Liverpool DON’T need PSG superstar even on a free transfer, club legend claims

Posted by

Liverpool legend Ian Rush has suggested that the club do not need to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe this summer.

Despite Real Madrid being the firm favourites to scoop Mbappe on a free transfer when his PSG contract expires on June 30th, Liverpool are been another who have been linked with making a move to sign the Frenchman.

Jurgen Klopp may well feel as though they have an outside chance of convincing him to move to Anfield, but club legend Ian Rush doesn’t believe that there is any dire need to add the PSG superstar to their frontline.

Speaking to gambling.com, Rush said: “The strength Jurgen Klopp has up front is already frightening – it’s as good as it gets – so I think we can now forget about adding Mbappe into the mix.”

“Liverpool have an abundance of talent now but Klopp will always pick the team based on the opposition, and no one – maybe with the exception of Mohamed Salah – is guaranteed a starting place up front.”

“He’s got six or seven options now when everyone’s fit and each one of them offer different skills for different situations.”

“Diogo Jota can score a brace and then find himself on the bench in the next game, that’s how competitive it is right now. But it’s a healthy situation for Liverpool to be in, it’s one hell of a squad now.”

“These players would get into most other sides every week, but Klopp has a way of keeping his players patient and hungry, and that’s why his attacking options on the bench always look so strong.”

“It goes to show you how good a manager he is, he keeps everyone on their toes.”

While it’s true that Liverpool are blessed with one of the most impressive pools of attacking talent you’ll see anywhere on the planet, Mbappe is the kind of player that you drop everything to bring through the door.

Whoever is successful in signing him on a free, should he decide to leave PSG, will arguably be getting one of the finest deals in the history of the sport. Liverpool can ill afford to pass up that opportunity, should it be presented to them.
