One of the foremost Liverpool transfer sagas of recent times has been #Mbappe2020. Kopites around the world have gotten themselves worked up over the possibility of the Reds bringing in the world’s most expensive teenager. There has been a series of coincidences and happenstances which have hinted that a move is not entirely off the cards. However, recent footage has emerged which indicates that Liverpool shouldn’t sign Kylian Mbappe.
Over the weekend the French sensation was brought off with PSG 3-1 up away at Montpellier. The superstar forward appeared to ignore manager Thomas Tuchel as he made his way down the bench.
The forward’s decision to ignore his manager is indicative of his ego and attitude. Liverpool shouldn’t sign Kylian Mbappe because we don’t do divas.
The philosophy that Jürgen Klopp has implemented at Anfield demands each player to die for one another on the pitch, we have a team, not a squad of individuals.
With Kylian Mbappe undoubtedly one of the brightest talents of his generation he also has a certain degree of ego – why wouldn’t you if you cost £165.7m at just 18-years-old?
The Express believe that it would take £258m to lure the Frenchman away from PSG. The Reds simply should not spend that sort of money on a player that doesn’t fit in with the dressing room.
We do not need a player that is going to kick up a fuss when he isn’t playing or is substituted. Sure, we had Sadio Mane complaining at the start of the season but that was because of a small spat with Mo Salah that was quickly resolved. We never see our players disrespect the manager.
