Liverpool Transfer News Roundup: Mbappe will consider Liverpool move, Klopp asks board to keep monitoring Alaba, and more - 25th January 2021

Liverpool will hope for a positive result in their next Premier League game when they face Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday. Let’s take a look at the latest transfer news featuring Liverpool from 25th January 2021.

Mbappe will consider Liverpool move if they make an offer

Kylian Mbappe will consider a move to Liverpool should the Premier League champions make an offer for the Frenchman, ESPN have claimed.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Mbappe, and their lack of transfer activity in January has fuelled rumours that they might make a big signing in the summer.

Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires in the summer of 2022. Other clubs will be able to take advantage of his contract situation next summer if he does not sign an extension.

The Frenchman is still only 22 and is one of the biggest names in football at the moment. He has 14 goals and six assists to his name in the Ligue 1 this season.
