Kylian Mbappe is reportedly considering a move to Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old has continued to shine in the French capital this season, scoring 18 goals and providing two assists in just 16 Ligue 1 matches.
Mbappe has already won a World Cup with France in 2018 and has been linked with a move away from Parc des Princes for the last couple of transfer windows.
Since moving permanently to PSG from Monaco in the summer of 2018, the attacker has netted 212 goals in 238 appearances for the perennial French champions.
According to French outlet Le Parisien, Liverpool are a credible horse in the race to secure the services of Mbappe at the end of the season.

The report claims that the world-class forward is mulling over his options ahead of the summer window - one of which being a switch to Anfield.
It is understood that Reds head coach Jurgen Klopp is very keen on bringing Mbappe to Merseyside for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
With the Frenchman's deal at Parc des Princes expiring in June, he is free to talk to foreign clubs about a potential move in the summer window.
It has been widely reported that Real Madrid are the favourites for Mbappe's signature, although Carlo Ancelotti's men are not alone in their interest.

Liverpool will make a serious attempt to sign the 25-year-old and he is not ruling out a transfer to Anfield at this stage.
Should Mbappe move to the Bernabeu, it is suggested that he would earn twice as much as his highest-paid teammates - a fact which could cause unrest in the dressing room.
Before the winter break in France, Mbappe netted a brilliant brace for PSG during their 3-1 win at home to Metz, sending Luis Enrique's side five points ahead of second-placed Nice in the Ligue 1 standings.
Following a New Year's Day hosting of Newcastle United in the Premier League, Mbappe-linked Liverpool will travel to Arsenal in the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
