Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are all fighting it out for the French international, who bagged 26 goals in 44 games for the French champions last term. The 18-year-old was a late sub in the World Cup qualifying defeat to Sweden last Friday but should start in Paris. Klopp does not want other clubs to steal a march on Liverpool in the race for Mbappe and has held preliminary talks with his agent. Monaco have already lost Bernardo Silva to Manchester City, while defender Benjamin Mendy is undecided about his future and is said to be on the radar of Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United. The French champions face further losses with Tiemoue Bakayoko looking Chelsea-bound and Manchester United chasing Brazilian midfielder Fabinho.
