Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Kylian Mbappe are still at loggerheads with the latter reportedly pursuing away from Parc de Princes. Clubs from England, Saudi Arabia, Spain and many others are showing interest in the France captain. Once such club rumoured to be linked with Mbappe is none other than Liverpool.

Mbappé is the subject of a record 300 million euro ($332 million) bid by Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal. Amidst that, Klopp's Liverpool have been rumoured to be interested in the PSG star but the German has laughed off the news.

He could also be open to a temporary move for this season before leaving on a free transfer next year 바카라 possibly to join Real Madrid 바카라 at the end of his current contract.

바카라We laugh about it,바카라 Klopp told broadcaster Sky Germany as he prepared the squad for the final match of its preseason Asia tour against Bayern Munich in Singapore.

바카라I can say that I think he바카라s a really good player, but the financial conditions don바카라t suit us at all. I wouldn바카라t like to ruin the story now, but as far as I know, there바카라s nothing to it. It바카라s possible that someone else from the club is preparing something and wants to surprise me ... that hasn바카라t happened in the eight years that I바카라ve been here. That would be the first time.바카라

Liverpool have lost midfielders Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi clubs this summer transfer window, while striker Roberto Firmino has also gone to the oil-rich kingdom after his contract at Liverpool expired.

Klopp was not pleased that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open until Sept. 20 바카라 nearly three weeks after the European window closes.

바카라It is massive, in the moment,바카라 Klopp said about Saudi Arabia바카라s influence in quotes carried by British broadcaster BBC. 바카라Pretty much the worst thing I think is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open three weeks longer. If I am right, I heard something like that, then at least in Europe that바카라s not helpful.

바카라UEFA or FIFA must find solutions for that. But in the end, at this moment, I don바카라t know exactly what will happen.바카라
