Mbappe to Liverpool is a Done Deal 

Sky Sports journalist now shares what he’s heard about Liverpool signing Kylian Mbappe

Liverpool have been linked with a move to sign Kylian Mbappe from PSG, and Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has shared the latest on the situation.

The Reds look like they are back to their best now after what was a fairly underwhelming campaign last time out. They are definitely in the title race, and that makes them a really attractive club for top players. However, the links with Mbappe aren’t accurate, says Plettenberg on X.

Sky Sports journalist says Liverpool are not pushing to sign Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is expected to be a wanted man in 2024, and a number of clubs are said to be interested in his services, including Liverpool.

Football Transfers revealed just two days ago that the Reds are exploring the possibility of signing the French superstar if Mohamed Salah leaves the club next year.

Mbappe will become a free agent in the summer if he decides against extending his contract at Paris Saint-Germain – either by triggering his 12-month option or by signing a brand new deal.

Liverpool fans would sure love to sign Mbappe, but Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has now revealed that the Reds aren’t pursuing a move to sign the World Cup winner.

He tweeted: “Been told that Liverpool is NOT pushing for Kylian Mbappé. His transfer in summer 2024 is not an issue at this stage.

“PSG, still totally relaxed as they are financially secured (contractually) for his possible departure. Real Madrid is still the most realistic destination for him, either next year or the year after.”

Mbappe to Liverpool was always unlikely
Who wouldn’t want to sign Kylian Mbappe next year, especially on a free transfer?

The Frenchman is arguably the best player in the world right now, and he has the ability to improve every club on the planet.

Liverpool too would reach a whole new level if they signed Mbappe, but the Frenchman’s huge salary combined with what will surely be a mammoth signing-on fee means a move to Anfield was never likely.

It will be interesting to see where Mbappe will end up if he does leave PSG next year. As things stand, he won’t be coming to Liverpool.

Chelsea are internally discussing re-signing ‘amazing’ player they sold for £30m

There’s been conversations inside Chelsea about the idea of re-signing Fikayo Tomori.

That is according to well-respected journalist Simon Phillips.

Fikayo Tomori, who’s now 25, is a product of the Chelsea academy that came through the youth ranks at Cobham.

The centre-back played 27 first-team games for the Blues. However, he was eventually sold to AC Milan in a £30million deal (The Guardian) back in 2021.

Chelsea discussions
Phillips has reported via his Substack this afternoon that Chelsea are talking about Milan’s star defender.

Apparently, there’s been recent conversations inside Stamford Bridge about a possible move for the former Blues youngster.

Phillip wrote: “I am told that Fikayo Tomori has been internally discussed at the club in recent weeks as a potential option for centre back.

“I am not sure just how serious that interest is as of now, or who exactly has mentioned him. I just know that his name has come up in recent conversations at the club.”

Fikayo Tomori a quality defender
We’ve seen Tomori’s game come on leaps and bounds over the past couple of years in Italy.

The all-action centre-half has great pace, strength and reading of the game. He’s got big-game experience in the Champions League as well.

There’s no doubt that the move to Serie A has been excellent for his career. Incidentally, Tomori previously told The Players’ Tribune that he was convinced to join Milan by Thiago Silva.

We’ve got no doubt that the England international would return to the Premier League now as much closer to the finished article if Chelsea ramped up interest in his signature next year. We’re not sure that it’s necessary right now, though.

At this moment in time, Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino does already have a fantastic selection of centre-halves in the group. This includes the likes of Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi. There’s the injured pair of Wesley Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah on the sidelines, too.
