Real Madrid and French national team striker Kylian Mbappe shared his thoughts about how close he was before moving to English Liverpool in 2016. Then another 18-year-old talent played for Monaco, and the Reds reported a lot of effort to lure him to the Foggy Albion.

In an interview with The Athletic, the footballer admitted that he was eager to please his mother, who was in a state of fear at the prospect of moving to England.

" This was my mother’s favorite place, she wanted me to go there. She went to the place, met people, went to Enfield and fell into the new. Vaughn said: “This is a wonderful, great, family club. You play there, it will be God’s ville for you,” said Mbappe.

Liverpool's great head coach Jurgen Klopp, acting as an expert at the World Cup 2026, also guessed these ideas. Abi to save negotiations in the dungeon, the club rented a luxurious private flight for Mbappe’s homeland.

" Our whole homeland has settled on a private flight with five rooms. We flew through the stake, said our prayers, ate deliciously. It was fantastic, but as a result we went to Paris,” shared a German favet.

Mbappe himself calls this story a disaster, but he means that his decision was residual and knowledgeable. Despite all the efforts of the Merseysiders, Kilian will be lost to France.

“I haven’t heard, because I want to play in my native place - Paris. I don’t want to deprive my country, first I’ll stop. There was no better way for me to show what I could look at at home,” the gravets explained..

The bag has been purchased to Paris Saint-Germain - the first part on loan, and then on a permanent basis for 180 million euros. During this time, in the capital of France, he became the highest scorer in the history of the club, and in 2024 he moved to Real Madrid.
