Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been speaking regularly with the father of PSG star Kylian Mbappe in recent weeks, it has been revealed.

Le 10 Sport says Klopp has held multiple calls with Wilfried Mbappe about his son, making it clear how much he wants to work with Kylian - at Anfield.

Mbappe Snr has enjoyed speaking with the Reds manager, but the prospect of his son moving to Liverpool anytime soon is low.

Real Madrid remains the priority for Mbappe, with the belief president Florentino Perez now plans to move for him in 2021.

Key to any chance of Liverpool becoming a genuine alternative will depend on the future of Zinedine Zidane. Should Zidane be forced out of Real as coach in the coming months, Liverpool and Klopp's case will strengthen in Mbappe's eyes.
