Liverpool has a clear choice for manager to increase hopes of Kylian Mbappe transfer
Mbappe remains undecided on whether he will leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer. His contract expires at the end of June, with the French club desperate to tie him down to another deal. Madrid have not given up hope of attracting the France international to the Spanish capital. Mbappe’s future could be one of the sagas of the summer transfer window.

“When you’re a manager and there is a player like him, of course, you’d want to manage him,” Zidane told L’Equipe.
“Lots of things can happen. It could happen one day. He is a player that wears the France shirt well. In any case, I admire what he does.
He’s beautiful, strong.” Twelve months ago, Mbappe defended Zidane following perceived criticism from the then president of the France Football Federation, Noel Le Graet. Le Graet said he would not care if Zidane took the Brazilian national team job, with which he had been linked, and said he would not pick up the phone if the former France captain had tried to call him about replacing Didier Deschamps. In two spells at Real Madrid, the 51-year-old won three Champions League and two La Ligas.
