Kylian Mbappe has reportedly informed Paris Saint-Germain of his desire to find a new challenge at the end of the 2020/21 season.

Despite being just 21, Mbappe is already a household name and one of the most coveted forwards in world football.

Widely-regarded as a future Ballon d’Or winner, the quick-silver forward has gobbled 90 goals and 51 assists in 124 appearances for PSG.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Liverpool are some of the clubs interested in acquiring Mbappe’s services. But, as per the Metro, the France international has his heart set on a move to the Premier League.

Having already lifted the Ligue 1 title four times, with Monaco and PSG respectively, the time has come for Mbappe to take more challenging tasks.

Therefore, the lightning-quick Frenchman has told the club’s hierarchy that he wants to leave the Parc des Princes next summer.

Desperate to keep hold of their headline performer, PSG have already tabled a few offers to persuade Mbappe to stay.

Perennial Ligue 1 champions are even willing to get rid of Neymar if that would guarantee them the World Cup winner will remain.

Mbappe, on the other hand, has waxed lyrical about Liverpool and their boss Jurgen Klopp on several occasions in the past.

Speaking of his admiration for the German boss and the defending Premier League champions, the young superstar said: “What Liverpool do at this moment is amazing.

“They’re like a machine, they’ve found a rhythm and are like ‘we play again, we play again.’ When you watch, you think everything’s easy, but that’s not easy.”

“The guys are focused, they play games every three days and they win, they win, they win”

Mbappe is said to be enthusiastic about joining Manchester United too. Resurgent Old Trafford giants already have Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial on their books.

It’s believed that the two Frenchmen could play a vital role in convincing Mbappe to choose Manchester as his next destination.
