Liverpool eye summer move for £144m-rated "golden boy", he's even better than Haaland - opinion

Liverpool have been linked with Paris Saint Germain striker Kylian Mbappe for some time now, and now a new update has emerged in the French media that the club could yet again be showing interest in the star.

According to French news outlet L’Equipe (via Sport Witness), Liverpool have ‘entered the dance’ to sign Mbappe this summer.

In 44 appearances this season Mbappe who was hailed the “golden boy” by teammate Neymar, has put up astonishing numbers for his Ligue 1  club with 35 goals scored and an impressive 24 assists in all competitions.

The talented PSG star has guided his team to another league title and by scoring six important Champions League goals saw his team compete with Real Madrid but unfortunately his game-winning goal in Paris and a second strike at the Bernabeu were not enough to secure progression against the now finalists.
