a lot of attention because his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, making him an extremely alluring free agent.

Liverpool and Real Madrid are reportedly back in the running for Mbappe, according to the print edition of the AS, which Sport Witness is translating. However, it’s also possible that this interest is primarily being exploited to put pressure on Los Blancos.

Since that Liverpool rarely makes star-studded signings of this calibre that would certainly cost a fortune and possibly ruin the peace in the locker room, Real Madrid seems like a more likely destination than Liverpool.

Even still, Mbappe is talented enough that Liverpool might be persuaded to recruit him as a long-term replacement for the ageing Mohamed Salah.

Since Mbappe has been with PSG since 2017, it is possible that he would choose to stay longer given his remarkable career to far with the French powerhouses.

At this point, Mohamed Salah might be considering staying at Liverpool past the end of the current campaign.

Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia showed a lot of interest in Salah throughout the summer, and Liverpool turned down a huge offer for their number eleven.

Since then, it’s been widely believed that the Saudis will make Mo a second offer in January or early next year. Many Reds supporters may have already come to terms with the possibility that this is Salah’s final season at Anfield.

However, journalist David Ornstein now suggests that could not be the case after all. In a Q&A session with The Athletic, Ornstein was questioned whether the future of the Egyptian superstar had received “any noise.” Liverpool supporters will find encouragement in his response.

The journalist answered, “No, other than I don’t think it’s set in stone he goes.”

“I’ve even heard some comments that he would want to stay and carry on competing in Europe at the top level. Of course, it’s a big decision for the player and the team.

Liverpool gave Salah motivation.

The Saudi interest that surfaced during the summer, which was naturally turned down, was in some respects a good thing.

It helped Liverpool fans prepare for the possibility that, in a year, their Egyptian King may actually leave the team. That has been the general sentiment among supporters.

However, given that the Saudis frequently perform for audiences of fewer than 1,000, maybe the situation has changed.

Nobody knew for sure how the Pro League initiative would turn out back in the summer. Many well-known players were moving to the Middle East, raising hopes that the league would soon be on par with its European rivals.

That may still be the case in the future, but it hasn’t materialised as of yet. It appears more and more like it will follow in the unfortunate footsteps of the Chinese Super League with each passing week. Is anyone really bothered outside of the transfer window?

You can see why Mo might have been tempted by an offer a year ago. Now, though, there ought to be a legitimate doubt. It will appear as though he is conceding that his career is failing by moving from the Premier League to the Pro League.

Salah might still be content to take that step, but we believe his fierce competitiveness might be about to turn the tide. He is thirty-one years old.

Hopefully, Liverpool’s return to form and a few trophies this season will satiate his desire and convince him to stay. It seems as though things are about to change. Mo may finally have his “Wolf of Wall Street” moment.
