Liverpool 'open to offering £199m plus Sadio Mane for Kylian Mbappe'

Liverpool are allegedly prepared to offer Sadio Mane and £199m to Paris Saint-Germain for Kylian Mbappe.

Despite continued speculation regarding the World Cup winner's future, the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic will likely lead to any interested clubs being unable to sign the France international during the next window.

However, according to The Sun, Liverpool are open to putting together a blockbuster proposal for a player widely regarded as the most sought-after forward in the world behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The report suggests that the Premier League leaders are willing to part with a near world-record fee and Mane, one of their key players.

The Senegal international, who has three years left on his contract, has previously been linked with a future transfer to Real Madrid.

PSG are currently attempting to negotiate fresh terms with Mbappe, who wants an affordable release clause inserted into any new deal.
