LONDON: Liverpool have reportedly contacted Kylian Mbappe’s agent about bringing the Real Madrid striker to Anfield in 2027.
According to Spanish journalist Francois Gallardo, Liverpool have held talks with Mbappe’s mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, in recent weeks.
Mbappe joined Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer of 2024 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The French striker has now scored 94 goals and provided 14 assists in 111 appearances for the Spanish giants in all competitions.
However, despite his impressive scoring record, Mbappe has yet to help Real Madrid win LaLiga or the Champions League in the last two seasons.
In fact, questions have arisen regarding Mbappe’s compatibility with Vinicius Junior in Real Madrid’s starting line-up.
Mbappe, who helped France win the 2018 World Cup, still has a contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2029.
However, Gallardo claims Liverpool want to sign the 27-year-old in 2027.
“Several Premier League clubs are interested in Kylian Mbappe, but the player’s priority is Liverpool.
“They have been in contact with Fayza Lamari in recent weeks. The player does not feel loved or supported in the Real Madrid dressing room and the situation makes her uncomfortable.
“The transfer fee is estimated to be between 200 million and 250 million euros,” he told a news portal in Spain.
If Liverpool pay Real Madrid 250 million euros for Mbappe, that amount would make him the most expensive player in football history.
The current world transfer record still belongs to Neymar after the Brazilian player moved from Barcelona to PSG in 2017 for 222 million euros.
Gallardo also claimed that Mbappe has already decided to leave Real Madrid in the summer of 2027 and the club will not stop him.
“World exclusive, Kylian Mbappe is angry and disappointed with Real Madrid. He has already decided to leave the club in the summer of 2027 and Real Madrid will not stop him. His next destination is the English Premier League,” he wrote on the X account.
Gallardo also claimed that Real Madrid are planning to sign Bayern Munich player Michael Oliseh if Mbappe leaves the club to join Liverpool in 2027.
