Liverpool are reportedly giving serious consideration to launching a bid for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

Despite having recently won the Champions League and Premier League, it has been suggested that the Merseyside giants cannot afford the World Cup winner.

PSG are currently attempting to extend the contract of the France international, who has just over 18 months remaining on his contract.

However, according to AS, Liverpool are in a strong position when it comes to making an approach for the 22-year-old.

The report suggests that the start of the club's sponsorship deal with Nike later this year will provide them with the funds required to get a deal over the line.

Despite long-term interest from Real Madrid, Mbappe is also said to be open to a switch to the Premier League.
