Last Word On Football’s latest transfer round-up aims to bring you the latest transfer rumours from world football. Today, we look at which club Liverpool will fight with over Kylian Mbappe, as well as who could be leaving Chelsea soon.
Transfer Rumours: Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Nemanja Matic and Pedro
Liverpool to Go Head-to-Head With Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe
According to Kathryn Batte of the Liverpool Echo, via El Desmarque, Liverpool are to go head-to-head with Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe.
The French international continues to be linked with a move to the Spanish capital. However, the Reds are now in the frame. The report suggests that Liverpool are well-stocked with funds following their success last season.
Mbappe would add even more firepower to the current Liverpool attack. Last season saw him score 39 goals in all competitions. That form looks to continue, as the 20-year-old already has nine goals so far this season.
Chelsea to Get Rid of More Senior Players
Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph is reporting that Chelsea could listen to offers for Olivier Giroud and Pedro.
The pair have both seen little playing time so far this season and are out of contract in the summer. Giroud has featured in just five games so far this season, while Pedro has been handed seven appearances, although four have been in cup competitions.
As a result, both Giroud and Pedro could leave in January, as Frank Lampard looks to continue implementing his policy on youth.
Furthermore, Marcos Alonso could make it a trio of players to leave Stamford Bridge. The Spaniard’s future appears to be doubt, as Frank Lampard appears to prefer Emerson at left-back.
Nemanja Matic Looking to Leave Manchester United?
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Nemanja Matic is looking to leave Manchester United in January, according to Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News.
The Serbian has seen little playing time so far this season, featuring in just five games. As a result, Matic is now looking to receive more playing time as he reaches the twilight of his career.
