Today, we look at which club <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> will fight with over<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/42fd9c7f\/Kylian-Mbappe\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Kylian Mbappe<\/a>, as well as who could be leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea<\/a> soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Transfer Rumours: Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, Nemanja Matic and Pedro<\/h2>\n<h3>Liverpool to Go Head-to-Head With Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe<\/h3>\n<p>According to Kathryn Batte of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/liverpool-news-transfers-live-mbappe-17214643\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool Echo<\/a>, via El Desmarque, Liverpool are to go head-to-head with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a> for Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea to Get Rid of More Senior Players<\/h3>\n<p>Matt Law of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/football\/2019\/11\/06\/chelsea-open-offloading-olivier-giroud-pedro-january-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Telegraph<\/a> is reporting that Chelsea could listen to offers for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/16ceb862\/Olivier-Giroud\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olivier Giroud<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/3ca7254a\/Pedro\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pedro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The pair have both seen little playing time so far this season and are out of contract in the summer. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/16ceb862\/Olivier-Giroud\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giroud<\/a> has featured in just five games so far this season, while Pedro has been handed seven appearances, although four have been in cup competitions.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, both Giroud and Pedro could leave in January, as Frank Lampard looks to continue implementing his policy on youth.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/f4290206\/Marcos-Alonso\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcos Alonso<\/a> could make it a trio of players to leave Stamford Bridge.
