Thursday's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup: Kylian Mbappe, David Carmo, Takumi Minamino

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Liverpool on Thursday, February 18.

The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Liverpool to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Anfield.

Thursday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Paris Saint-Germain 'set asking price for Kylian Mbappe'

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly signalled that Kylian Mbappe will be available for €200m (£174m) this summer if the attacker does not sign a new contract.

The 22-year-old's existing deal in Paris is due to expire in June 2022, and the France international has not yet decided whether to commit his future to the Ligue 1 champions.

Liverpool, Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester City are all believed to be interested in signing the World Cup winner, who has scored 21 times in 29 appearances at club level this term.

According to Le Parisien, PSG are desperate to keep hold of the attacker, but Mauricio Pochettino's side would be prepared to sell him for €200m (£174m) this summer if he does not sign a new contract.

The report claims that any possible suitor would also need to pay Mbappe a salary in excess of €30m (£26m) a year due to his standing as one of the best young players in the world.

The Frenchman scored a hat-trick as PSG recorded a 4-1 win over Barcelona in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

Mbappe has netted 111 goals and registered 59 assists in 153 outings for his current side in all competitions.



Real Madrid to rival Liverpool, Manchester United for David Carmo?

Real Madrid have reportedly joined Liverpool and Manchester United in the race to sign Braga defender David Carmo.

Premier League giants Liverpool and United were strongly linked with the 21-year-old in the January window.

Liverpool are said to have had a couple of bids knocked back before moving for Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies, but Carmo remains a target for both the Reds and United.

However, Spanish outlet AS claims that Madrid have also been keeping tabs on the Portugal Under-20s international with a view to making a move.

Carmo has a €40m (£34.79m) release clause in his contract, but Braga were supposedly willing to accept €25m (£21.74) last month.

Madrid have upped their search for a new central defender amid strong suggestions that Sergio Ramos will leave the club in the summer.
