The curious proposition from LeBron James to make Kylian Mbappe leave PSG

Kylian Mbappe's future is completely unknown. Some people think he will stay at Paris Saint-Germain, some people think he will leave somewhere else. For a long time, Zinedine Zidane has been trying to convince him to join Real Madrid, but he had unexpected competition: LeBron James.

That is because LeBron and the striker are working together for Nike and get along well. And it turned out that the Los Angeles Lakersplayer has interest in Mbappe's situation. No, he does not want him to turn to play basketball. But he has shares in Liverpool and wants him to replace Mohamed Salah, who wants to leave.

Jürgen Klopp has told the Liverpool board that he wants a new top player to keep being competitive, and wants the PSG striker who is reported to not be comfortable at his current club. Surely, that has been enough to send a message to LeBron of convincing him to join them.

It has been reported that Mbappe had rejected the offers from Leonardo, PSG sports director, to extend his contract, to expire in 2022. That gave Real Madrid hopes of finally getting him after years of pursue, but it turns out they might not be the final choice of the world champion.
