Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has addressed the speculation linking Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé with a move to the Premier League club. Amidst widespread discussion in the English media about the potential high-profile transfer, Klopp has expressed his detachment from the situation.
“I have no clue,” Klopp stated, emphasizing his lack of involvement in the transfer rumours. He further added, “I am not involved in that… but I can tell you that I would be surprised.”
The Liverpool boss also highlighted the financial implications of such a transfer, pointing out the challenges it would pose for most top clubs. “It would be tricky for most of the top clubs I know – wages, signing fee…,” Klopp remarked, shedding light on the complexities of negotiating deals for players of Mbappé’s stature.
Klopp’s comments come amidst ongoing speculation about Mbappé’s future at Paris Saint-Germain and the potential interest from leading European clubs, including Liverpool. However, Klopp’s recent statements suggest that a move for the French international to Anfield might not be as imminent as some reports have suggested.
