Former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has revealed how his attempt to sign Kylian Mbappe during his time at the Premier League club ended unsuccessfully.
Mbappe, regarded as one of the most sought-after young talents in world football during the summer of 2017, attracted interest from several top European clubs.
However, the French forward eventually chose to leave Monaco for Paris Saint-Germain instead of joining any of the other interested clubs.
Liverpool were among the clubs eager to secure Mbappe’s signature and even flew the player’s family on a private jet in a bid to persuade him to move to Anfield.
Klopp told Magenta TV: “With Mbappe, it was before he went to Paris. That was roughly €500 million, the most expensive non-transfer we’ve ever made.
“We flew from Blackpool to Nice. In Nice, the whole Mbappe family boarded a private jet with five cabins. Then we flew around in circles and had a delicious meal. We weren’t allowed to be seen. It was great – and then he went to Paris.”
