JAKARTA - The French player, Kylian Mbappe, had become a commodity in the market this summer. He was heavily linked with Real Madrid before finally deciding to stay at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
After officially extending the contract, Kylian Mbappe then opened up about rumors related to him. He revealed that Real Madrid was not the only club trying to get his services.
Kylian Mbappe admitted, Liverpool also had an interest in him. He has also been in communication with the English Premier League club.
"It's not just Real Madrid and PSG, I'm also in talks to join Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool," Mbappe said in an interview with The Telegraph.

He insists that Liverpool is not the last option. The former AS Monaco player stated that the club from Merseyside, England, was an idol club from his mother.
"I spoke to Liverpool because it was my mother's favorite club. My mother loves Liverpool. I don't know why, you have to ask her," Mbappe said.
The 23-year-old said Liverpool was a big team. Unfortunately, the communication between him and Liverpool did not last as intensely as PSG and Real Madrid.
This is believed to be related to funding issues. Previously, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, openly acknowledged his team's interest in recruiting Mbappe, but collided with funds.
Klopp stressed, Liverpool is not the type of club that can enter the competition for Kylian Mbappe's signature.
