A detailed report on The Athletic, which dives deep into the Kylian Mbappe-Real Madrid saga, suggests the Frenchman has refused a move to Liverpool. There is no evidence of an offer from the Reds but the striker preferred a move to Madrid

In the summer of 2022, Paris Saint-Germain sparked controversy after rejecting a mega offer of almost €200m for Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman had entered his final year of contract in Paris and was seen as the favorite to land in the Spanish capital.
For months Madrid have been chasing Mbappe to be their next Galactico. There have been public confessions from Florentino Perez about wanting to land the World Cup runner-up. But he eventually re-signed with PSG in a mega contract that made him the highest paid footballer in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s deal with Al-Nassr makes him the highest paid athlete in any sport, but at the time, the deal with Mbappé was groundbreaking. He signed a lucrative deal under political pressure from France and Qatar.
NEW: Kylian Mbappé has reportedly ‘turned down’ a potential move to Liverpool during the summer transfer window.

Real Madrid remain open to renewed interest in the forward but may have to wait to bring him to Spain. It was the only club able to sign the 24-year-old on PSG’s terms.
Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a mega offer to try again to convince PSG to let Mbappé go. The report also named Liverpool as a potential suitor. PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi and an adviser named Antero Henrique have reportedly suggested the idea of ​​a move to Merseyside. They didn’t want Mbappé to join Real Madrid. They have reportedly asked for around 400 million euros for the French striker. However, there had to be some indication that Liverpool had made a real offer. Furthermore, Mbappe was unhappy with the idea and quickly rejected it to focus on a crucial future decision.

In the summer, Mbappe revealed he had held talks with Liverpool, confirming interest from the Merseysiders. However, the figures quoted could have been more achievable for any club, let alone Liverpool. As mentioned, only Real Madrid or PSG are capable of securing such a deal.
As for the future of the World Cup finalist, he will remain at PSG. Whether a future move to Real Madrid will materialize remains a big question. The Spanish giants will surely return to try it again.
