Liverpool ‘preparing £25m-a-year contract for Mbappe
Liverpool are putting together a £25m-a-year contract offer for Kylian Mbappe in the hope of winning the race to sign the Paris Saint-Germain attacker.
Mbappe was strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid in the latter stages of the summer transfer window, but Los Blancos could not agree a transfer fee with the Ligue 1 giants.
The France international has still not signed a new contract with Mauricio Pochettino’s side, meaning that, as it stands, he will be a free agent next June.
Real Madrid are still believed to be the favourites to sign the World Cup winner, but according to Defensa Central, Liverpool have not given up on tempting him to the Premier League.

The report claims that the Reds are preparing to offer the 22-year-old a huge contract worth £25m a year.
Mbappe has again been in impressive form for PSG during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring seven times and contributing 11 assists in 16 appearances in all competitions.
In total, the former Monaco youngster has netted 139 goals and registered 72 assists in 187 outings for Les Parisiens, who are not believed to be open to a January sale despite his contract situation.
