KYLIAN MBAPPE wants to play for Jurgen Klopp ahead of Carlo Ancelotti, according to reports.
And that could give Liverpool a shock transfer boost ahead of next summer.
Mbappe’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of this season.
And he has already made it clear he wants to leave the Ligue 1 side on a free transfer.
It appeared a foregone conclusion that the French star would join Real Madrid, a dream move since he was a boy.
Real Madrid even submitted a series of official bids for Mbappe in the last transfer window, the last reportedly worth around £189million.
But according to El Nacional via Sportsmole, he is ‘not convinced’ by Ancelotti as a manager.
The Italian left Everton and replaced Zinedine Zidane in the Bernabeu dugout this summer.

He has league titles in four different countries and three Champions Leagues on his impressive CV.
Instead, the report adds Mbappe would much rather work under Klopp if he was Los Blancos chief.
And while it seems unlikely the German will move to the Spanish giants, it could give Liverpool a better chance of landing Mbappe.
The Reds have been linked with the superstar forward in the past, with Klopp even reportedly calling his dad Wilfried last year to discuss a potential transfer.
Liverpool are desperate to hold on to Mo Salah and the addition of Mbappe in the strike force would surely make them among the most dangerous attacks in the world.
Salah has been tearing it up in England and across Europe with 15 goals already, while Mbappe has seven for the season so far.
Speaking in October, Mbappe said: “I wanted to leave Paris this summer.

“I’m not going to be the hypocrite, my ambition was clear. We will see what happens – my future is not my priority now.
“I am attached to PSG, and if I had left this summer, it would have only been for Real Madrid.
“I thought my adventure was over. If I had left, it would only have been to Real Madrid. Leaving PSG was the next logical step.”
