Electric forward dubbed "best in Europe" has been "told to join Liverpool" - Reds already made contact

Kylian Mbappe has been told to join Liverpool by one of his close footballing advisors, according to reports.

Mbappe has made major headlines in the transfer department since last week, when Spanish outlet Marca reported that he had asked to leave PSG in July.

It was claimed that PSG agreed to his demand, and accepted they would attempt to sell him in January - with conditions.

That report set the rumour wheel in motion, with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all linked with the forward.

Real Madrid are not included in the list of interested teams. That is because Marca claim they have 'no desire to participate in the whole drama' involving Mbappe. Therefore, they have effectively been ruled out of the race.

Links to Liverpool are so strong due to comments made by Mbappe in an interview with The Telegraph in May.

The 23-year-old revealed he had previously spoken to Liverpool about a potential move.

Now, the Reds' chances of signing Mbappe may have improved - with family ties playing a role.

Mbappe advisor tells French star to join Liverpool

According to a report by French outlet El Pais (as per Liverpool Echo), Mbappe's uncle, Pierre Mbappe, has told Mbappe that Anfield is the 'most appropriate destination' for him.

The same source also claims that Liverpool have been in contact with the player's family for a number of years.

Mbappe may not have too many realistic options should he choose to leave PSG, with Real seemingly out of the race. Chelsea have also been credited with an interest, while Manchester City may also be able to afford the Frenchman's astronomical wages.

Esteemed journalist Guillem Balague claims that Mbappe is on £650,000-a-week wages at PSG.

There are plenty of stumbling blocks in the way of any deal for the Frenchman, but the latest reports will give their fans some hope.
