Liverpool want 18-year-old ‘at all costs’ but fail with €100m offer – report
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is desperate to sign Kylian Mbappe in the summer transfer window, according to reports in Spain
Jurgen Klopp wants Liverpool to sign Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe at all costs this summer despite already failing with a €100m (£88m) offer, according to reports in Spain.
Spanish newspaper Marca is reporting that the Reds manager is desperate to add Mbappe to his squad this summer as Klopp looks to overhaul his squad ahead of the 2016-17 season.
The same article states that Monaco have no intention of selling the 18-year-old striker unless the Ligue 1 champions receive an offer in excess of the €114m (£100m) that Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba.
Mbappe is also thought to be a target for Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Arsenal and Spanish giants Real Madrid in the current transfer window.
The France teenager scored 15 times in 26 games in his first full season in Ligue 1, while Mbappe netted six goals in nine Champions League outings.
Liverpool completed their second summer signing on Thursday evening after Egypt international Mohamed Salah sealed a club-record move to the Merseyside outfit from Serie A giants AS Roma.
The Reds have also added England Under-20 international Dominic Solanke to their squad after the striker completed a free transfer from Premier League champions Chelsea.
