Pretty much any club in the world would want Kylian Mbappe, and with his Paris Saint-Germain contract coming to an end in 2022, the biggest sides will be lining up to make a move.
Late Football Club — a show on French channel Canal+ — has claimed that both Real Madrid and Liverpool are showing an interest in the Frenchman.
It turns out that Liverpool are currently the frontrunners in their attempts to sign one of the best out there, says the report.
There has been some talk around the possibility of Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool, but signing Mbappe would surely make up for it if that were to happen.

Barcelona call urgent meeting about Garcia
Barcelona have held an urgent meeting regarding the signing of Manchester City defender Eric Garcia, reports Sport.
Barca managing committee chair Carles Tusquets called a meeting with presidential candidates Joan Laporta, Victor Font and Toni Freixa, as well as sporting director Ramon Planes, which was held at 7 p.m. on Friday.
They had previously decided to wait until the summer to sign the Spaniard for free, but there are now suggestions they might move in the coming days.
Barca might have to pay City as little as €300,000 of the €3 million plus add-ons straight away, while Garcia is ready to play for free until the end of the season to help his chances of getting into Luis Enrique’s Euro squad.
