In an interview with Sky Germany, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp revealed that his team cannot sign Kylian Mbappé this summer due to financial constraints.
The Kylian Mbappé saga continues to stir passions in the football world. Paris Saint-Germain is no longer hiding its intention to sell its French star, after unsuccessful contract extension negotiations. In fact, as of Tuesday, August 1st, the young prodigy will be available on the transfer market, generating unprecedented interest from several European clubs. While Real Madrid is seen as the favorite to sign the Bondy-born player, but in 2024, other clubs like Liverpool are rumored to be ready to make a move this summer.
Asked about this rumor, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said, “We are laughing about it (…) I can say that I think he is a very good player. But the financial framework is not suitable for us at all. I wouldn’t want to spoil the story now (…). As far as I know, there is nothing to do. But it is possible that someone else at the club is preparing something and wants to surprise me. (…) But that hasn’t happened since I’ve been here, and it’s been 8 years. It would be the first time,” as reported by Footmercato.
Another contender therefore drops out of the race for the 2018 World Cup champion. As a reminder, in its edition on Monday, AS explained that for the management of Real Madrid, the transfer window is closed. An indirect way of announcing that the Spanish club would not be signing the Bondy-born player this summer. Unless it is a ploy by Florentino Perez and his team to lower the price of KM7, estimated at 250 million euros by PSG.
