Liverpool<\/a> were the front-runners to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe in the summer transfer window last year, claims The Athletic<\/a>. The Reds would have had to pay a record fee to sign the Frenchman as a possible replacement for the departed Sadio Mane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Ligue 1 giants opened the door for Kylian Mbappe to leave the club in the summer window, the Athletic also adds. However, they were not willing to let him leave for Real Madrid – the team he ultimately rejected<\/a> after seemingly flirting with them for a long period.<\/p>\n

It is also added that Mbappe rejected a move to Anfield because he was not willing to make a move to the Premier League side. Liverpool were not going to sign him for a cheap fee anyhow, with PSG reported to be asking for a huge fee of \u00a3352 million if the Reds actually wanted to sign him in the summer.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp’s side were anyhow unlikely to pay that fee, knowing that they would also have to pay Kylian Mbappe some huge wages too. The Frenchman is reportedly receiving wages of \u00a31.3 million per week (according to the New York Times)<\/a> in his latest PSG contract, which is something which not many other clubs can even afford.<\/p>\n
