KYLIAN MBAPPE has confirmed he held talks with Liverpool over a sensational Anfield move.
The French striker ended speculation around his future by announcing he’s signed a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
The 23-year-old sparked rage from Real Madrid, who expected the forward to join them.
But Mbappe confirmed he’s staying put in the French capital in a highly-anticipated announcement at the weekend.
And the superstar has since revealed that Real Madrid weren’t the only club he considered joining.
Mbappe told TeleFoot: “It was not just Real Madrid and PSG – I was in talks to join Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.”

And in an interview with the Telegraph, he added: “I talked to Liverpool because it’s the favourite club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool. I don’t know why, you will have to ask her!
“It’s a good club and we met them five years ago. When I was in Monaco I met them. It’s a big club.”
Liverpool boss Klopp issued a brilliant response when asked whether he was interested in signing Mbappe.
Speaking earlier this month, Klopp said: “Of course we had interest in him, we are not blind!”

The German was also asked if Liverpool had made contact with Mbappe’s representatives.
And he responded: “Nothing to say about that. But with Kylian it is all set, all fine. We, of course, like him.
“And if you don’t like him, you have to question yourself.
“But we cannot be part of these battles between, there must be other clubs involved, but that’s fine.”
