JUST IN : LIVERPOOL GAINS GREENLIGHT FROM PSG, AS KYLIAN MBAPPE POSSIBLE LOAN MOVE SOLUTION REVEALED.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liverpool could be in pole position to complete a sensational loan deal for Kylian Mbappe, as PSG desperately try to resolve the France superstar’s future.

With PSG convinced that Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, the Ligue 1 champions have made the 24-year-old

something of an outcast – making him train away from the rest of the first-team squad.

Clearly, the club will not want to lose their most-prized asset on a free transfer – but selling a player they reportedly value at €200m (£172.9m) is far easier said than

done.

Could Liverpool offer PSG a lifeline, though? According to the Daily Star, Mbappe’s representatives have held ‘discreet discussions’ with multiple Premier League

clubs.

And among Mbappe’s entourage is none other than his own mother, Fayza Lamari – a Liverpool supporter.

The report adds that Mbappe has told his mother that he is ‘desperate’ to join Real but equally – unsurprisingly – doesn’t want to spend the 2023/24 season

festering in the background at PSG.

It remains to be seen whether Real will make a move for Mbappe in the current transfer window – and PSG will want some sort of resolution sooner rather than

later.

As such, sanctioning a loan departure involving a sizeable fee may be the best way forward for Les Parisiens.

Last month, they accepted a world-record €300m (£259.5m) bid from Al-Hilal – but Mbappe was not interested in a switch to the Saudi Pro League.

More Liverpool transfer stories

Liverpool transfer news is coming thick and fast as we head towards the final few weeks of the summer window.

The Reds have been chasing Romeo Lavia, but arch-rivals Manchester United could pip them to the Southampton midfielder.

Jurgen Klopp and co. might win the race for Celta Vigo and Spain midfield hotshot Gabri Veiga, though.

And Liverpool are also aiming to beat Chelsea to the signature of Brighton star Moises Caicedo.

£10m Liverpool player now in ‘advanced talks’ to leave the club this summer

Liverpool and Leeds United are now in advanced talks about the transfer of defender Nat Phillips.

That’s according to journalist Rudy Galetti, who shared more details on Twitter about the centre-back’s future.

Leeds manager Daniel Farke would have preferred to have a new defender through the doors at Elland Road before today’s match against Cardiff.

Instead, he’s seen plenty of players head out this summer with only three new incomings secured before the Championship kicked off.

For Liverpool, the majority of their business this summer has also been outgoings.

Jurgen Klopp allowed several midfielders to leave the club at the end of last season and set about rebuilding that area of the squad.

Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have arrived, but more signings are needed.

However, another Liverpool departure looks to be on the cards with Nat Phillips getting closer to a move to Leeds United.

The 26-year-old needs to find a permanent home away from Anfield after years of sitting on the bench and being sent on loan.

Elland Road could be the perfect place to rebuild his career as they seek an immediate return to the Premier League.

Liverpool and Leeds in advanced talks over Phillips

Posting on Twitter, Galetti said: “Advanced talks between #LeedsUTD and #Liverpool for Nat #Phillips.

“The parties are discussing some details about the proposal set at ~£10m add-ons included.

“The English CB has been targeted by Leeds as one of the ideal profiles to replace #Wober, now on loan at #Gladbach.”

There’s always been an expectation that Phillips would leave the club this summer.

Although Liverpool aren’t blessed with a huge number of centre-back options, Phillips is too far down the pecking order to expect regular football.

Leeds has been a potential destination for Phillips for a while this summer as soon as his Liverpool exit looked likely.

As Galetti says, with Max Wober now no longer at the club, Farke would like more cover in that role.

Liam Cooper is a brilliant defender at Championship level and between Pascal Struijk and Charlie Cresswell, he has two able deputies.

But Phillips – who has won promotion with Bournemouth in the past – could take the team up a level.
