Liverpool Came Close to Signing Kylian Mbappé in 2022 Before PSG Extension

Liverpool Reflect on Missed Opportunity to Sign Kylian Mbappé in 2022

As Liverpool look back on a quiet transfer window under new manager Arne Slot, a report from France has shed light on how close the club came to signing Kylian Mbappé in 2022.

This summer, the French forward became the subject of one of the most high-profile transfers when he left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. However, two years earlier, Liverpool had been in the mix to sign the 25-year-old when he was considering leaving PSG.

Despite the speculation, Mbappé ultimately extended his stay in Paris by signing a one-year contract that would keep him at the club until 2024, delaying his eventual move to Madrid and closing the door on a potential switch to Anfield.
