According to a recent report coming from France, Jurgen Klopp is doubling down on his efforts to sign Kylian Mbappe for Liverpool next season. 

Jurgen Klopp doesn’t seem to care that Kylian Mbappe has so many clubs after him for next summer. He also doesn’t seem to care about the French forward possibly thinking about staying at his current club. Despite Liverpool’s limited options to sign players of Mbappe’s level, Jurgen Klopp still believes he can convince the star. A recent report from Canal+ is highly suggesting that the German manager is starting to push the player’s entourage.

For Jurgen, it might be time to shake things up a bit on the attack. Getting fresh legs from one of the best players in the world might be right up his alley. It seems Liverpool is finally starting to realize they are one of the biggest clubs in the world and any player would kill to play for them. All Mbappe cares about is winning titles, which means Liverpool is definitely an option for him. Also, there’s a very important aspect of this transfer saga that nobody is talking about. 

Mbappe’s relationship with LeBron James. 

Yes! Kylian Mbappe has a close relationship with LeBron James, they are even collaborating together with some shoes for NIKE. But that’s not the most important part of this. In case you forgot. The Lakers’ player is one of Liverpool’s minority owners. Signing Kylian Mbappe for his squad is definitely within his interest. Why wouldn’t he press the young French forward about his future when the two meet for publicity purposes?

It is only logical that James would take advantage of his privileged position in order to persuade the PSG star. Perhaps Real Madrid won’t like hearing this, but Liverpool does have an advantage above the rest through LeBron James of all people. We are not saying they have talked about this possibility. But we are also not saying they haven’t.
