Liverpool are reportedly not giving up on their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe and are prepared to rival Real Madrid for his signature, as per Spanish outlet Radio Marca.
The French superstar is expected to become the most expensive football player globally, as his current club Paris Saint-Germain are likely to demand a massive fee for his transfer.
Mbappe’s contract with the French champions is set to expire next summer, and his future has been surrounded by numerous rumours. The 24-year-old forward is expected to attract a transfer fee of around £257 million, making him a highly expensive acquisition.
In another transfer rumour, Liverpool are also preparing a £77 million bid to secure the services of Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. Interestingly, it is mentioned that Real Madrid intends to utilize the funds from a potential Valverde sale to finance the signing of Mbappe.

Given the aforementioned claims, it would be wise for Liverpool to prioritize signing Valverde to strengthen their midfield, rather than getting involved in the Mbappe situation.
While the 24-year-old is an exceptional player, Liverpool’s focus should not be on adding another left-sided attacker during this transfer window.
However, it’s important to approach these rumours with scepticism and not get carried away with the idea of paying £257 million for Mbappe.

The notion that Liverpool are in the race for a player of that cost seems highly implausible. As fans, it is our duty to avoid falling into these speculative discussions and instead concentrate on what is realistically achievable for the club.
We hope that the club’s management is diligently working behind the scenes to secure the necessary signings that will improve the squad.
