PSG are keen to let Kylian Mbappe join Liverpool but plan to have Mo Salah head to the French capital as part of the same deal.
This report comes from Egyptian journalist Ismael Mahmoud, who called the 30-year-old the Paris-based team’s “main target” if the World Cup winner decides to leave the Parc des Princes.
Fabrizio Romano has recently revealed that the former Monaco striker is “not happy” in France, but Christophe Galtier’s side “have no intention” of selling him in January.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are believed to be long-time admirers of the 23-year-old and with Real Madrid reportedly no longer interested in signing him, Anfield is believed to be his next preferred destination.
Liverpool are also a club that the Ligue 1 side would rather see one of their main men depart.

The Egypt international, whom Jurgen Klopp called “unbelievable” in Liverpool’s loss to Arsenal on Sunday, only signed a new long-term deal earlier this year and has been nothing short of world-class since his return to the PremierLeague.
Since his arrival from AS Roma in 2017, the No. 11 has won every major trophy possible and has 223 goal contributions in 266 appearances for the FA Cup champions.
I would still expect PSG to demand a lot of cash and Salah if this deal were considered and we certainly think it will be a transfer that will be discussed at the end of the season rather than next winter. window.
Liverpool are also being linked with Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, and many Liverpool supporters would rather see the club spend money strengthening that part of the pitch.
