Kylian Mbappe is perhaps the most desirable player in the world at the moment, especially after it became clear that Erling Braut Haaland will go to Manchester City this summer.
The Frenchman is a Bosman player, and Liverpool have been linked with him constantly, although it seemed very clear that the matter was between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. PSG would be willing to pay him a crazy contract and build the team around him, but the dream would be Madrid, and on Monday night David Ornstein mentioned in The Athletic that the player has now agreed with the Spanish big club on the personal terms of an agreement.
In the closed part of Monday’s press conference, Klopp was asked if he was interested in Mbappe.
– Of course we are interested in Kylian Mbappe, we are not blind!, Klopp responded according to thisisanfield.com.

Liverpool have never been in Braut Haaland’s game, thanks in large part to the overs they have been playing, and he won’t be in the game for the 23-year-old from Paris Saint-Germain.
– I have nothing to say about it. Between Killian and Liverpool, everything is fine. Of course we love him very much. If we didn’t like him, we had to doubt ourselves, says Klopp.
But we are not and cannot be part of these struggles. There must be other clubs involved, and that’s okay. He’s still a great player.
Real Madrid tried to buy Mbappe last summer, and a bid of £154m was turned down. It’s a huge amount for a player to get without paying a transfer fee this summer, so it makes a little clear what the amounts are in the game, and how we talk about the huge amounts we’re talking about around the player contract.
PSG is said to have offered him €50m a season, according to reports in April. That equates to £800,000 a week – more than double what it seems inappropriate for Liverpool to pay Mohamed Salah.
