Liverpool and Real Madrid appear to be the favourites at the moment to take on Kylian Mbappé's services should the French striker decide to leave Paris Saint-Germain. The English club, says 'L'Équipe', is becoming more and more likely.

The future of Kylian Mbappé is one of the biggest questions in football. When the season ends in June 2021, the French star will only have one year left on his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, so speculation about his future will become more meaningful and will increase over time.

The Parc des Princes club wishes to continue his contract. The continuity of Neymar, and even the hypothetical arrival of Leo Messi to the team, could be key factors in the decision making process.

Meanwhile, since his departure from Monaco, Real Madrid has been gradually moving towards becoming the main candidate to sign him. With permission, taking into account the latest information, from Liverpool.

The purchasing power of the whites and the scarcity of signings during the last few markets placed them at the top of the table, but the 'reds' have been linked to Mbappé for some time and even 'The Sun' assured that they would be willing to break the trident formed by Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.

And now it has been the French media 'L'Équipe' that has warned of Liverpool's intentions. The sports project of the club, the presence of Jürgen Klopp at Anfield and the agreement of sponsorship with Nike could decant the balance in favor of the Merseyside club.

Also if rumours begins that place Salah outside the team, Mbappé could be their perfect replacement. In addition, the Egyptian's departure would free up some of his salary, which would be used to convince the 22-year-old striker.
