He will be 28 in December. I think I can see him staying there for a long time but then I don’t think it’s impossible to see him [leave] at some point.“We know that Liverpool is the club that his mum loves. They were the team and the club that they watched the most and they were really loving.“It’s funny because all those of English teams tried to sign him when he was 12, 14, 15, 17. Some went all the way to Nice and parked the private jet at the airport just waiting in case he was not staying in Monaco and decided to leave. “They were all there ready to make him an offer. So, maybe one day, I think he would be great in the Premier League.“I think he’s got the game for it and he watches it all.”Mbappe’s mother loves LiverpoolIn 2022, Mbappe was linked with Liverpool but the player himself insisted he was closer to joining them in 2017, while he was still at Monaco.View Tweet: https://t.co/3UMubxwiJr“We talked a little bit, but not too much. We talked a little bit,” Mbappe told the Daily Telegraph.“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.”Meanwhile, at the 2022 World Cup, where Mbappe scored a hat-trick as a losing finalist against Argentina, his mother again revealed her love for the Reds.Fayza Lamari was pictured with one supporter during France’s 2-1 win in the quarter-finals over England.She was seen joyously pointing at the liverbird on his shirt, while the X post alluded to positive news for Liverpool fans.It read: “Ok just to put a brightener on the England loss for Liverpool fans.. this is my boy.. I will not say what she said but this is [Kylian Mbappe’s] mum.”View Tweet: https://twitter.com/KMbappe?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwLiverpool latestLiverpool spent mega-money last summer as they looked to add even more fire power to their squad.Hugo Ekitike was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for £69million while Alexander Isak was then added for a British record £125m in total after a protracted chase in the transfer window.French ace Ekitike settled more quickly and ended the season with 17 goals in all competitions as he ruptured his Achilles tendon in April.Isak, though, struggled from the off and injury issues, including a fibula fracture sustained while scoring against Tottenham, hindered his progress.He finished on four goals in 22 appearances and will hope a World Cup with Sweden can reignite his goalscoring abilities.Having both on the books, for now, though, would impact their ability to land Mbappe should an opportunity arise.That’s despite the exit of top earner Mohamed Salah, who leaves the club after an iconic nine-season spell at Anfield which saw him win the Premier League twice and the Champions League.
