Liverpool hero John Aldridge says they shouldn't waste their time with PSG striker Kylian Mbappe.

Aldridge has told sundayworld.com that the Anfield club have 'no chance' of landing Mbappe, with the size of the deal taking it well beyond the budget of the Anfield club.

"There is no chance at all of Liverpool signing Kylian Mbappe," Aldridge said.

"I'd love to see him at Anfield as he is a great player and apparently, he is a big admirer of Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.

"But the reality is there are only a few teams in world football who could even consider a deal of that size and Liverpool are not close to being one of them.

"Real Madrid or Manchester City might find a way of making it happen and maybe Chelsea as well, but Liverpool just don't operate in that world when it comes to transfers.

"The current owners like to keep a tight ship financially and Klopp has helped to make that policy successful over the last few years and he is the best manager in the world.

“So and Liverpool fans getting excited over the prospect of Mbappe coming to Liverpool need to get a grip on reality as it's not happening."
