Juergen Klopp said recently that Liverpool were keen on Mbappe and the player said there had been some contact.
“We talked somewhat, yet not to an extreme,” Mbappe told the Daily Telegraph. “I conversed with Liverpool since it’s the most loved club of my mum, my mum loves Liverpool. I don’t have the foggiest idea why, you should ask her.
“It’s a decent club and we met them quite a while back. At the point when I was in Monaco I met them. It’s a major club. Obviously, it was between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain eventually.”
Liverpool and Madrid will meet in Paris in the Champions League last Saturday.
Mbappe told a news gathering on Monday that his choice to reprimand Madrid for PSG was not about cash but instead about the “donning project.”
The forward rejected that PSG offered him the club captaincy – – as well as contribution on move strategy and other key choices – – to convince him to remain in Paris.
