PSG has the perfect opportunity to take out two birds with a single stone. The club seems to be at its wit’s end, trying to keep hold of Kylian Mbappe. Despite multiple attempts, the Frenchman hasn’t budged from his stance and is likely to walk out as a free agent come summer. However, things could take a surprising turn if Nasser Al-Khelaifi could somehow convince Jurgen Klopp to join PSG, with the German leaving his post at Liverpool come June.

There are multiple factors to consider. Kylian Mbappe is arguably the best soccer star in the world at the moment. However, the Frenchman, apart from his 2018 World Cup title, has nothing to back those claims. Mbappe wants to correct that by winning European silverware and feels that a move to Real Madrid can help him fulfill those dreams.

Enter Jürgen Klopp! The German tactician is known for his winning mentality. His arrival in Paris could help PSG transform into the superpower they have always wished to be. With a massive payroll at his disposal, Klopp has the perfect opportunity to build a team around Mbappe. The German time and again has been vocal about his admiration for Mbappe but believes no club can afford the Frenchman.

Well, the German could fulfill his wishes of coaching the Frenchman following a move to PSG. Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s side has the financial firepower to offer the player the best contract across Europe. Klopp can provide Mbappe with the winning setup he desperately needs. Add in a hefty paycheck on the side and it could be a win-win situation for the Frenchman.

Kylian Mbappe seems all set to move to Real Madrid, and perhaps nothing can change his mind this time around. Higher-ups at PSG believe the player has a deal in place with Los Blancos and is unlikely to renew his contract with the Parisians. While Premier League side Liverpool had risen as a secondary contender for the Frenchman’s services, Klopp’s departure is likely to knock them out of the race.

However, the situation is nothing but completely hypothetical at the moment. PSG will have to go through multiple roadblocks to get things done according to their wishes. Signing Klopp does not ensure Mbappe’s future at the club. The Parisians will also have to sever their ties with current head coach Luis Enrique to facilitate a move for Klopp. Enrique has yet to put a wrong foot forward during his time in Paris and is unlikely to accept a mutual termination.
