Report: Liverpool now preparing transfer offer to sign £173m player, Chelsea also want him
Liverpool are reportedly preparing an offer to sign Kylian Mbappe, with PSG open to selling the French superstar this summer.
According to AS, the Reds are one of three clubs interested in the 24-year-old attacker, with Chelsea and Al-Hilal also readying bids of their own to sign Mbappe, who PSG want to sell this window for around €200m (£173m).

We all know that Mbappe’s heart is already in Madrid, with a move to La Liga now seemingly a given if PSG and Real can find an agreement over a fee, something that could be a struggle for the Spanish giants.
As for Liverpool, though, signing Mbappe could always remain a fantasy, with this summer clearly the wrong time for the Reds to make a club-record move for French superstar.
