Liverpool favourites (for Jan) as PSG tell Mbappe: We won't do business with Real Madrid

Liverpool are emerging as a shock January option for unhappy PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.

Marca says Mbappe told PSG he wanted to leave in July amid significant interest from Real Madrid, who bid £154million for the 23-year-old in the summer before he snubbed the Spanish giants to sign a new contract in Paris.

But PSG will not entertain any offer from Real if Mbappe does leave now, leaving Liverpool as one of his only feasible options.

According to the publication, PSG have agreed to work on Mbappe's exit provided it met certain conditions, including that a move to the Bernabeu be taken off the table.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed interest in Mbappe, considered one of the best players in the world, in the past but the finances involved could be a stumbling block to any deal with the Reds.

He has been consistently linked with Klopp's side in recent years, with the Frenchman reportedly keen to test himself in the Premier League.

Mbappe has cut an unhappy figure in France in the early part of the new season and he has openly slammed coach Christophe Galtier's tactics and also appears to have fallen out with Neymar.
