Liverpool could break transfer policy to sign €180M jewel: He prefers Anfield

If Kylian Mbappe moves to the Premier League, his preferred destination is Liverpool, according to journalist Francois Plateau, after his entourage confirmed that he has not agreed to join Real Madrid.

On Monday afternoon, Mbappe's entourage confirmed, via RMC Sport, that he has not agreed to join the La Liga outfit after a claim in France suggested the 25-year-old had reached a pre-contract agreement with Madrid over a transfer to the Bernabeu in the 2024 summer transfer window.

As this particular transfer saga rumbles on, it is being reported with increased regularity that Mbappe views moving to Anfield as one of his top choices.

PSG pay the striker absurdly high wages and Real Madrid are likely the only other club on the planet that can afford to pay them yet Liverpool remain tipped to surprise football fans by making a move to sign him in the summer.

Kylian Mbappe prefers Liverpool over Premier League rivals

Reporting via Twitter, journalist Francois Plateau claims that "If Kylian Mbappe ends up in England, his preferred destination is Liverpool."

He cites "speculation" that Liverpool could sign Mbappe if a move to Real Madrid "falls through."

Additionally, FSG would be prepared to "break their transfer policy" to bring him to Anfield.

That's exactly what would be required. Liverpool's highest paid player is Mohamed Salah, who earns £350,000 per week.

Mbappe earns £1,200,000 per week.

In order to sign Mbappe, Fenway Sports Group would have to absolutely smash their current wage structure.

The only reason Liverpool even stand a chance of signing him is that his €180 million transfer value means nothing when his contract expires.

But because he's available for free, there is the opportunity for the Reds to find a creative way to offer him a competitive contract.
