Liverpool are keeping a close eye on PSG’s Kylian Mbappe, who has been linked with a move away from the French club at the end of the season. Reports suggest that the 24-year-old is not content with his current situation and is looking for a new challenge. The Reds have been admirers of the forward for some time and he even admitted to speaking to them about a potential transfer before signing a new contract with PSG. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and could be a great addition to any team. It remains to be seen if Liverpool will make a move for the Frenchman, who would likely cost a record fee. The striker has been in fine form this season, scoring 27 goals and providing 6 assists in all competitions.
The football world is abuzz with speculation that Liverpool are keeping a close eye on French international Kylian Mbappe, with reports suggesting that the 24-year-old may leave Paris Saint Germain (PSG) at the end of this season.

Mbappe’s long-term future in the French capital has been the subject of speculation for some time and there have even been reports of a conversation between the striker and the English club over a potential move in the near future. It is hard to argue that Liverpool would be a fitting destination for one of the best players in the world.

Mbappe has been in fine form this season, scoring 27 goals and providing 6 assists in all competitions. He is one of the most dangerous attacking threats in Europe and his signing by Liverpool would make them a dominant force in the Premier League.

However, it remains unclear if Liverpool will make a move for the Frenchman given the cost of signing him. It is speculated that should Mbappe leave PSG, it would require a record fee, making it an expensive proposition for the Merseyside club.

That said, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Mbappe will join Liverpool in the near future. He has long been admired by the club and at 24 he has his best years ahead of him. Furthermore, if the reports are correct and he is not happy with his current situation at PSG, a change of scenery may be exactly what the Frenchman needs.

Only time will tell if the speculation holds any truth and whether or not Liverpool make a move for Mbappe. For now, it seems that he is content to stay at PSG, at least until the end of the season. Nevertheless, the prospect of having such a talent in the Premier League will be exciting for all football fans.

Jurgen Klopp has been given a boost with the return to training of centre-back Ibrahima Konate after three weeks out with a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old had previously missed the start of the season with a knee injury and has been in and out of the side ever since, with various fitness worries limiting him to just ten appearances across all competitions this campaign. Klopp is hoping that Konate will be able to reunite with Virgil van Dijk in the heart of Liverpool’s defence, but is wary of rushing him back too soon. The German also revealed that a number of other Reds stars are still getting up to speed after significant periods out of action. Following a 5-2 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Klopp is hoping that his team can learn from the mistakes made and be better prepared for their next game.
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side has been handed a much-needed boost with the return of centre-back Ibrahima Konate to the training pitch, following a three-week absence due to a hamstring injury.

Konate has seen his game time restricted this season, with a knee injury at the start of the season and various fitness worries causing him to miss the majority of fixtures across all competitions. The 23-year-old is now working hard to get back to full fitness and Klopp is hopeful that he can form a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk at the heart of Liverpool’s defence.

However, Klopp is acutely aware of the need not to rush Konate back too soon, instead needing the defender to get up to speed slowly and carefully. He also teased the possibility of a number of other Liverpool stars returning from injury, although he did not specify which players.

The Reds suffered a 5-2 Champions League defeat against Real Madrid in midweek and Klopp will be hoping that his team have learned from their mistakes, ensuring that they are in the best possible shape for their next game. The return of Konate will provide the perfect opportunity for them to show the improvement that the German manager is looking for.

Former Premier League defender Glen Johnson believes that Liverpool would be the ideal destination for Mason Mount, who is yet to agree to fresh terms with Chelsea. Johnson believes that the 24-year-old could revive his career at Anfield, and that the Reds would be eager to sign him. He also noted that no Chelsea signing has been worth the money spent since the takeover of Todd Boehly, as the club continues to struggle for form.
With Mason Mount’s contract talks with Chelsea yet to bring about a positive outcome, there is much uncertainty surrounding the future of the 24-year-old midfielder. But former Premier League defender Glen Johnson believes that Liverpool could be the perfect destination for Mount, who is looking to revive his career.

Johnson revealed that the Reds are eager to sign Mount, and that the player has the potential to reignite his career at Anfield. He is not alone in thinking this either, as reports have suggested that Jurgen Klopp views the Englishman as an ideal addition to his midfield.

Mount has been at Chelsea since the U14s and some argue he has not got the chance to reach his full potential due to the large number of high-profile signings made since the club’s takeover by Todd Boehly. Johnson concurs, noting that despite their immense spending, no player has been worth the money invested since the billionaire’s arrival.

The former defender also stated that regardless of whether Mount is with Liverpool or not, the player needs to start playing more regularly and ‘start delivering’ on a weekly basis if he is to make something of his career.

Mount may be a high profile player, but Johnson has warned that ‘the most talented players don’t always make it’, as there are many top professionals stuck in lower-level teams due to bad decisions or inadequate development.

Ultimately, it is up to the player himself to decide what is best for his career. But if the chance to join Liverpool arises, Johnson believes it could be a great move for the young midfielder.

Two of our Liverpool.com writers have different opinions on how the club should go about rejuvenating their defense in the summer. Tom Beattie believes that Liverpool should sign a top-class center back and keep Joël Matip as a fourth-choice option, while David Comerford argues that keeping Matip would be a questionable call and that the club should replace him with an elite talent who is less injury-prone.
In the summer of 2021, Liverpool Football Club will be looking to strengthen their defense in order to close the gap between themselves and their Premier League rivals. Two of our writers, Tom Beattie and David Comerford, have different opinions on how the club should go about this process.

Tom Beattie believes that Liverpool should bring in a top-class center back to solidify their defense, while keeping Joël Matip as a fourth-choice option. In his recent article, Beattie claims that Matip has proven himself over the past few seasons and has been relatively injury-free since the start of 2020.

On the other hand, Insidethegame.net’s David Comerford is of the opinion that keeping Matip would be a questionable call, and has urged Liverpool to replace him with an elite talent who is less injury-prone. Comerford argues that Matip has his limitations and can be prone to periods of poor form – something the club cannot afford if they are to compete for the top honours next season.

Though opinions differ, one thing remains the same: Liverpool are in need of defensive reinforcements if they are to make a real title challenge in the 2021/22 campaign. In an increasingly competitive Premier League, it remains to be seen which of our two authors’ recommendations will be most beneficial in helping to secure the club’s title ambitions.
