Liverpool are sure to have a big summer transfer window. The Reds were relatively hamstrung in the last summer window due to the financial uncertainties surrounding the pandemic. We expect a more confident and substantial window this time around. The Liverpool pursuit of Kylian Mbappe could be boosted by Real Madrid reportedly planning on sacking Zinedine Zidane.
Liverpool want Kylian Mbappe
There’s transfer sagas and then there’s transfer sagas.
This is one set to rumble on until we have some clarity on the youngster’s future.
Liverpool have been linked with the wonderkid since before he signed for PSG.
AS have reported that Liverpool want Mbappe but that he would cost them around £135m.
Real Madrid planning on sacking Zidane
According to Guillem Balague for the BBC, Real Madrid are planning on changing managers in the summer.
The Madrid hierarchy allegedly ‘see the end of the Zidane era’ but want to wait until the summer before making the switch.
The news comes hot on the heels of Los Blancos being dumped out of the Copa del Rey by third tier Alcoyano.
Liverpool pursuit of Mbappe boosted
Should Madrid indeed sack Zidane then the Reds should be made up.
Liverpool will have a better chance of signing the PSG forward if Zizou isn’t at the helm at the Bernabeu.
Zidane is a legend of the French game, playing under him would inevitably be a massive draw for Mbappe.
Madrid getting rid of the Frenchman could well tip the scales in the Reds’ favour when it comes to the race for Mbappe.
