  • Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool has been tipped to be his most likely destination
  • Despite his incredible talents, one man voiced the opinion of many by warning Liverpool against trying to sign Mbappe
  • Former Premier League star Darren Bent believes it is in the Reds’ best interest to ignore the links

Signing Kylian Mbappe would be a step in the wrong direction and will not be worth it for Liverpool in the long run, according to former Aston Villa man Darren Bent.

23-year-old Mbappe finds himself at the centre of yet another transfer hurricane, with reports this time indicating he wants to leave the club ‘immediately’.

Marca broke the news on Tuesday, October 11, claiming Mbappe was fed up after PSG reportedly failed to keep some of the promises made when he penned a new deal.

Real Madrid would be the most likely candidate to take up Mbappe’s services, but PSG are unwilling to sell to the Spanish giants, who are themselves done with the pursuit.

This leaves Liverpool as Mbappe’s most plausible option, but Bent believes Jurgen Klopp’s side is better off not pursuing a deal.

“Mbappe comes with a lot of baggage… there always seems to be something,” Bent spoke on TalkSport.
“Look at Haaland who’s a superstar of world football, he comes with no baggage. Gets the deal done, you never hear any stories about him, he seems like the model professional.”
“Whenever we talk about Mbappe ,he’s always upset about something or he’s fallen out with somebody or him and Poch didn’t have a good relationship.”

Thierry Henry blasts Mbappe

Elsewhere, Sports Brief also reported of how Thierry Henry blasted Kylian Mbappe over the latest transfer saga.

According to Henry, he was deployed in a different position at Barcelona to accommodate Lionel Messi but he had to stick to that to help the team.

Part of the reason Mbappe is discontented is because PSG boss Christophe Galtier at times plays him down the centre, instead of his preferred flank.
